Stray dog service

The request was successful.

Dear Bassetlaw District Council,

I am conducting research into animal welfare. If possible, please could you answer the following questions:

1. What is your policy on managing stray dogs in your local authority area?

2. How many stray dogs did your local authority take responsibility for each year between 2018-2020?
How many were then adopted?
How many went to animal rescue?
How many were euthanized?
What happened to any dogs who did not fall into the above categories

3. Of the dogs adopted or went to rescue please provide a breakdown year by year of the number of dogs to each organisation.

If my request is too wide ranging or you need further information please do not hesitate to ask

Yours faithfully,
Emma Sparkes

Melissa Bussey, Bassetlaw District Council

Dear Ms Sparkes

 

FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT 2000 - INFORMATION REQUEST ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

REFERENCE 310/21

 

Thank you for your request for information received on 11^th June 2021.

 

Your request is being considered and, subject to the points made below,
you will receive the information requested as promptly as possible within
the statutory timescale of 20 working days as defined by the Freedom of
Information Act 2000.

 

If we need to obtain more information from you in order to understand what
information you require, we will contact you. If this is the case, the 20
day time limit will not commence until your request has been clarified.

 

The Act defines a number of exemptions that may prevent release of certain
information.  Bassetlaw District Council will consider whether any of
these exemptions apply and, where required by the Act, whether it is in
the public interest to release the information.  If we have to make a
public interest test, the 20 day time limit might be extended. We will
inform you if the time scale has to be extended and if any information is
withheld and of your rights of appeal.

 

Bassetlaw District Council would like to make you aware that disclosure of
information obtained through FOIA is a disclosure into the public domain.

 

The District Council’s standard approach is to provide the information in
the form in which we hold it.  If you require alternative formats, e.g.
audio, large print, etc. or a different language, please let me know and
we will provide it if reasonably practicable to do so. If your request is
a question and we do not hold the answer in recorded form we will try and
provide an answer where we are able unless it requires the creation of new
information.

 

There may be a fee payable for this information request and we will send
you a Fees Notice if this is the case. Any fee must be paid before the
request is provided.  The time between the issue of the Fees Notice and
receipt of payment is excluded from the calculation of the 20 working day
time limit.

 

Any personal information you provide in relation to this request will only
be used for the purposes of processing your request for information.

 

If you have any queries or concerns then please contact The Central
Freedom of Information Officer, Bassetlaw District Council, Queen’s
