"Don't Worry If You Lose Your Pet During Seol Holiday"

Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs Operates Rescue Team in Collaboration with Animal Protection Center

The Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs announced on the 31st that it will operate rescue teams linked with animal protection centers to thoroughly rescue lost and abandoned animals during the Lunar New Year holiday (February 9th to February 12th).

If you lose a pet, you can create a post with the animal's photo and the location where it was lost through the banner ('Animal Lost') on the National Animal Protection Information System.

Real-time information sharing with finders is also possible through the comment function on the posts.

If the animal has been registered in advance, the registration information can be verified using the internal or external chip number for a swift return, so animals not yet registered should be registered before the holiday period.

If you find a lost or abandoned animal wandering in the nearby area, you can access the National Animal Protection Information System, click the banner ('Animal Found') on the right side of the website, and report the location, type of animal, and upload photos.

For rapid rescue, this information is automatically sent via text message to the local government rescue personnel.

Meanwhile, following the last Chuseok holiday, the government will also post information about 'emergency animal hospitals operating during the holiday period' on the official Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs website and the National Animal Protection Information System. Approximately 450 animal hospitals will continue to operate during this Lunar New Year holiday.
