Every night, when walking along the Bijiang River in Shunde Country Garden, you will always see pedestrians walking dogs. Holding a rope and a stack of newspapers in hand is the standard equipment for everyone when walking their dogs. The concept of "civilized dog raising" has been deeply rooted in the community. However, in the early years, there was always pressure on pet management due to the large community and large population. "In the past, some pet owners were not very conscious, and there were still many situations where they were not led and cleaned." The property management personnel of the community recalled, "There is also abandoning pets, people move, and their pet dogs are not taken away. Become a stray dog."
Owners take their pets to participate in the "Civilized Dog Raising Initiative" organized by Shunde Country Garden.
In order to create a good environment for pets, the community property of Shunde Country Garden regularly promotes civilized dog raising and distributes dog leashes for free. , Encourage owners to register and gradually raise the awareness of pet owners. The community also arranges personnel and vehicle patrols every day to bring the suspected stray dogs without leashes back to the property management center for registration, and then notify the owners to claim them. In addition to the careful management of property management personnel, a spontaneous "team" of stray dogs has also appeared in the community. The leader is a 70-year-old man. Thanks to the joint efforts of everyone, there have been fewer stray dogs in recent years.
7 The special "loving" of the elderly
Every time a guest visits, the Bichon Frise "Lat Lak" always greets the first one and jumps around the guests. Few people can tell that "Lai Lai" is 17 years old. The Bichon Frise can generally live for 12 to 15 years. The "Latla" is still alive and kicking at such an advanced age, thanks to the care of Guan Bo and his wife, Aunt Xie. After retirement, the old couple spends half of their time every day taking care of the 6 puppies at home. Before
met the old couple, these puppies were all abandoned stray dogs. "When they were brought back, they were very weak and injured and sick. Taking care of them cost a lot of money." They complained, but Guan Bo and Aunt Xie never treated these dogs badly.
In 2014, Uncle Guan’s daughter-in-law picked up an injured poodle with her hind leg drooping, and she leaned on her front leg to drag her body forward a little bit. When a person approaches, it froze there, motionless. In addition to healing his injuries, Guan Bo also takes him for a walk every day for rehabilitation. After a long time, the little poodle can go, and wherever Guan Bo goes, he will follow wherever he goes, becoming the most clingy one. The family named him "Strong". "It has changed a lot, even people's eyes are different." Guan Bo said.
The 14-year-old QQ is so old that he can only eat liquid food. Aunt Xie cooks lean meat and rice porridge every day. "Come on, eat." In the evening, Aunt Xie sat on the balcony, gently hugged the dog in her arms, and fed it spoon by spoon, chatting with it while feeding. In Aunt Xie's heart, she had long regarded the dogs as family members, "When I chose to raise him, we must accompany him to the end." Aunt Xie said firmly.
uses adoption instead of purchase to make life no longer stray.
Because of adopting stray dogs, Guan Bo and Aunt Xie's family became celebrities in the community, and many people came to ask for "dog raising experience." From the basic knowledge of holding a dog on a leash, wearing a bark stopper in the morning and evening, to practical exercises on how to comfort and train dogs, Guan Bo taught his neighbors little by little, and he became a "civilized dog raising" science popularizer. Uncle Guan said that he himself was a little cautious, "Many people see that I have walked more dogs and want to buy them home, so I always say not to buy them. I have to adopt them. After I bring them home, I must not abandon them."
slow Slowly, Guan Bo's concept of "adoption instead of purchase" has gradually been accepted by more community owners.
Ms. Li, who lives in Spring Liyuan District, Country Garden, Shunde, has always had concerns about adopting stray dogs. It was not until 2 months ago that she made up her mind. "I'm worried that stray dogs are unhealthy and difficult to raise, but Guan Bo has always encouraged me. To give those abandoned dogs a new home, I think this matter is very meaningful." Miss Li said.
The Country Garden Community Pet Month ended not long ago. The community and the local neighborhood committee invited the animal epidemic prevention station to come to the door to register dogs for free, vaccinate against rabies, and issue dog immunization certificates. Next, the property housekeeper will occasionally invite professional pet trainers to teach for free and organize dog owners to share their experiences. I believe that through everyone’s efforts, the community’s pet environment will become more and more harmonious.
