How dogs did this council euthanise?

The request was partially successful.

Rachel Schofield

Dear Northumberland County Council,

Under the Freedom of Information Act 2000, please would you provide me with the following information regarding dog euthanasia statistics:

How many dogs have been euthanised in 2024 so far by this council?
How many dogs have been euthanised each year since 2014 by this council?

If you do not record the actual number of dogs euthanised, please provide your best estimates based on correlated figures - such as, but not limited to, veterinary invoices, the amount of pentobarbital purchased/administered, body disposal costs, etc.

Yours faithfully,
Rachel Schofield
