Dog Control Orders: what are your experiences?

I'm being a speedy blogger today (all that time on Twitter must count for something after all!), as this afternoon I'll be getting a chance to visit one of our newest centres in Harefield, West London. As a relative newbie to Dogs Trust (one month yesterday!), it's a wonderful opportunity to see what we at HQ are supporting. On a daily basis, our dedicated volunteers across the country rescue, rehome, neuter, microchip and care for many dogs, with over 16,000 passing through our doors in the last year alone.
It would be wonderful to see this number decrease, of course. As with all charities, we seek the day we can put ourselves out of a job! Until then, though, it's heartening to know that we're expanding and able to deal with more and more of the estimated 100,000+ stray dogs in the UK and offer them an escape from the euthanasia policies of many organisations.
