Animal Care Protocols Abandoned
In 2010 it has continued with the intervention protocols were agreed between City Hall and association, both to the work of the hostel to the entrance and exit of animals, not to mention the minimal attention that the animals should be guaranteed.
Over the months, there have been new rules and procedures have improved the functioning of the hostel.
One of the major goals accomplished has been to respond to hundreds of cases in accordance with the basic principle of a working model "sacrifice 0."
In 2010 there were 18 deaths, 11 were due to euthanasia to prevent suffering of dogs in the terminal and 7 deaths from infectious diseases or viruses (parvovirus mostly) animals could not overcome.
The animals come to the playground 2 times a day (morning and afternoon) and have food available from 9 to 16h, except in the case of puppies, they can eat at any time.
