Yongin City Hosts Pet Festival After 3 Years

[Asia Economy (Yongin) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] Yongin City in Gyeonggi Province will hold a pet festival for the first time in three years.

Yongin City announced on the 22nd that it will hold the pet festival "Happy with Yongin City and Pets" at the City Hall Sky Plaza from 11 a.m. on the 27th.

The event is hosted by Yongin City and organized by the Non-Stray Dog City Association, with support from the Yongin Special City Council, Yongin Veterinary Association, Calvin University, Yongin Arts and Science University, Harim Pet Food, and iCOOP Natural Dream.

The event will focus on "petiquette," which is necessary for pets and people to coexist harmoniously.

Reflecting recent interest in stray animals, a "Stray Animal Adoption Campaign" will also be held. An adoption booth for stray animals will be operated at one side of the venue, and an adoption ceremony celebrating stray dogs finding new families will take place.

Various experience programs such as aroma deodorizer making, handmade snacks, and leash making, as well as dog behavior counseling and psychological counseling, will also be available.

In addition, a life-love drawing contest, a photo exhibition of stray cats including feeding stations and neutering promotion, will be held.

Yongin City will also hold a lucky draw, awarding the first prize winner with a pet-exclusive photo studio shooting voucher and pet supplies worth 200,000 won, including pet food and cushions.

A city official said, "We ask for much interest and participation in the pet festival held for the first time in three years," and added, "We will spare no support to establish a mature pet culture, including pet etiquette that considers everyone."
