Animal protectors in the province of Sancti Spíritus requested help this Friday for a shelter managed by two elderly people, which is facing a shortage of food.

The ARCA Sancti Spíritus Foundation posted a message on Facebook informing that Esperanza and Guillén, in charge of the shelter, had gone 15 days without receiving the allocated food quota, which prompted their request for help.

"They do not have resources to feed more than 20 dogs," they emphasized on social media, suggesting that if the current economic crisis, the worst in recent decades, affects people, it hits abandoned pets especially hard.

Although the ARCA Sancti Spíritus Foundation has not provided more information about the scarcity of food at the shelter, they did specify that last Friday they no longer had food for the dogs.

Last May, activists from the Foundation rescued a dog that had been macheted by a man and left to fend for itself.

Recently, they joined animal lovers on social media to share the joy over Yeiko's recovery, who is healing at home.

"Our prince is almost healed, soon there will only be small scars that love will erase and his heart will heal alongside his family who adores him so much," the animalists pointed out on social media.

Another animal shelter, but this time from the province of Villa Clara, asked for help on social media in recent days for a dog that suffered a spinal fracture, expressing great affection for the injured dog.

"You deserve all the beauty in this world, my Miracle," pointed out Daime Pérez Ramírez in the Facebook group Animal Protective Society in Cuba, while asking for help with diapers, Desitin cream, wet towels, and any contribution for the recovery of the dog.
