Don’t panic — and don’t sign anything.
Do not sign anything until you understand why your dog is being seized. Ask the police why your dog is being seized and what they intend to do next.
If you contact Deed Not Breed but don’t yet know why your dog has been seized, there is very little we can do at that stage. We need to know what the police are alleging and how they intend to progress the matter before we can give you useful information.
If we don’t answer the phone, we may be helping another dog owner. Please leave us a message and we will get back to you, or contact us through WhatsApp, Facebook or Email.
Deed Not Breed is a voluntary organisation dedicated to helping owners and their dogs affected by breed-specific legislation and dog law.
We provide information, and support to dog owners who find themselves facing issues with the law, including dogs that have been seized or are at risk of being seized.
Our aim is to help owners understand their rights and responsibilities and to ensure that dogs and their owners receive fair treatment.
Understanding the law can be difficult, particularly when you are worried about your dog.
Our website contains information about the laws affecting dogs and their owners, including the Dangerous Dogs Act, Breed Specific Legislation, dog control, microchipping and other areas of dog law.
We also provide information to help owners understand what may happen if their dog becomes involved with the authorities.
We provide information to help dog owners understand what they may need to do when dealing with issues involving their dog and the authorities.
This includes information about court proceedings, preparing for court, what happens after court, muzzle training, dog behaviour and body language, and keeping your dog safe.
We also provide information about issues such as dog bites, dogs and livestock, lost or stolen dogs, fireworks and other situations that can affect dogs and their owners.
Downloadable information and resources to help dog owners understand their rights, responsibilities and the laws affecting dogs.
