Cereco

Cereco is an animal recovery business, a private company, not an animal sanctuary. Approximately 40 Town Halls pay Cereco to collect stray and lost animals up to 1,400€ per month each, plus an extra 106€ per call out to collect an animal outside normal working hours. Included in each contract is the agreement to tour the area once every week to collect dogs and cats found wandering the streets, as well collecting animals from Police Stations and the Veterinary surgeries in the municipalities that have a contract with Cereco. Which means that if you leave an animal that you have found in a vet clinic believing that it will be well cared for, the probability is that it will be collected by one of the Cereco vans, which have no air conditioning, and taken away to the Cereco warehouse in Crevillente. In this warehouse they are confined to a cage, usually with many other dogs. If they are not claimed within 20 days they are destroyed. If an animal has a chip and is not reclaimed by its owners within 30 days it too can be destroyed.

A few Pictures of Cereco

This Chihuahua couldn’t reach the water for 10 days, he survived by drinking urine and was extremely de-hydrated by the time we managed to rescue him.

Here are a few pictures of the animals we helped rescue from Cereco
