The municipality confirmed that its field teams are working to collect stray dogs and transfer them to a designated shelter, where veterinary care, food, and drink are available, noting that the operations to deal with them are carried out according to the approved humane methods, ensuring the reduction of risks that may result from the spread of stray dogs in residential areas, roads, and public places.

The municipality called on citizens and those interested in animal welfare issues to submit their observations and suggestions in a civilized and responsible manner, contributing to the development of mechanisms for dealing with stray dogs, while confirming that its doors are open to listen to different opinions and observations and discuss them within the legal and institutional frameworks.
