I don't advise "catching" the dogs yourself. Stray or lost dogs are often anxious and scared, and a leash or stranger holding them back may only increase their anxiety. I suggest calling your local rescue organization first. They know best how to approach animals and can scan take the dogs to a vet to scan for a microchip. Many also have no kill policies and wonderful foster homes on hand for those dogs without a home. If you are unable to locate local rescue organizations, I suggest contacting animal control. Often dog owners go to animal control when looking for lost pets. The experience there can be mixed depending on your location, which is why I suggest rescue orgs first. Good luck!
