According to the Affinity Foundation, 17 dogs are either lost or abandoned in Spain every hour. Statistics for 2008 show that, of the 118,000 dogs lost, 101,000 were abandoned – a shameful figure.
There are all sorts of reasons why people abandon dogs, the death of the owner, a new child in the family, a change in the dog’s behaviour etc. Taking the dog to an animal rescue centre is the proper way to deal with these sort of problems. Just dumping dogs and puppies out of the car in the hope that someone will pick them up isn’t.
Quite a few of the residents here at Villas Andrea have adopted dogs which they found roaming the streets. There is a limit though to the number of dogs that anyone can keep. We have probably passed that limit by now.
So please don’t leave any more dogs near our estate.
