Stray dogs are looked after by Barra Boarding Kennels, Parkgate Road, Chester. (Tel:01244 880837)

The best time to call is between 2pm and 4pm including weekends (although viewing may end earlier at weekends or in the winter when it gets dark earlier).  The dogs cost £52 and a home check may be required.  The fee includes micro-chipping of the dog.  Kennel staff and proprietors will tell you all they know about any particular dog but cannot absolutely guarantee how a dog will behave once it is in a new home.  Dogs that have been kennelled for a while need some time and patience to adjust.  Training classes are a useful means of improving your new dog's behaviour.

All payments are effectively made to Chester City Council and cheques must be made out to the council, although all transactions take place at the kennels.  No dog can be released to their owners until all agreed fees have been paid (The Environmental Protection (Stray Dogs) Regulations 1992).  Unfortunately we cannot accept installments.
