In 2008, through his social networks, the student Ignacio Gac proposed to create a World Day of Stray Dogs at the end of July. His idea was that this awareness day be held in the middle of winter since it is the time of year when many small streets suffer from low temperatures.
The “ callejeritos ”, as the protectors who try to help them call them, are many times animals that escape from places where they are mistreated, and return their affection much more strongly, thanking those who provide them with shelter and food.
Reasons to adopt a stray puppy
Rescuing a stray dog or adopting it in a shelter is a decision that should not be taken lightly, and that commits you for the rest of the animal’s life.
Thousands of dogs remain on the streets and lead a life of fear, hunger, cold and physical abuse. By adopting a stray dog you will be saving his life and offering him a second chance at home.
Various studies have shown the positive effect that an animal generates on human health. At the same time, many claim that children who grow up with animals create greater defenses against allergies, so it can also help your family.
Buying a dog is expensive, but adopting a stray will only cost you giving your word that you will take care of it and love it and that you will take care of it. At the same time, many protectors deliver them vaccinated and sterilized, so you are ready to receive and give love.
