Incheon City Operates Nation's First Temporary Shelter for Dogs of COVID-19 Confirmed Patients
[Asia Economy Reporter Moon Hyewon] On the 19th, Incheon City announced that it will operate 10 temporary shelters nationwide for the first time, where pet dogs can be cared for if their owners are quarantined due to a confirmed case of COVID-19.
The procedure for using the temporary shelter is as follows: citizens who receive a quarantine notice for COVID-19 confirmation from the local health center submit an application form for temporary care of their pet dog. Then, the animal protection department of the relevant district or county takes custody of the pet dog and transfers it to the temporary shelter.
Pet dogs admitted to the shelter will be cared for temporarily until their owners are released from quarantine. The care cost is 35,000 KRW per day, and treatment costs may be added if any illness occurs during the stay.
