One of Irkutsk city kennels staff announced the start of action under the motto "No stray dogs in Dog?s New Year".
The citizens, who find homeless dogs, call them and they take the animals to special kennel. The dogs are provided with enclosure, food and medical care. Some of them even undergo surgery if necessary.
The employees of the kennel hope that in the year of 2006, which symbol, according to Chinese calendar is Dog, each homeless dog, no matter a mongrel or a thoroughbred one, will find a new home and friends. First attained results live up these expectations. Half of about a hundred received dogs have been already taken by city citizens.
The action, planned for New Year?s and Christmas holiday, has been decided to be prolonged by the end of the year.
