The most popular names for dogs during this period were Luna, Kira, and Rocky. Among the newly registered names, some stood out for their uniqueness or pop-culture references. Notable mentions include names like "Goku," "Gwen Stefani," and "Chandler," which may be inspired by popular TV shows, cartoons, or movies.

Since 2008, there has been a noticeable increase in the number of registered dogs. In 2019, the total number of dogs was 5,072, which increased to 5,496 in 2021, and further to 5,786 in 2022. This upward trend in dog registrations, particularly around 2020–2021, could be linked to the COVID-19 pandemic, where increased demand for companionship during lockdowns may have led more people to adopt dogs.
