Dog wardens have a range of responsibilities and duties, primarily focused on enforcing dog-related laws, promoting responsible pet ownership, and ensuring the welfare of animals. Their duties include dealing with stray dogs, enforcing dog-related legislation, and investigating reports of animal cruelty. They are also responsible for promoting responsible dog ownership and liaising with other agencies.

In addition to these duties, dog wardens are tasked with investigating all dog-related issues and providing advice on welfare and responsible ownership, such as neutering and micro-chipping. They are also responsible for collecting stray dogs and ensuring they are properly cared for, which may involve impounding them and attempting to locate their owners.
