WILLEMSTAD - The Ministry of Health, Environment, and Nature (GMN) is collaborating with community police officers and representatives of active animal welfare volunteer organizations to initiate a project in the Otrobanda neighborhood starting Thursday, November 14, 2024.
The primary goal of this initiative is to provide education on the identification and registration of pets and to raise awareness about the Animal Welfare Act and the Dangerous Dogs Act. The program will also emphasize the importance of pet sterilization.

Monday to Thursday: 9:00 AM - 12:00 PM and 1:00 PM - 4:00 PM
