Tender Description

In accordance with section 149 of the Environmental Protection Act 1990, Cheshire East Council has a statutory requirement to deal with stray dogs within the borough. The council currently takes in stray dogs to Acorn Kennels, Whitchurch for the statutory 7 day period. After this time 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 dogs and to arrange suitable rehoming of dogs where an owner does not come forward within the statutory period. It is also intended that the contract will include the provision of a Dog Warden Service as required by the Council.
