Practical tools and resources

On this page you will find a selection of resources that aim to provide guidance on the practical tools required for humane dog population management.  These documents are written by individual members of the ICAM Coalition and reflect the views of those individual members and not necessarily of the entire Coalition, however all members of the Coalition have approved that these documents should be made available through this site.

We hope that you find these a useful supply of practical solutions to accompany the concepts and approaches described in the Humane Dog Population Management Guidance. We plan to add to this area of the website with further resources that offer practical guidance and are happy to receive any documents that you feel will fulfill this purpose.
