Description

The provision of Dog Kennelling and Pet Boarding Services is a a necessary and statutory offer within Adult Social Care. As part of the Authority’s duty under the Environmental Protection Act 1990, where the Authority cannot identify a stray dog’s owner or cannot return the dog, it is then taken to contracted kennels to be looked after for up to the seven clear days from the seizure. As part of the Authority’s duty under the Care Act 2014, the Authority has a duty to take reasonable steps to prevent or mitigate the loss or damage to an adult’s property where: • The adult is being cared for in hospital or in accommodation such as a care home, and, • it appears to a local authority that there is a danger of loss or damage to moveable property (including pets) of the adults in the authority’s area because either; the adult is unable (whether permanently or temporarily) to protect or deal with the property and no suitable arrangements have been or are being made.
