Adoption festival success

UP to a dozen animal rescue and welfare associations from all over the Marina Baixa district took part in the seventh edition of the Alfaz del Pi Adoption Festival.

Organised every year by APPA animal welfare association in collaboration with Alfaz Town Hall, the event is aimed at boosting adoptions of dogs and cats currently living in shelters and care homes.

This year’s edition in the Parque de los Eucaliptos ended with more than a dozen dogs from different shelters throughout the district finding new homes.

Since the yearly adoption festival began, more than 80 dogs and cats have been successfully rehoused and numbers of volunteers to offer their houses and care homes have increased.

APPA (standing for Alfaz Association of Dog Owners) was founded in 2014 to fight against the abandonment and mistreatment of animals, and is currently led by Vanesa Pareja.
