La Petite Arche, an animal shelter in Dormelles (Seine-et-Marne), has sounded the alarm.
The places are full and officials remind that adoption commits for many years.
They also advise to be well informed about the animals beforehand.
This would, for example, have prevented the abandonment of Yvonne, a Vietnamese pig.
The animal found in the forest had been taken to the refuge, says
La République de Seine-et-Marne
.
Because dwarf pig does not mean little pig.
These animals weigh between 50 and 80 kg in adulthood.
To help in its mission, the shelter accepts online or in-kind donations.
It is also possible to sponsor an animal.
Cats are the majority at the shelter
“We turn around 1,000 euros in costs per month in veterinary care and as much in food”, explains the owner of the refuge, who takes care of the animals at home with her daughter and her husband.
Cats are the most numerous today.
27 are available for adoption.
The needs for kittens are also important, especially in litter and food.
