We patrol the district to identify and seize
stray dogs, these dogs are held and the owners (if known) are
informed. Community Wardens pick up stray dogs, and deal with
issues of dog fouling and dog barking.
The Council will never destroy a dog, unless a
vet recommends that the animal is suffering, can't be operated upon
or medicated, and needs to be put out of its misery. The Council's
policy is that stray dogs are rehomed or passed onto local rehoming
charities.
We also aim to reduce
fouling
and raise awareness of legislation and promoting responsible dog
ownership within the district.
