Tender Description

The council must take in stray docs for the statutory 7-day period, after which time the dogs become the property of the kennels and are available for re-homing.

This contract is aimed at the provision of kennelling for the statutory 7-day period to allow owners to collect their dogs and to arrange suitable rehoming of dogs where an owner does not come forward within the statutory period. The contract will also require cover to be provided for the Council Dog Warden Service.
