This is to realize animal welfare together with citizens by reducing the number of abandoned animals euthanized through the promotion of adopting abandoned animals protected in animal shelters.

The congratulatory gift is a companion animal adoption kit worth about 200,000 KRW, consisting of organic feed and snacks, a carrier (cage), a cushion, and more.

The support target is Jeongeup citizens who adopt abandoned dogs from the Jeongeup City animal shelter.

The application period is a total of five months until September 30, and applicants can visit the animal shelter in person to proceed with the abandoned animal adoption process and receive the adoption gift.

The city is implementing various projects for companion animal welfare, such as free support for animal registration fees and support for abandoned animal adoption fees, by allocating its own budget.

A city official said, “This project will not only improve awareness of the abandoned animal adoption culture but also greatly help the welfare of abandoned dogs. We will spare no administrative efforts and support to create a city where people and companion animals are happy together.”
