In 2017, the government also made a new law that no longer allowed shelters to kill animals that didn’t get adopted. Even though this saves animals’ lives, it means there are even more animals living in shelters. Fortunately, the larger new shelters can provide more space for the strays. More importantly, people will be more likely to adopt animals because the new shelters are more pleasant to visit. Some shelters, such as the one in Kaohsiung’s Yanchao District, even have a space where people can spend time with the pets before adopting them.
2017 年，政府也制定新法，不再准许收容所杀死未被领养的动物。即使这么做拯救了动物的生命，这也意味著更多动物会住在收容所内。幸运的是，这些更大的新收容所可以提供较大的空间给流浪动物。更重要的是，人领养动物的意愿会提升，因为参观收容所的体验变好了。有些收容所（例如一间在高雄燕巢区的收容所）甚至有一个能让人们在领养前跟动物相处的空间。
