The brief

Shepway District Council (\"the Council\") has a duty under s.149 and s.150 of the Environmental Protection Act 1990 (EPA) to appoint an officer \"for the purpose of discharging the functions for dealing with stray dogs found in the area of the authority\".

To do this, the Council requires the services of a boarding kennel for the care of any stray dogs seized.

The Council's appointed officer(s) will be responsible for collecting, transporting and returning strays.

The kennel is asked to provide care to any strays received from the Council until the dog is returned to its owner (normally within 7 days).

The kennel is also asked to take ownership of any unclaimed dog until the kennel is able to rehome the animal.
