Stray Dog Policy and Practice

The request was successful.

Dear Fenland District Council,

Please can you tell me the following:

1. The name/s and address/es of the establishment/s to which dogs are taken when found to be straying in your area.

2. Who makes the decisions about what will happen to stray dogs when the statutory 7 days for them to be held has expired and the Council is no longer financially responsible for them - the kennels
owner/management, the Council's Dog Warden or another person? And if another person, who would that be?

3. Is there a cut-off point at which stray dogs are no longer the property of the Council but become the property of the establishment in which they are being held? If so, what is that cut-off point.

4. Is there any directive, either written or verbal, formal or informal, from the Council or any of its employees on what should happen to stray dogs handed in to the pound once those dogs have reached or gone past the 7 days in which the Council must by law arrange and provide for their care?

Yours faithfully,

M Holmes

Fenland District Council
