Uljin County Holds Launch Ceremony for 'Daengdaengi Family Volunteer Group' with Companion Dogs

No Plastic! Clean Up with Your Dog

Uljin County in North Gyeongsang Province held a kickoff ceremony and environmental cleanup activity at Yeonho Park on the 18th, marking the first step in volunteer work with companion dogs. The event was organized by the Uljin County Comprehensive Volunteer Center (Director Jang Taeyun).

Uljin County held a launching ceremony for the Dangdangi Family Volunteer Group with their pet dogs.

The launching ceremony signaled the start of the "No Plastic! Cleaning Up with Dogs" program, which was selected as an excellent volunteer program for 2024 by North Gyeongsang Province. Thirteen families of the "Dog Family Volunteer Group" attended the event.

The volunteer group walked around the Yeonhojeong area with their dogs, participating in environmental cleanup activities. They also promoted "petiquette" by encouraging immediate cleanup of pet waste and the use of leashes (harnesses) no longer than 2 meters.

County Governor Son Byungbok stated, "As we enter an era with ten million pet owners, Uljin County is invigorating awareness of companion dogs by launching a volunteer program involving them. I hope that, starting with this ceremony, various families will participate in volunteer work together, further vitalizing a healthy culture of volunteering in Uljin County."
