The 2nd Edition of #AdoptaunJubilado began last week with the presentation of its #AdoptaUnJubilado 2018 Solidarity Calendar. At the presentation held at the Royal House of Correos in Madrid, the organization’s president, Rosa Chamorro, stated that “since its creation in January 2015, the association has facilitated the adoption of 125 dogs retired from service due to age, illness, or loss of abilities, one hundred percent of those who have needed to find a home during this time”.
For this second edition of the solidarity calendar, they once again featured Jubi, a design by cartoonist Antonio Fraguas Forges, along with the participation of prestigious professionals such as journalists Matías Prats, Julia Otero, Mónica Carrillo and Alfonso Egea. Athletes José Manuel Calderón, Chema Martínez, Borja Carrascosa, David Meca, Joana Pastra, Álvaro Bautista and Toni Albacete. Music groups Los Secretos and Hombres G. Comedians such as Paco Mir and Faemino y Cansado and Pancho Varona. Flamenco dancer Sara Baras; presenters Jacob Petrus and Raquel Sánchez Silva; actors Jesús Olmedo and Jordi Sánchez; chef Chicote; La Vecina Rubia and Mario Vaquerizo.
You can get the calendar through their website with a €10 donation.
This campaign, carried out by the NGO “Héroes de 4 patas”, seeks to promote the adoption of dogs retired from institutions such as the National Police, the Armed Forces, or the fire service, and to offer them a dignified retirement. Through these campaigns, they aim to highlight the important work these dogs perform, tasks that would not be possible without their help, such as detecting substances or survivors.
So far this year, thanks to the work of this NGO, 40 dogs that served the State Security Forces have been adopted.
At Aristopet, we support this type of initiative and hope that these great heroes soon find a new home.
