Recently, a two-year-old was horribly attacked by an unleashed rottweiler in Chongzhou City in Sichuan. Surveillance footage of the event showed the dog wandering alone in the residential compound for roughly a minute before attacking a mother and a toddler who were on their way to kindergarten. The attack lasted around 40 seconds before someone was able to intervene and chase the dog away. The toddler sustained severe injuries to her right kidney and ribs but thankfully her vitals remain stable. Cities all over the country have been cracking down on unleashed and unregistered dogs. So be sure to have your dog on a leash when you’re out for a walk, even if it’s inside your compound, and be sure to have your pet officially registered.

As shared in various animal rescue WeChat groups, in Beijing, this week the city will be focusing on regulating dogs in public areas. The enforcement standards are as follows:

1. **Undocumented Dogs:** All dogs found without proper documentation will be impounded and cannot be reclaimed.

2. **Dogs With Certificates:** Owners of medium and large dogs with valid certificates can redeem their pets by paying a fine. It is crucial to maintain a cooperative attitude during this process and not engage in disputes with law enforcement.

3. **Strong Dogs:** Even if you possess a certificate, strong dogs cannot be redeemed.

For the safety and welfare of medium and large dogs, we advise communities with suitable facilities to relocate them to designated boarding/yards. In cases where this is not possible, dog owners should adhere to the following regulations:

– Walking your dog is permitted only during specific hours at your residence: before 6 o’clock in the morning, from 12 noon to 1 o’clock, and after 11 o’clock at night when it’s relatively safe.

We kindly request that you inform your fellow dog owners about these new regulations and encourage compliance. We wish you and your dogs the best of luck during this period.

What You Will Need For Your Dog’s Registration

• Your dog – If you live within the 5th Ring Road you may have to present your dog during registration. This is different depending on your local Public Security Bureau or Pai Chu Suo. Confirm in advance whether you need to bring your dog along for the registration process.
• Photos – You will also need two one-inch front-facing headshots (i.e. passport size photos) that show your dog’s image from the neck up. It must also have a white background.
• Your original identification documents – These include your passport and your foreign household registration document obtained at the PSB and used to extend your visa in China.
• Since dogs are registered to a household address and not to the owner’s passport, you will also need to bring along your lease agreement for a rented property or a property deed if you own your own home.
• You will also need to present permission from your neighborhood watch committee or Ju Wei Hui, or the management agent. This depends on the requirements of the community supervisory committee within your district.
• Money (Cash) – If you are doing an initial registration then you will need a fee of RMB 1,000 and a fee of RMB 500 for your annual registration renewals. This is the fee in the eight major districts within the city and might be lower in the areas outside these districts like Shunyi, Pinggu, Changping, Tongzhou, Huairoumu, and Miyun.

There are hundreds of animals hoping to find loving homes in Beijing. If you are considering adopting a pet, Doggy/Moggy of the Week will feature animals from volunteer shelters, animal rescue groups, foster care providers, and pet owners needing to rehome animals. This week’s puppy, Hua Hua, is from ICVS’ Adoptable Pets.

Introduction: Hi everyone, my name is Darla.

Background: My momma was a pregnant stray dog who was rescued by a very kind lady. After mom was rescued, she gave birth to 5 puppies. Unfortunately, our mom got sick two-weeks after we were born so my siblings and I had to leave our mom at a very young age. Our rescuer took us home and nursed us with puppy milk until we were strong enough to eat on our own. We all received our check-ups and have started vaccinations at ICVS. I am now one of the first puppies in our litter who is ready to be adopted!

Personality: I am a fun, curious, playful, energetic puppy. I am good with other dogs and children (I have never met a cat, but I am sure I would like them and become quick friends with them). I am beginning to explore my world and am excited to find my forever family so I can share all my discoveries with them.

Ideal home: I would be happy with an individual, a couple, or a family with children with or without other pets. My family must be ready for the responsibilities of adopting a young puppy and with toilet training and obedience training which will both be essential in helping me become housebroken and socialized. Everyone in the household must agree on having a young puppy as a new family member. I must be spayed after I complete all of my puppy vaccinations and must relocate with my family when departing China.

Breed, Sex & Age: I am a small, mixed breed female puppy and am 2-months old. I have white fur with one brown ear.

Medical notes: I am healthy and have been dewormed and treated for fleas and ticks. I have already started her vaccinations at ICVS.

Post-adoption care: The International Center for Veterinary Services (ICVS) has enrolled me into their Rescued/Stray/Rehomed Pet Adoption Benefits Program. ICVS will provide my new family with significant discounts (up to 50%) on my vaccinations, accompanying examinations, and spay surgery during my first year of life with my new family.

