COPELAND Council is continuing its good work with a local kennels to rehome stray dogs.
The authority has, in the last year, managed to return or rehome all but one of the 133 stray dogs rescued by its officers. Of the remainder, 64 dogs were reunited with their owners and 68 were found new homes.
Copeland works with Whinmill Kennels in Harrington to ensure strays are taken to a caring environment and then kept until a home can be found for them. Only in the most extreme circumstances is a dog put to sleep.
