Do you want a loyal friend for life by your side? Adopting him is the best decision you could make. Thousands of animals are abandoned and mistreated every day in every corner of the world and Spain is one of the countries with the highest rate of abandonment, despite the great effort of hundreds of animal protection organizations to change this situation.
Adopting an animal is a very important step, not only because you will increase the family by one more member with what this entails, but because you will contribute your bit in the fight to eradicate abandonment

From our site we advise you to read some of these factors that you should take into account before adopting your pet.
