If you have lost your dog and wish to submit its details to the council to be placed on our lost dogs register please e-mail all details to our Dog Warden. Our Dog Warden will then be aware that you have lost your dog and you wish for him to keep you in mind when he picks up a stray.

Craigavon Borough Council's Dog Warden collects and average of 900 unwanted and stray dogs every year, from this total approximately 400 of these dogs are humanely destroyed because their owners can not be traced or they no longer want the dog. We are hoping that this year the number of dogs collected by the dog warden will decrease and also the number of healthy dogs being humanely destroyed will also decrease.

Northern Ireland has an on-going problem with stray dogs and the only way we can decrease the number of stray and unwanted dogs ending up on our street is by education. Craigavon Borough Council actively promotes and educates responsible dog ownership within our Borough Area. We work in partnership with The Dogs Trust to increase the number of dogs that can be easily identified through micro-chipping and also to increase the number of dogs and bitches in our area that have been neutered or spayed and this helps reduce the number of unwanted puppies in our area.

. Will you be able to walk your dog twice a day to keep it fit and healthy ?
. Will you have enough money to feed your dog and provide any veterinary treatment it might need ?
. Will you have enough time to spend with your dog - if your dog is left alone all day he might bark/rip up furniture/dig up your garden.
. Do you have the patience to care for your dog and train it in basic obedience ?
