Regulate UK Animal Rescue and Rehoming Centres

Background

There is no law regulating animal rescue & rehoming centres in the UK. Literally, anyone can set them up (including rogue dog dealers & puppy farmers). Please provide legislation & standards for shelters to comply with and regulations for them to follow.

Additional details

Regulating rescue centres will help guarantee animals receive the quality of care promised. It will raise standards, promote best practice, build public trust, and safeguard people, animals, and organisations. It will also allow rogue rescues to be investigated if there are genuine concerns.
