After 48 hours, cases where no one comes to claim will be transferred to the receiving unit for handling according to regulations.

Leaving the dog alone in public places may be warned or fined from 500,000 VND to 1 million VND. In case of not vaccinating against rabies, it will be fined from 1-2 million VND.
In Tan Dong Hiep ward, the Ward People's Committee also organized a campaign to handle the situation of stray dogs and cats in the area to strengthen the management of pets, ensure environmental sanitation, urban aesthetics and prevent unsafe risks for people.
In the process of implementation, functional forces of Tan Dong Hiep ward propagate and mobilize households to raise awareness in managing pets. Practice chaining, locking up or keeping dogs and cats in the family's premises. When taking dogs to public places, they must wear muzzles, have rope and have a manager.
