Pets waiting to find a new home
In this same environment of Avenida Teniente Flomesta, the City of Murcia, through the Department of Health and Sports, has organized a sample of pets, in order to encourage the adoption of pets and provide a new home.
"Last year we launched this initiative with great success on the part of Murcia families, who adopted dozens of pets," said José Ballesta, who added that "the Zoonosis Municipal Center has a magnificent adoption program."
The adoptive family receives the dog or cat with its immunization record, microchip and hairdressing voucher;
all for free.
On the other hand, the Ordinance on the Protection and Tenure of Animals of Human Coexistence is being processed, which will be brought to plenary, a consensual document that ensures animal welfare and fosters adoption, and which includes the commitment to sacrifice ' zero 'for the 2020 horizon, by the City of Murcia.
