There are many reasons a dog ends up wandering the streets, sometimes it’s simply accidental and they’ve escaped from their owners, other times it can be more sinister as dogs are deliberately abandoned. Thankfully an increasing amount of dogs are returned to their owners each year because they are microchipped. You may not know it, but the council can offer you free microchipping for your pet – giving you complete piece of mind should it go missing. When we are unable to trace owners through a microchip, the future may not be as bright. Once picked up by our Animal Wardens, they spend a week in the care of the council. If the owner is still not traced or doesn’t come forward to claim their dog, then the dog will be rehomed by Battersea Cats and Dogs Home. Notice
