Where to get assistance if you lose your pet in Spain...
In
the event of losing your pet or finding a lost pet, there are a number of
things that can be done.
Found
a pet in Spain?
- Take the
animal to a local vet who will check if it is identified
- If it is not
identified the finder may keep it or contact the SPA (Sociedad Protectora
de Animals) to ask for
help. There are branches in some cities.
- The last
option is to take the animal to the public kennels (Perrera Municipals),
where, if nobody wants it and it is unclaimed within 13 days, it will be
euthanised.
