In a move to promote the provision and development of pet-friendly spaces, the Animal Protection Office (APO) launched an initiative to recruit non-pet-related establishments to join in on the efforts. The annual target is to recruit at least fifteen establishments or venues – restaurants, recreational facilities, public spaces, and transportation facilities.
 
As of April 19 2018, a total of 54 establishments have completed the review process. These include Family Mart, Second Floor Café, HOLA, Taiwan Taxi, and Grand Hyatt Taipei. These facilities will allow customers to bring their furry companions with them, while some even offer dedicated pet menus and other pet services.
 
The agency published a list of establishments that welcome animals on its official website. Individuals who plan to bring their feline or canine friends may also visit Taipei Animal Friendly Space Facebook fan page for more information.
 
In addition to creating more pet-friendly spaces, APO offers courses designed to help responsible pet owners improve their knowledge on pet etiquette rules, care, and food preparation. Fourteen class sessions have been held over the past two years and are now available online. A total of 552 pet owners and 22 dogs have benefited from the courses, noted the agency.
