Houndmistress Monmouthshire Council Policy on scanning of stray dogs - Monmouthshire will scan stray dogs, and notify the owner if a chip is found. Policy on scanning of dead dogs - If body is complete, description noted and warden will scan, then contact owners if possible. When a dog is picked up by the Highways section out of hours or off a trunk road the dog is not scanned (management reluctant to provide equipment). Out of hours service for stray dogs - Monmouthshire changed its out of hours service for strays in February 2011. The dog warden will no longer collect - instead members of the public can take a dog to the designated kennels, Whitewalls Kennel in Magor - telephone 01633 880362.
