        The Chinese New Year of 2022 is coming, and Taipei Animal Shelter (TAS) will be closed on New Year’s Eve (1/31) and reopen to public on 2/5. Even though TAS will be close to visitors during Chinese New Year, still, there will be at least 21 staff members on duty to maintain cleanness of shelter and taking care of seriously ill dogs and cats every day during Chinese New Year. Those staff members include attending veterinarians, veterinary assistants, animal controller, animal behavior trainer, and cleaners; the food storage is more than sufficient and which assures dogs and cats of TAS can enjoy big meals during Chinese New Year.

Even though TAS will be closed for 5 days, there will be another 4 days (1/29, 1/30, 2/5/ and 2/6) that TAS still open to public during Chinese New Year holiday.
