The first animal adoption campaign of the Vasco Gil Kennel recently took place in the three main shopping centres – La Vie, Fórum, and Madeira Shopping, promoting the Vasco Gil Kennel (Municipal Kennel), which led to 10 animals being adopted (6 dogs and 4 cats).
Throughout the shopping centres, near life size photographs of the animals were displayed accompanied by a short history covering age and characteristics. A total of 65 animals, 48 dogs and 17 cats, whose life, until now, has been spent in a cage at the Vasco Gil Kennel were advertised for adoption.
In a statement the CMF considers this a positive step forward, noting that during this period there was a significant increase in the number of telephone contacts, visits to the kennel and the facilities of the Animal Cause, in Rua da Alegria, as well as interest in the animals on display and others housed at the kennel.
