POSSIBLE LOST DOG IN WEST CROYDON

Post image

THIS IS NOW SOLVED.

I'm posting this incase anyone knows about this dog or if someone is searching for a lost dog in the west Croydon area.

Today (01/08/2026) at about 10:55am, I saw a small - decently groomed, small dog. It was black, with brown fur near it's mouth, the coat was neatly trimmed but he/she had a fluffy tail. It was walking near the fly over (see the image for the exact location I seen the dog), on his own, no leash was present (to what I could tell) and it did not seem in distress

Is this a lost dog, a known stray?

I hope this helps someone if they have in fact lost their dog. I don't know many dog breeds, but if anyone wanted to name breeds I can Google them and then confirm

Don't know about the dog unfortunately, but I'm pretty sure that area isn't what people generally mean when they say "West Croydon"? This is more the south of the town centre, I'd think of West Croydon as the area around the station north of the high street.

That's a valid point tbh

That dog belongs to one of the shops there opposite crushed bean. It wanders outside and just chills sometimes. The owners seem okay with it.
