There are a total of 65 dog houses, four quarantines and one playground at the shelter located in the remote Mangshan Mountain, where the dogs are free to run around. /VCG Photo
According to a staff member, most of the dogs were abandoned, unclaimed or confiscated, with some failing to be returned to their owners despite having been microchipped. /VCG Photo
Shelter director Li Guohong said that she has tried to provide the dogs with better living conditions, and hopes that people think carefully before deciding to raise a pet. /VCG Photo
