Last year the council's dog wardens rounded up 500 strays, putting down 54 for a variety of reasons including age, temperament and illness.
Canine animal welfare group Dogs Trust said the number of strays in the UK last year dropped below 100,000 for the first time.
In North Lincolnshire last year, 196 of the 500 strays were reclaimed, 174 were sold, 66 were given away and nine were returned to their owners as found.
Stephen Coulman, North Lincolnshire Council's environmental health manager, insisted the figures were not on a steep curve.
