Dogs4Us is a pet shop with branches in Leeds and Manchester. Dogs4Us sells puppies that they purchase from cruel, confined facilities known as "puppy farms" where dogs are kept in windowless sheds without light, heat or human contact. Dogs4Us have been exposed on Channel 5, Sky News, BBC and in the national/local press.

We are calling on Salford and Leeds Councils who license Dogs4Us - to close Dogs4Us and end the sale of puppies in pet shops in their areas.

The Decision Makers

David Lancaster
David Lancaster
Lead Member for Environment and Community Safety, Salford Council
Responded
“Dear petition starter and petitioners, I acknowledge the petition and the support it is receiving. Both Individually and as a Council we abhor any cruelty to animals. The council has recently carried out a full review of the conditions imposed on licensed pet shops within its area, including Dogs4Us, and has tightened the rules for such businesses significantly in order to better protect the welfare of animals, improve the records kept so that animals can be traced and to ensure that shops do not sell animals that are too young. Although the City Council takes all complaints regarding the welfare of animals seriously neither it or the RSPCA have received any complaints regarding the treatment of animals by Dogs4Us that have been substantiated. In this case we are bound by statutory requirements in relation to the decisions we have to make regarding the operation of this facility and have discharged that role. The introduction of a wider ban on the third party sales of puppies and other animals would require a change in the law and, as such , would be a matter for the Government rather than something the Council could deal with. Kind Regards David Lancaster Lead Member for Environmental Services and Community Safety”
