While many people adore furry four-legged creatures, not everyone is able to raise one in their home.

“You Adopt, I Raise” (您領我養) is a program introduced in 2005 by Huang Ching-jung (黃慶榮), a former secretary-general of the Animal Protection Association. It has since helped thousands of strays.
As a veterinarian who has long promoted animal protection, Huang said that one day he had the idea that “if there are people who can raise animals for those who wish to but are unable, then a win-win situation could be created.”
Under the program, adopters make small donations on a regular basis to people who raise the dogs for them. [FULL STORY]
