The campaign is being publicised throughout the city and will be posted on social networks and the municipal website. Ramon Perpinya recalled that adoption should be the first option for people who want an animal: “In this way, we give a second chance to the dogs and cats that arrive at Son Reus. In addition, the Centre helps all families so that the adoption is responsible, as an animal is never a toy.”
