On June 30th Scooby Medina opened its doors
for the first time in one of the Open Days to be carried out throughout the
year on the last Sunday of each month.
Despite the sweltering heat, one hundred people were present that day. We thank
them all for being there and for their willingness. It was an unforgettable
evening, where laughter, good humor and the love for animals were the frame at
all times.
Fermin, as host of the day, showed every corner of Scooby
to the participants, who were very impressed at the improvement of our
facilities and at the number of animals we gather at the shelter, and because
of this it became apparent the need for assistance of any kind in order to keep
in good conditions our installations as well as our animals.
The visit began at the facilities of our clinic, the
audiovisual room, and the administrative office, to continue with the
quarantine room, the warehouse and the different yards where found dogs live.
The visit continued in the area for the sheep, goats, pigs, horses and donkeys,
where attendees could interact with the latter feeding them. Finally Fermin
showed them the lagoon area with our birds and the area of cats, raccoons,
and puppies. Some of the young people had the opportunity to feed one of our
last “tenants”: a stork.
After almost two hour visit, the meeting ended with a
snack and a soda at the store, where the work of Scooby and the help that is
still needed to keep fulfilling our goals was highlighted.
Several of the participants in this meeting have become
volunteers Scooby Medina, showing their love for animals, and helping every day
in the work that is required. To them and all attendees, thanks for your
interest.
The open days will continue on the last Sunday of each
month during the months of July, August and September, from 19.30 to 21.30
hours and from October to April, from 12:00 to 14:00.
We
count on you for our next meeting on July 28 at 19.30.
