According to the order, people who come to the shelter with pets must be accommodated in separate rooms or secluded places. In addition, the owner or an attendant must ensure
– constant supervision of the animal;
– appropriate conditions that meet the biological, species and individual characteristics of the animal;
– safety of people and animals in the shelter, as well as property from harm caused by the animal
– safety of the animal itself;
