Faced with the influx of abandoned animals, the Society for the Protection of Animals (SPA) has set up a system of host families. Testimony of Annick Pezzulla, who picked cats and interview Béatrice Jaume, responsible for the SPA reguge in Orgeval (Yvelines).
What to do with your dog or cat during the holidays? In 1952, the SPA (Société Protectrice des Animaux) proposed a solution: the refuge "Au bon accueil" in Gennevilliers houses animals that their owners could not take with them on holiday. After registration in the register at the reception, as in any hotel, the animals are installed in collective enclosures where they get acquainted with their congeners. If at the end of the holidays, some indelicate masters did not come to look for their four-legged companion, no worries: these left behind will be adopted by animal lovers! The report ends with a last testimony of the love carried by some masters to their animal: the cemetery for animals of Asnières.
In France, the Société Protectrice des Animaux (SPA) generalizes the use of a plaque to identify the domestic dogs of stray dogs so that they do not know the sad fate that the Pound reserves for them. Images of stray dogs in the fieldss, including one that gets caressed. Dogs in the streets. A dog escapes from his home and a policeman captures another to take him to the pound. A man picks up another dog that carries the SPA plate and returns it to a child who owns it.
Only SPA in the Paris region in 1966, the association of Gennevilliers was overtaken by animal abandonment. On the verge of asphyxiation, she finds herself in the obligation to euthanize certain animals, especially cats in a crate on the principle of gas chambers.

The SPA also provides treatments. 12 establishments exist in France including the one in Liévin, thousands of animals are thus treated free of charge that is the other mission of the association.
