Article 11 Rehoming organisations – change of premisesI1

This Article applies where a rehoming organisation has obtained a certificate of exemption and relocates the dog to which the certificate relates from the premises referred to in the certificate to other premises occupied by the holder for any reason other than an emergency.

The rehoming organisation may apply to the district council to vary the certificate of exemption within 28 days of the date of relocation.

An application under paragraph (2) must contain such particulars, be in such form and be accompanied by such evidence as the district council may reasonably require.

On receipt of an application under paragraph (2), the district council may vary the certificate of exemption if satisfied that the dog to which the certificate relates, continues to be owned and cared for by the rehoming organisation.

When the district council approves the variation of a certificate of exemption, the district council must issue a replacement certificate.
