Kozhikode Corporation to hold dog adoption camp on November 29

The puppies, being taken care of at the ABC Centre, have been vaccinated

The Kozhikode Corporation is getting ready for its first dog adoption camp on November 29.

“For a long time, people have been dropping off puppies from the street at our ABC Centre at Poolakkadavu. Some people have chosen to adopt them right from the centre after vaccination,” said health standing committee chairperson S. Jayasree. She said the recent High Court directive on those lines had led the civic body to set up an adoption camp.

The camp will be held at Tagore Centenary Hall, from where people can adopt the vaccinated puppies. “This is a lot better than letting them grow up on the street among dangerous dogs. And this is all we can do until we have a better plan to rehabilitate them,” said Ms. Jayasree.