Official Vaccination Certificate: With my rabies vaccination, ICVS will issue my new family the official Beijing Animal Health and Immunity Certificate (e.g., vaccination red book) at no charge. I need the official vaccination red book to prove I have been legally and properly vaccinated for rabies in order to move another city or leave China with my family.

Official Spay/Neuter Certificate for Dogs: After my spay surgery, ICVS will issue my new family the official Spay/Neuter Certificate that will provide my owner with a 50% discount (e.g., up to RMB 500 savings) on the dog license registration fee at the Public Security Bureau.

Puppy and Adult Dog Obedience Training Programs at ICVS: ICVS has introduced new puppy and adult dog obedience training programs. The dog training classes will help my family and I live a more harmonious life together. All profits from the puppy and adult dog training programs will be donated to the ICVS Non-Profit Humane Animal Welfare Programs.

There are hundreds of animals hoping to find loving homes in Beijing. If you are considering adopting a pet, Doggy/Moggy of the Week will feature animals from volunteer shelters, animal rescue groups, foster care providers, and pet owners needing to rehome animals. This week’s puppy and kitten, MehMeh and FuFu, are from ICVS’ Adoptable Pets.

Intro: There are only a few things you ever need on YouTube to make yourself smile: tiny kittens and unlikely animal best friends. MehMeh and FuFu are a cat-dog couple that is just one click away from becoming a viral sensation, so make sure to snatch this adorable cuddle-combo as soon as you can.

Their story: As adorable as they are, their story makes this heartwarming couple even more special. MehMeh (dog) was kindly rescued from the streets after a horrific car accident she was lucky to survive, while FuFu (kitten) was brought to the same family only to become best friends with the doggy survivor. Clearly, it’s hard to see how you can ever tear these guys apart.

Their personality and breed: MehMeh is a shorthaired, small, female mixed breed dog with beautiful mask-like facial markings, and FuFu is a 4-month old male, shorthaired white kitten. Their color pairing is of course a complete coincidence, but it does make them all the more photogenic. They both have very lovely personalities and their favorite hobby is sleeping in embrace.  FuFu the kitten is particularly fond of MehMeh and even attempts to suckle on the pup, as FuFu considers MehMeh his mommy. So if you ever need proof that stereotypes are made to be broken – this couple could just be your perfect life companions.

Their health: MehMeh has already been spayed and has started on all vaccinations. FuFu is also incredibly healthy, ready to start vaccinations and is ready to go home with you as soon as you are ready to take them home!

Their requirements from you: Our only requirement from you is that you do not leave these guys in the same situations they were found in, and will take care of them even if you leave China. We would also really like for them to be adopted together, seeing how much they love each other.

Post-adoption care: The International Center for Veterinary Services (ICVS) has enrolled me into their Rescued/Stray/Rehomed Pet Adoption Benefits Program. ICVS will provide my new family with significant discounts (up to 50%) on my vaccinations, accompanying examinations, and spay surgery during my first year of life with my new family.

Official Vaccination Certificate: With my rabies vaccination, ICVS will issue my new family the official Beijing Animal Health and Immunity Certificate (e.g., vaccination red book) at no charge.

This week’s puppy, Fluffy, is from ICVS’ Adoptable Pets.

Name: Hello everyone, my name is Fluffy or 大白球(white fluffy ball) in Chinese!

Background: I was found wandering on the street on a rainy day in May. When my rescuer carried me to the nearest pet hospital, they discovered I was pregnant. My rescuer tried to find my owner, but feared I may have been abandoned because of my pregnancy. Soon after, I was settled intoa care center where I gave birth to my three lovely babies. After my pregnancy, I struggled to recover from a skin condition but thankfully I’m all cured. Now that all three of my babies have found loving homes, I’m hoping I’ll find my own loving forever home!

Personality: Fluffy is a ray of sunshine that can light your life no matter how stressed or sad you are. She always carries a smile and she enjoys tummy rubs and endless cuddles. When she was at a foster home, she would run to the beds of her foster family and start licking her foster mom’s face every morning. She’s great at picking up tricks when there’s food involved. She’s fully housetrained and usually after one or two walks she would remember the way home.

Ideal home: Fluffy would be happy with an individual, a couple or a family with children (e.g., 9 years and older).

Breed: Fluffy is a medium-sized Sheltie mix, with soft white hair and brown markings.

Sex and age: she’s a young female dog, about one and a half years old.

Medical notes: Fluffy has been treated for skin-related issues post-pregnancy but has recovered and is quite healthy. She has been dewormed and has started on vaccinations. She is ready for her spay surgery.

Post-adoption care: The International Center for Veterinary Services (ICVS) has enrolled me into their Rescued/Stray/Rehomed Pet Adoption Benefits Program. ICVS will provide my new family with significant discounts (up to 50%) on my vaccinations, accompanying examinations, and spay surgery during my first year of life with my new family.
