Doganzo is a non-profit animal welfare association that operates in the municipality of Daganzo de Arriba (Madrid) and its surrounding areas. Its goal is to improve the lives of companion animals, both those in vulnerable situations and those living with the association's members in their homes as part of the family.
What does the association do?
· Responsible pet ownership activities: seminars, courses, workshops, walks, and various initiatives aimed at achieving better coexistence between people and pets and a better understanding of our companion animals' needs.
It also conducts public awareness and sensitization campaigns to promote an attitude of respect and responsibility towards animals.
· Feline colony management: They care for the cats living on our streets, improving their situation within the colonies. Their project is based on the TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return) method, and all cats are individually registered. They are fed, dewormed, provided with shelters, and given any necessary veterinary treatments. In addition, residents are informed about the work being done and its benefits for them. Spayed/neutered cats do not mark, fight, or meow during heat cycles, and they are an excellent and ecological method of pest control. The TNR method is recommended by the WHO and is the only effective way to prevent feline overpopulation in urban areas.
· Adoption and foster homes: Responsible adopters are sought for sociable colony cats, orphaned kittens or those in high-risk situations, as well as animals found abandoned in the municipality by the association. Volunteers are responsible for finding the most suitable home for each animal to ensure a successful and happy coexistence. Until a family is found for them, the shelter relies on foster homes that temporarily open their doors, providing them with love and care.
