The return of stray animals to their original owners represents 30 percent of the animal departures they record. When an animal is found, it is given a temporary stay and is waiting for its owner to appear.
In our State there is a lack of culture of animal care, since pets are treated as objects and not as beings that give love to people, so it is important to raise awareness that they deserve dignified and loving treatment, so that complaints are taken into account when there are acts or omissions against animals, such as repeated neglect in the place where they live, such as poor ventilation, mobility and hygiene conditions, lack of water and adequate food , lack of timely veterinary attention, that they are in a state of abandonment, that they are caged or tied for eight hours or more, in overcrowding, without sufficient space for mobility or in the open. It is also aware of those actions or omissions that cause physical deterioration,
