The Supreme Court's order to shift homeless dogs in Delhi NCR to shelter homes has sparked widespread discussion. Opinions vary, with many supporting the decision while others oppose it. The question arises, how will arrangements be made for so many dogs in shelters? Although dog shelters are uncommon in India, many countries worldwide have such arrangements.

Let's explore the world's largest dog shelter and how many dogs it accommodates. Dog shelter homes provide proper care for dogs, offering sustenance and healthcare to homeless dogs.

The largest dog shelter in the world is located in Romania. Initiated in May 2001 under a German-Romanian project, it aims to provide a home and medical treatment for dogs. This dog shelter, known as Ute Langenkamp, is situated at Iubiti Maidanezii near Pitesti, Romania.

This vast shelter is large enough to be recognized by the Guinness Book of Records. It comfortably houses 3,000 dogs across an area of 45,543 square meters.

Controlling the dog population requires both medical treatment and sterilization. At this Romanian dog shelter, dogs receive necessary care, including sterilization, ensuring their well-being.

The Supreme Court's directive to move homeless dogs from Delhi NCR to shelters aims to protect children and senior citizens from stray dogs. This step seeks to address the issue of stray dogs in the capital.
