On March 30, Ms. Yi's community became a closed-off area, and her family began home isolation monitoring. But on the first day of home isolation, Ms. Yi lost sleep.

If we go to the centralized isolation, what will they do? Ms. Yi said, the three dogs are her family, and she can't leave without worrying about them. Since my daughter was born, they have been accompanying and guarding my daughter, and I am also responsible for them.

Ms. Yi quickly learned about the Pet Cabin public welfare project in Changsha.

In the next few days, new pet owners joined the group, and one message after another was sent to the group. Ms. Yi said that many pet owners are worried that they will be quarantined and their pets will not be taken care of. Everyone encourages and comforts each other in the group, and volunteers will help us to ease our emotions. I see that many cats and dogs have been successfully taken to the 'pet cabin', so I feel a lot more at ease.

On March 31, when Ms. Yi received a call requiring centralized isolation, she immediately posted a message for help in the group. Soon, volunteers came to her community. After learning about Ms. Yi's situation, the community arranged for the staff who were delivering vegetables to each household to help lead the pets downstairs.

He said that after learning of the launch of the Pet Cabin public welfare project in Changsha, he contacted Hu Yiming as soon as possible, hoping to provide them with professional advice.

I gave them some guidance and suggestions on the disinfection operation and centralized management of pick-up and drop-off pets. In Yang Lingchen's view, the establishment of pet cabins is conducive to professional care of pets. It can also avoid the risk of epidemic transmission.

They have successfully helped hundreds of pets from 32 families to be accommodated in the square cabin.

Juzi's Adorable Pet Nursery has an all-day live broadcast. When Ms. Yi was in quarantine at the hotel, she would check three dogs on her phone every day. We watch the live broadcast every day, and even when we take a nap, we fall asleep listening to the barking of the dog. Soon, Ms. Yi, who was released from isolation, could see Kaka, Lisa, and Yaoyao and take them home.
