Volunteers helped residents in COVID-19 quarantine take care of their pets in southern China.

A volunteer named Ms Zhang recorded the video in the city of Chengdu in Sichuan Province on November 16.

According to Ms Zhang, she has experience in taking care of pets. They put on protective clothing and disinfected themselves before going to 15 residents' flats to feed, change the water and clean up for their pets.

The pets were left home alone as their owners were in COVID-19 quarantine.

Since the owners were seeking help, three volunteers and one pandemic prevention worker formed a pet care team to help the owners take care of their animals.

The team leader Mr He said the number of pets who needed care is increasing and they will also look after stray dogs in the community.

The team currently needs more volunteers urgently and he hoped that more people can join the team to protect animals during the pandemic.

11月16日，成都的张女士记录了她作为志愿者进入高风险小区帮隔离主人投喂宠物的过程。张女士称，自己有养宠物的经验，做好防护和消杀后，到15家住户家中对宠物进行投食、换水和清洁等工作。

连日来，成都市成华区二仙桥街道工作人员接到理工东苑（西区）一些民众求助称，因为主人被隔离，家中宠物无人照料，希望得到帮助。确定需求后，二仙桥街道工作人员很快组织起了一个“宠物爱心小分队”。小分队由4人组成，包括3名志愿者和1名防疫人员。 他们每天会上门给宠物投食，并对环境做好消毒工作，钥匙则由户主提供。

目前小分队的宠物照看数量仍在不断增长，除了家养宠物，社区流浪狗也将被纳入其中，队长何先生表示，自己每天需通勤一小时投喂宠物，目前队伍亟需人手，希望更多人一起保护疫情下的小动物。（视频由成都台提供）
