Understand the right understanding of dog protection and housekeeping operations
Accidents involving dogs occur all over the country every year. If there is a report from residents that there is a dog that is released, the Health and Welfare Center and the Animal Protection Center will protect and accommodate the dog. This task is important to prevent rabies and dog bite accidents, and to protect dogs from traffic accidents. Unfortunately, however, staff engaged in these tasks may sometimes be criticized or discriminatory statements or responses as if they were doing terrible things. That makes the staff very much hurt. We ask that you understand that it is a task for everyone to live a safe and comfortable life with peace of mind.
