"Don't Buy Pets, Adopt Them~"

On the 11th, Gangdong Reborn Center Hosts First New Year's Adoption Event for Abandoned Animals... 121 Lost and Abandoned Dogs Found Families Through Gangdong-gu Reborn Center in 2019

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] Gangdong-gu (Mayor Lee Jeong-hoon) will hold the first pet adoption ceremony of the new year 2020 at 10:30 a.m. on the 11th at the Gangdong Reborn Center (73, Yangjaedaero 81-gil, Gangdong-gu).

The Gangdong Reborn Center, a cafe-style abandoned animal adoption facility that opened nationwide for the first time in November 2017, delivered 59 lost dogs to their owners and found new families and homes for 62 abandoned dogs over the past year.

At this year's first adoption ceremony held on the 11th, two abandoned dogs are expected to be embraced by new families.

Abandoned dogs protected at the Gangdong Reborn Center undergo basic physical examinations, vaccinations, and animal registration before being adopted by families wishing to adopt.

Any adult resident can adopt an abandoned dog, and prospective adopters go through a consultation and a designated reflection period. After adoption, they can participate free of charge in the "Post-Adoption Education," where professional trainers provide knowledge and information necessary for raising companion dogs.

Lee Jeong-hoon, Mayor of Gangdong-gu, said, "We are establishing animal welfare infrastructure and promoting various projects to create a culture where humans and animals live together." He added, "We deeply appreciate the residents' interest and affection for this and will continue to promote animal welfare administration that resonates with the residents."
