For another year the Sociedad Protectora de Animales y Medio Ambiente
Scooby was present in the fourth edition of the “day of the pet” that was
celebrated last 16th of June in Valladolid. Together with the city council
Scooby was responsible for organizing this edition in the Paseo Central del
Campo Grande.
The meeting was attended by hundreds of people, most of them with their
pets, and both adults and children enjoyed themselves. You could not only see
dogs, there were also cats, hamsters and even a bird or two.
You could attend several activities from the traditional parade where
the dogs were the main protagonists, walking the catwalk like professionals,
always accompanied by their owners. The competition was divided into five
categories: the most original mixed breed, best costume, best pair on six legs,
best look alikes and “my dog is a moviestar”. Furthermore during the day we had
several expositions, dogwalks, games with therapy dogs, bouncing aircastles for
kids and various stands.
In the previous days there were several free workshops about
dogtraining, with great success, in several parks in the city. A drawing and
painting competition with the theme: one more member of the family, and a photo
contest “picture of my cat”.
These days are important for Scooby, for different reasons, one of them
being able to get together with the public, being able to demonstrate the work
we are doing day to day, the productsales and finding sponsors to be able to
continue our work, and without doubt the main objective was to find adopters
for our beloved animals.
In the last months we have seen that the number of abandoned animals has
increased, most likely motivated by the crisis that affects us all, so now it
is even more important to do the work of making people aware of the situation
and inform them , and these kind of days, fairs or other activities help us to
reach the public.
On this day of the pet we managed to have several dogs and cats adopted
so MISSION
ACCOMPLISHED, thanks to everybody. And
for now: back to work!
