Gyeonggi Province Governor Kim Dong-yeon announced the opening of the pet complex cultural space ‘Banryeomaru’ through his social networking service (SNS).

On the 11th, Governor Kim said on SNS, "'AniWel', a Gyeonggi Province-style pet policy where people and animals are happy together," and explained, "In a society where animals are happy, people can also be happy, which is Gyeonggi Province's vision for animal welfare."

He continued, "‘Banryeomaru’, which was a temporary shelter for puppies rescued from a breeding farm in Hwaseong last September, officially opens today," and added, "I hope it becomes not only a healing space for existing pet households but also a place where new families meet families."

Earlier, Gyeonggi Province set goals to achieve an 80% animal registration rate and a 50% adoption rate of abandoned animals by 2026 to create a ‘Gyeonggi where people and animals are happy together.’ It also decided to establish 60 pet-friendly spaces.

To this end, Gyeonggi Province prepared a Gyeonggi-style pet welfare policy with the vision of ‘Realizing AniWel, a Gyeonggi where people and animals are happy together,’ through a process of collecting opinions such as resident surveys and expert meetings.

AniWel is the policy name (brand name) symbolizing Gyeonggi Province's pet policy.
