In this edition, among some 40 dogs that will travel from the protective AUPA (Adopt an abandoned dog), we will see some parade like Penguin that he arrived at the shelter with his mother, his brother and two sisters and they are miraculously alive because someone had thrown them all into a ditch; Khan, 8 years old who, after overcoming the trauma of having been mistreated, loves to be cuddled and play with other dogs; Tango, the “model” of this edition's poster, who is handsome, good and very smart; Zita, 18 months old, who when she was abandoned was very hungry and was picked up very thin, has become a very happy, playful and sociable dog; Tokyo, who tied him to a fence after having used him as a sparring partner, is now recovering and just needs time and a lot of pampering to forget human evil.
That solidarity morning we will also have the opportunity, at the end of the parade, to enjoy a exhibition with Valencia Training, an organization that collaborates with the shelter in teaching the basic commands of canine education to AUPA dogs. We will be able to see how 5 substance detection dogs work at airports and an adopted dog has been integrated into that canine team.
This Sunday BIOPARC Valencia becomes animal welfare speaker with the AUPA-BIOPARC parade to adopt an abandoned dog and a meeting point for a society increasingly committed to responsible behavior.
