Workers take a stray dog out of a van at the municipal animal shelter of Tbilisi City Hall's animal monitoring agency, where captured animals are vaccinated, microchipped and sterilised before being released back, in Tbilisi on November 14, 2025. In the streets of the Georgian capital, such a scene is part of daily life: community-fed "yard dogs," yellow municipal tags on their ears, lounge outside bakeries, metro entrances and school gates. The free-roaming canines stir both affection and fear. What to do with their swelling numbers - in the tens of thousands in Tbilisi alone - has become a nationwide dilemma.
