[Haenam＝Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Hyun] Haenam-gun, Jeollanam-do (Governor Myeong Hyun-gwan) is operating a voluntary pet registration reporting period until the end of September, strengthening resident publicity to promptly complete dog registration.

According to the county on the 4th, pets subject to registration are dogs over 2 months old raised in houses, quasi-houses, or other places for companion purposes.

If you newly register your pet or report any changes in the existing registered information during the voluntary reporting period, fines for unregistered or unreported cases will be exempted.

Pet registration can be done at designated agencies (Haenam Animal Hospital, Hana Animal Hospital, Yangwonju Animal Hospital), and reporting changes such as address or phone number, other than ownership changes, can be done online through the Animal Protection Management System without a visit.

After the voluntary reporting period ends, intensive enforcement is scheduled to begin in October. If you fail to register a pet subject to registration or fail to report changes in registered information, a fine of up to 600,000 KRW will be imposed.

A county official said, “We will actively promote so that pet owners who have not yet registered during the voluntary reporting period can register without omission,” and added, “The best way to love dogs is to prevent loss through the registration system and manage them systematically. We ask dog owners not to forget and to register within the voluntary reporting period.”
