The New Taipei City Animal Protection and Health Inspection Office issued a press release today stating that some animals in animal shelters require long-term observation and care due to old age or chronic diseases. The public often has concerns when adopting them, resulting in lower adoption chances. However, most of these furry babies have stable temperaments and are gentle with people, making them very suitable as companion family members.
The Animal Protection Office stated that to increase the adoption chances for these senior and special-care dogs and cats, it has established a "Long-term Care Dog and Cat List" (https://reurl.cc/6G0GjV). It provides lifetime medical care support after adoption, with medical services provided by the furry baby medical centers or animal shelters under the Animal Protection Office. Owners may also take them to private veterinary clinics for further treatment, but that is not covered by the subsidy.
The Office pointed out that dogs and cats can live up to 15 to 20 years. As they age, chronic diseases and degenerative problems gradually emerge. Besides providing necessary medical assistance, the Office will also provide mobility aids (such as PVC pipe wheelchairs) based on individual needs to support the adopting families.
In addition, anyone who adopts a furry child from the list will not only receive activity discounts such as mobility aids and dog training, but also get "Six Great Gifts for Adopting Adult Dogs in New Taipei" and lifetime medical care support. Through the support of public sector resources, these furry babies who need long-term care can regain the chance to be loved. (Editor: Lung Po-an) 1150410
