Why There Are No Stray Dogs in The Netherlands

The Netherlands is the first country without stray dogs. Here’s how they did it. It sounds unbelievable, but it’s true – you’re no longer in danger of being attacked by a stray dog.

The Netherlands allows its residents to spay and neuter their dogs for free. The country’s “adopt, don’t shop” mentality is further supported with very high taxes on bought puppies which pushes people to adopt from one of 200 dog shelters.

Their Animal Control works like a charm. Anyone who spots a stray dog can call them and they will rescue the animal and take care of it until it’s adopted. Animal abusers and everyone who engages in cruelty is given serious penalties and can end up in prison.

Combine all this and you get a pretty straightforward recipe for having a country free of stray dogs.
