Santa Cruz Animal Shelter Urges Holiday Adoptions, Firefighters Launch Calendar
Santa Cruz's animal shelter is appealing to locals and tourists alike to adopt pets before the holidays. With over 100 cats and 70 dogs in need of loving homes, the shelter has launched a unique initiative to boost adoptions and support a local charity.
The shelter's cat colony is thriving, with 25 already having interested families. Each adoption is carefully planned to ensure the best outcome for both pet and new owner. Meanwhile, the project aims to find homes for many of the 70 dogs currently living in the kennel.
Firefighters from Santa Cruz, Madeira, have launched a charity calendar to promote pet adoption and support social causes. The calendar features dogs from the municipal kennel, with firefighters posing as models. However, contrary to some reports, the firefighters are fully clothed. The initiative aims to raise funds for a local charity.
The shelter welcomes visitors and encourages adoptions before December 20 to prevent impulsive holiday gifting. By adopting a pet, you not only give a loving home to an animal in need but also support a worthy cause.
