China News Service, Shanghai, May 28 (Li Qiuying, Zhang Hengwei, Chen Congyao) "Okay, this is closed." On the afternoon of May 26, witnessed by reporters and volunteers, Zhai Jiang gave him the responsibility for the first "Shanghai" The animal shelter" was sealed.

On the character "Feng", there are also cute animal heads printed on it.

　　After sticking the seal, Zhai Jiang backed away with a hint of loneliness on his face.

"Happy and sad, and a little reluctant." In Zhai Jiang's view, the closing of the "animal shelter" represents the improvement of the epidemic in Shanghai, "but there are also some who are reluctant to bear the furry child inside."

　　On the 26th, Shanghai's first "animal shelter", the "animal shelter" in Huangpu Laoximen Street, was officially closed.

In 20 days, Zhai Jiang and ten volunteers built a temporary "home" for 55 animals in dozens of families.

　　Recalling that he was notified of the establishment of an "animal shelter", Zhai Jiang still couldn't hide his excitement. As a pet lover, he has been concerned about pet-related issues all year round, "I am a member of the Democratic Revolutionary Party, and I wrote a proposal earlier. ".

　　Before waiting for the news of the implementation of the proposal, Zhai Jiang first received a request from the neighborhood committee. "At that time, the neighborhood committee wanted to take care of pets that are closely connected to quarantine personnel." Considering the safety of pets in his store, "While pets are not contagious, Corona virus, but their supplies and hair are still at risk..."

　　Zhai Jiang then suggested to the street to set up an "animal shelter", "It really moved very quickly, and the street went back to the meeting after hearing my report." Then, Zhai Jiang received the notification of the establishment of an "animal shelter" overnight, "Look at it. Site, purchasing the necessary supplies, rebuilding, contacting and disinfecting..." It took only two days, and on May 8, Shanghai's first "animal shelter" was officially opened.

"Although it was established a little late, it still helped some furry children."

　　The blue tent outside the cabin is Zhai Jiang's temporary residence. For more than 20 days, he has slept here almost every day. "At that time, three huskies lived in, and the huskies screamed like wolves, and then those few nights It was windy and rainy", he said with a smile that he seemed to live in a "forest" during that time.

　　The owner of the three huskies, Huang Xing, is a guide dog trainer with more than ten dogs in foster care.

On May 12, he became a close contact and needed to be quarantined, so these "hairy children" were transported to the "animal cabin". "When I was in the quarantine hotel, the most worrying thing was them." Since the "hairy children" were transported to the square After the cabin, the volunteers will video-connect with him every day, so that he can keep abreast of the pet's living conditions.

　　Not only the owner needs to be comforted by the video of the pet, but the pet also needs to be comforted by the video of the owner.

　　The cat Xiaopang was adopted by Miss Lu in the United States. One person and one cat have been with each other for many years. "I went to many places with him. We went back to China together and quarantined in the hotel..."

　　This time, after Miss Lu was isolated as a close contact, Xiaopang was sent to the "animal shelter".

　　Unlike most pet dogs, cats have a strong sense of territory, and they are prone to stress when they suddenly move to an unfamiliar environment. Xiao Chuan has obvious stress reactions in the cabin, and the volunteers tried their best to not be able to. To ease its anxiety, "We only had a video with the pet's owner to let the owner appease it. I didn't expect this trick would be useful," Zhai Jiang recalled.

　　In Zhai Jiang's heart, he still has many shortcomings. As soon as the news of the "animal shelter" came out, his phone was basically in a state of being "exploded". "Many people from other streets called me for help", but he only It can help the residents in the sub-district jurisdiction. "I felt very sad when I heard it, but I could only teach them some measures on the phone, such as turning off the tap a little, putting more food, etc."

　　During the interview with Zhai Jiang, he kept emphasizing that the operation of the "animal shelter" received help from all walks of life.

　　The first is the government departments within the jurisdiction. The Market Supervision Bureau helped install wireless network cards and arranged for volunteers to conduct daily nucleic acid monitoring; the urban management staff was responsible for picking up the "hairy children" in the cabins; the disinfection team under the City Appearance and Greening Bureau was responsible for The disinfecting work of the switch compartment...

　　In Zhai Jiang's circle of friends, he also recorded everyone's "feeding" from time to time. These feedings came from pet owners who had entered the cabin, nearby businesses, and reporters who had interviewed...

　　For the misunderstanding on the Internet, Zhai Jiang was very sad to see, "Pets are family members in my heart, doing this (caring for animals) is my own choice, and it doesn't affect others."

But these remarks (negative public opinion) will not affect him. "I also thought a lot during (doing) the 'animal shelter'."

　　Caring for stray cats and dogs is Zhai Jiang's next focus. "During the epidemic, the number of stray cats and dogs in Shanghai has surged. How to make these little lives a quality life is also a manifestation of Shanghai's urban civilization."
