Ibiza City Council eliminates adoption fees and reinforces fines for animal abandonment

Until now, the adoption cost 30 euros per small dog and up to 75 euros for private adult dogs.

The Ibiza Town Hall has announced that this Thursday will be approved the elimination of the animal adoption fee, a measure that seeks to encourage responsible adoption and offer a new opportunity to the animals waiting in the protection center of Sa Coma. Until now, the adoption involved a cost of 30 euros per small dog and up to 75 euros for private adult dogs, but with the update of the tax ordinance these rates will go to zero euros.

A step towards the “animal friendly city”.

The Councilman for Animal Welfare, Manuel Jimenez, stressed that the elimination of this fee is part of the City Council’s commitment to become an animal-friendly city. Jimenez stressed that in addition to eliminating adoption fees, the penalties for abandonment of animals have been increased. penalties for abandonment have been increased from 40 to 80, which will go from 40 to 80 euros per animal, applying to both dogs and cats. “We want these animals to find a family as soon as possible,” expressed the councilman, recalling that the Sa Coma center has made improvements, such as the creation of enclosures where animals can exercise off-leash and the implementation of sterilization campaigns and control of feline colonies.

The challenge of PPP dogs and public awareness

The City Council also seeks to make visible and facilitate the adoption of potentially dangerous dogs (PPP), whose classification is based on physical characteristics, not on their behavior, which has hindered their adoption. Currently, the Sa Coma center houses 30 dogs classified as PPP. In addition to this measure, awareness campaigns and training sessions are being carried out, such as the one held last October 26, focused on canine emotional management to prevent problems of coexistence between people and animals. With this new ordinance, the City Council of Ibiza reaffirms its commitment to animal welfare, facilitating adoption and strengthening measures against abandonment.
