Córdoba: La Cumbrecita creates a registry of loose animals, aims to promote responsible ownership

The local Zoonosis Area is launching a call directed at residents to report dogs and cats that roam unsupervised through public roads, gastronomic establishments, and tourist trails, with the aim of identifying them through identification and optimizing their monitoring.

Open call to the community

The town of La Cumbrecita is progressing in a fundamental measure for animal welfare. The municipal Zoonosis department requires the help of citizens to provide data and photographs of dogs and cats that are found loose in public spaces.

The requested data includes the estimated location where these animals frequent, whether on main roads, bars and restaurants, tourist routes, or private lands.

A survey to plan concrete actions

This registration will allow local authorities to better understand the condition of abandoned pets or those roaming unsupervised in the community.

“This data will help us create a register that simplifies the organization of care and prevention tasks, as well as recognizing animals that are often without supervision,” detailed spokespersons of the municipal department.

Identification system

Using the collected information, an identification scheme will be launched. Each animal will be assigned a unique code directly linked to its owner or responsible party.

The aim of this measure is to expedite the recognition of animals, improve their tracking, and, above all, promote responsible ownership among both residents and tourists visiting this key destination in the Valle de Calamuchita.

Responsible pet ownership

Responsible ownership is the set of obligations that a person or family must assume when adopting a dog or cat as a companion animal, both to ensure its welfare and that of the people and the environment around it. The care and defense of the rights of the district’s animals is promoted.
The most basic care refers to feeding and hygiene. But they also need rabies vaccination, neutering, deworming, and regular visits to the veterinarian. Additionally, we must try to ensure them moments of recreation, taking them for walks or runs when they are younger.”
