For stray dogs caught in response to complaints, AFCD endeavours to re-unite them with their owners. In order to reduce unwanted puppies, AFCD also encourages dog owners to neuter their dogs and has been providing free de-sexing services to dogs adopted through AFCD’s partnering Animal Welfare Organisations (AWOs). It urges members of the public to refrain from the impulsive purchase of pet animals, and also to have a lifelong commitment to their pets by taking care of them properly, keeping them under proper control and not abandoning them. In this connection, AFCD runs a continuous education and publicity programme to promote responsible pet ownership. The most effective way to reduce the stray dog population is to reduce stray dogs at source. The Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department (AFCD) has a statutory responsibility to manage the stray dog population to prevent rabies outbreaks, reduce nuisance caused by stray dogs, and safeguard public health and safety in Hong Kong. “Trap-Neuter-Return” Trial Programme for Stray Dogs
