This year, this plan will further combine with other network digital technologies, setting a real-time video supervisory system in the shelter of animals waiting to be adopted, which will allow adopters to contact with animals. Through this real-time video system, adopters can see the introduction of dogs and the environment. If adopters can get a better picture of animal shelter and animals, they will be much more willing to adopt one.
Besides the supply of adoption information, this yearˇ¦s working plan also includes information platform for searching lost animals, online animal hospitals, inquiries about animal protection acts and animal-related news. Moreover, activities such as ˇ§Keep a Diary for Your Dogˇ¨, targeted on elementary and junior high school students, will allow more and more people to understand public animal shelters and the idea of animal protection better.
