More on Animal Welfare in Brent

Brent Council has a specific animal welfare department, which puts it ahead of neighbours such as Westminster and Barnet.  As the current Liberal Democrat/Tory government continues to strip away local government funding, non-statutory services such as animal welfare come under more and more pressure.  In the past year, Brent's animal welfare service has achieved:

• The microchipping of 28 dogs
• Six BARK patrols
• A dood to door survey of the Stonebridge estate (alongside Hillside Housing) to give advice around dog ownership
• Stalls to promote responsible dog ownership with partners like BHP
• A gold footprint award from the RSPCA for its procedures with stray dogs
