Mayor Enrique Cresto presided over a meeting together with the vice president of the Deliberative Council, Claudia Villalba, in which a collaboration agreement was signed with the Animal Protection Society, which contributes to the daily work carried out from the shelter, caring for hundreds of animals that pass through its facilities.
In this context, the Municipality of Concordia will contribute resources to cover maintenance expenses for the shelter, food, and veterinary costs for the animals sheltered there. In addition, two people belonging to the Potenciar Trabajo Plan will be sent to carry out the tasks entrusted to them by the association.
“It is essential that the State commits to the care and rights of animals, working together with organizations and residents on the axis of protection. Through this agreement, the need for rescue and care of domestic animals is recognized, trying to control their growth, providing them with veterinary care, food, and seeking their adoption,” said Councilwoman Villalba in this regard.
In the same vein, the president of the protection society, José Luis Rivero, commented that the agreement “is about resources and people who will work there, directed by the people from the Municipality to help us with the cleaning of kennels and other maintenance tasks,” he detailed.
“Together with Mayor Enrique Cresto, we managed to obtain the loan for use of a place in Concordia for us to develop our activity, which is very necessary. Now this collaboration is expanded in this agreement. We are working hard, also being part of Ciudad Pitbull and with several projects to strengthen our institution and the important protectionist and social work that our institution fulfills. I am very grateful because it is something that is not seen elsewhere in the country and the mayor has accompanied this process,” concluded the protectionist.
