The male and female pair were picked up by wardens on March 7 near Muckley Corner.

Both were wearing black harnesses and were microchipped.

Anyone with information about the owners is asked to call Lichfield District Council on 01543 308725.

A number of dogs are not claimed by their owners each year in Lichfield. The council displays the details of all the dogs that are found in the area on their website.

The council takes all of the lost dogs to kennels in Coven where they wait for their owners to claim them. However, if the dog is not claimed after seven days, anyone can come forward to offer it a good home. If you are interested in giving one of the dogs a home contact Sunnyside Kennels on 01902 790618.
