We love receiving good news like this! The Town Council of San Antonio (Ibiza) and the Gossos Foundation have signed an agreement under which the association will be responsible for collecting and caring for abandoned dogs or dogs that have gone missing in the area.
The Gossos Foundation, a nonprofit association, is strongly committed to addressing the situation of lost or abandoned dogs. It primarily focuses on caring for these rescued dogs and ensuring their physical and emotional recovery.
One of its major achievements is its dog sterilization campaigns, funded by the foundation itself with the cooperation of various institutions, such as the Official College of Veterinarians of the Balearic Islands and the governments of Ibiza. Thanks to its work, it has found new homes for more than 500 abandoned dogs.
According to the terms of this agreement, the Town Council will establish a new protocol for dealing with lost or abandoned animals. It stipulates that any citizen who loses or finds a dog must immediately notify the Local Police, so they can alert the collection services.
For its part, the foundation undertakes to meet the animals' needs, as well as provide the surgical treatments necessary for their recovery.
If the dog has been lost, the ARISTOPADRES will have 21 days to reclaim their pets. If no one claims the dog once this period has ended, the Town Council will donate the animals to the foundation so they can find a new home.
In addition, the foundation will deliver the dogs to their new families sterilized, dewormed, and with all the relevant vaccinations, accompanied, of course, by their corresponding veterinary record.
Through this initiative, the aim is to promote responsible pet ownership and the adoption of abandoned dogs to ensure they have a family and a new life.
