- impounding stray dogs
- containing dangerous or banned breeds of dogs with the police
- returning stray dogs to their owners
- collecting unwanted dogs
- boarding establishment inspections
- behavioural/training advice
- micro-chipping
- home checking prospective new homes for rescue dogs
- school educational talks
- attending fetes and open days
- prosecutions for dangerous dogs, abandonment and dog fouling
- participating in awareness days with the Dogs Trust, RSPCA and PDSA
