Petition to help improve Birkenhead Council Kennels

Despite the hard work of the Council Kennel staff, the conditions that lost or abandoned dogs are kept in are extremely poor and the dogs are kept there with no exercise for weeks on end. The conditions would be massively improved by:

Creating a 'run', where dogs can be exercised.

Fitting new gates to the kennels to let the dogs feel less isolated.

Windows in the roof of the kennels, to allow daylight. At present, there are no windows apart from a couple of small outside pens for bigger dogs.

Warm bedding. The kennels are made of cold grey concrete, and though they are kept clean and washed regularly, they are often cold and damp.

How about a regular spot in the local paper, listing the dogs that need new homes?

Surely it can't take too much money to make some small changes that would make a massive difference to these li'l guys!  Wouldn't it be great if between us we could give the dogs a place to stay in comfort whilst waiting for a new loving family?
