An animal advocate has called for assistance this Saturday from those willing to help raise $800 to purchase a house in the countryside and set up a dog shelter in Güines, a municipality in the province of Mayabeque, Cuba.
According to the message shared by Alberto Luiz Cruz on Facebook, the house they aim to acquire offers ample space, water, and electricity, making it an ideal location to host the animals.
The appeal urges anyone who can contribute, especially from the United States, to contact 786-626-5818 for more information and to view photos of the property. "It is truly necessary," the message emphasizes, highlighting the importance of any donation, regardless of the amount.
Requests for help on social media are common, with animal protectors stressing that their work is unsustainable without community support.
Recently, animal advocates in Havana raised funds to operate on a dog that survived the Hotel Saratoga explosion. Activist Teresa Díaz announced on Facebook that they collected the 5,000 pesos needed for the dog's surgery, who has a tumor on its face, and the necessary transportation for the procedure.
Last May, animal protector Miriela Ramos López warned on social media that cats were disappearing in certain areas of Havana. "I want to issue a warning; two days ago in Playa, near La Puntilla store, not a single cat, stray or household, remains," she emphasized in the Facebook group "Sociedad Protectora de Animales en Cuba."
