Dog Wardens

We are responsible for dealing with stray dogs and the we employ a full-timedog warden, who promotes responsible dog ownership. The warden makes patrols throughout Wychavon district and can issue fixed penalty dog fouling notices to dog owners who allow their pets to foul public land. Our warden picks up stray dogs and takes them to our kennels for safe keeping until they are reclaimed by their owners or re-homed.
