Add a mandatory hold period to dog ownership relinquishing disclaimers

Petition Details

We want the Government to add a mandatory hold period to the use of dog ownership relinquishing disclaimers by the police, where a dog has been seized. A mandatory hold period could let owners seek legal advice.

Additional Information

We are worried that people sign dog ownership relinquishing disclaimers too readily because they are scared. We believe they should have time to seek advice. We think a mandatory hold period should be in place so advice can be sought before police can take ownership of a dog using such a disclaimer, as this often leads to a dog being put down.
