	Comments:	None of the other dictionaries I've got at my disposal have "hokensho" at all, although I do see it is given as the primary reading on the Wikipedia page. However, in my 15- plus year experience with the language it's always been hokenjo. So make that the primary reading.

	Comments:	I agree with Jim. They are still health care centers, so it's not a separate sense, at any rate.

	Comments:	I've been digging into this. It seems that one of the things that 保健所 do is provide some facilities and exchange/new-owner services for cats and dogs. This is one of a whole list of "extra" things they do. Whether it really rates as a second sense to the entry is something I can't judge. I suspect not - it's more a matter for something like the Wikipedia entry. BTW, this is covered in one line in the Wikipedia entry as a bullet point under "対物保健", viz, "野犬・野良猫等の管理、引き取り先の募集（里親募集）"

	Comments:	On the other hand, when I do a Google image search for 保健所, I get lots of images of cages with dogs and other animals.

	Refs:	From the short story 黙市 by 津島佑子, first exmple: そして、その犬の姿が見えなくなった日があった。外に逃げだしたのか、と思った。二、三日経っても、犬は戻ってこなかった。馬鹿な犬だから、外に出てしまったら道が分かるわけもないのだ。保健所に問い合わせた方がよいのかもしれない。 Second example: 庭園の監視員に見つかり、捕まったのに違いない。それからの行方は、やはり保健所なのだろうか。
	Comments:	It seems that to 津島佑子 the word 保健所 means something like animal shelter. But if no one else uses the word that way, let's forget about it. Also, it does not really fit with the kanji.

	Comments:	Can you quote the passage? None of the reference material (dictionary entries, Wikipedia article, etc.) for 保健所 mentions it at all. Could it be used ironically?
