What should I do if I find a stray dog in Washington?
Washington is covered by Sunderland City Council, which must collect stray dogs; its dog warden service runs 9.00am-10.00pm, Monday to Friday only. The warden checks for a microchip or tag and, if the owner cannot be reached, takes the dog to West Hall Kennels, Cleadon Lane, Whitburn. The council notes that rehoming organisations cannot take strays directly from the public, so report the dog to the council.

My dog went missing in Washington - where might it have been taken and when can I phone?
