The arrival of summer is especially worrying because, with it, we do not stop receiving news about the increase in the number of dropouts. However, what is surprising is that it is not necessarily at this time when more animals are abandoned. In other words, there are no more dropouts in summer than at other times of the year, since this situation is very similar in the different months of the year. Contrary to what is commonly believed, the three four-month periods of the year show very similar figures:36%, 33% and 31%, respectively, of abandoned animals over the total for the year. These data confirm that animals are not abandoned mainly in summer, when families do not know what to do with their pets on their vacations, but rather that this situation is constant throughout the year.
