The problem of stray dogs in Svaneti is complex and affects local communities and the environment. Homeless dogs not only pose a threat to human health and safety, but also to other animals. The lack of effective control of the dog population and the absence of an adoption and care system mean that the number of homeless dogs is steadily increasing. This phenomenon negatively affects tourism, as well as the image of the region as an attractive place to live and visit. There is an urgent need for coordinated action, including adoption programs, sterilization, public education and shelter construction, to effectively manage the homeless dog population and improve the quality of life for both people and animals.
