TAIWAN SPCA featured in ANIMAL PEOPLE MAGAZINE!

Animal People article

While Merritt Clifton (reporter for Animal People Magazine) came to Taiwan in January, the Taiwan SPCA took him around to visit various shelters in Taipei city and Taipei county. Based on Animal People's shelter check and points list, 5 different shelters were rated based on shelter conditions, adoption rates, state of the animals, etc. It is an important step for Taiwan to start assessing and improving shelter environments for stray animals as currently we are not yet up to international standards.
