  • San Pedro de la Paz Municipal Veterinary Service reports its temporary shelters are at maximum capacity.
  • The service is appealing to the community to adopt 14 animals, including 11 dogs and three cats, currently in their care.
  • Adoptions will free up space to accommodate new animals rescued from abandonment or mistreatment.

The Municipal Veterinary Service of San Pedro de la Paz is facing a critical capacity issue, with all its temporary shelters full. The facility is urgently calling on the community to adopt 14 animals currently under its care, comprising 11 dogs and three cats of various ages.

These animals were rescued from situations of abandonment, mistreatment, or following the death of their owners. Adopting them would not only provide them with loving homes but also create essential space for the veterinary service to take in and care for new animals in need. The municipality is employing a "niche control" strategy, which involves capturing, sterilizing, vaccinating, registering, and returning animals to their environment, supported by four temporary shelters.

The veterinary service highlights a wide variety of dogs available for adoption and encourages interested individuals to visit the municipal facility to meet them. The call for adoption is crucial for the continued operation of the service and the welfare of the animals it rescues.
