The Department of Health, which runs Fulgencio Cervantes, Murcia asks not to abandon their pets because at this time, due to the holidays, it increases the number of dogs entering the city center.
Although last year the pound reached less pets in 2007, Cervantes recalls that have a pet is a responsibility that can not be left abandoned in the street because the owners do not know what to do with him on vacation.
Last year came the Municipal Center for Zoonoses 4,129 dogs and 880 cats, compared with 4,283 dogs and 1,148 cats who benefited in 2007.
According to the Department of Health, 40% of homeowners who want to give your pets the drop in the street or garden rails, while only 15% are taken to the Municipal Center for Zoonosis.
In addition, Cervantes emphasizes the danger of abandoning animals on public roads because they can cause traffic accidents.
The Department advises that people who abandon their pets can be punished according to Law 10/1990 of 27 August, with fines ranging between 1502 and 3005, as it is considered a very serious offense.
Fulgencio Cervantes reminds citizens that there is a Municipal Zoonosis Centre which can go free to leave your pet.
The animal can be delivered directly into the center, located in Torremolinos Lane (The Albatalía) 968297578 or call for pickup.
The City has an adoption program for citizens animals are taken home for free.
Pets are given vaccinations, deworming, microchip and a voucher for a bath in a hairdressing canine parasite.
Furthermore, if the person adopting is older than 65 years or is retired is given food for two months and a bonus of one year veterinary care.
