The Municipal Corporation, in collaboration with various NGOs working for the well-being of animals, is planning to launch a drive aimed at encouraging people to adopt dogs from streets. In this proposed drive, people will be made aware of the advantages of adopting stray dogs over pedigreed dogs. Besides, the MC is also planning to vaccinate these dogs shortly. Of late, stray dogs have been affected by two diseases, canine distemper and parvovirus diarrhea, in the city. The MC and these NGOs are also planning to go to schools to educate children about stray dogs
