Stray Dog Footprint Achievers 2011

The Stray Dog Footprint aims to recognise those local authorities who have clear procedures in place that ensure both the welfare of the dogs and a consistency of service.

Additionally it also recognises the importance of information and education and rewards authorities who actively promote schemes and services that may reduce the number of long-term strays and straying in the first instance, such as microchipping and neutering.

In 2011, entries for this footprint were impressive once again with a whopping 41 local authorities in England and Wales achieving gold footprints.

With the continued cost savings local authorities are facing,the aim for 2012 will be to maintain the level of services the achieving local authorites are providing and help some of them to progress to silver or gold.
