The Town Hall of Estepona has officially denied the false claims that ADANA, the local animal shelter, is facing eviction. In a recent meeting, the mayor reassured the president of ADANA, Susie Brown, and long-time volunteer Fernando Amores that the association’s future is secure.
The rumour, which political groups and individuals have spread, has caused unnecessary worry among local residents and animal lovers. The Town Hall has called it completely false and confirmed that ADANA has a legally binding agreement to use its current location for 75 years.
The shelter, located on an 11,000-square-metre plot in Los Pedregales, was officially granted use of the site by the council in 2021.
ADANA has been caring for abandoned animals in Estepona for over 20 years. Their dedicated volunteers work daily to rescue, shelter, and rehome animals in need. The mayor praised the vital work the charity continues to do and encouraged anyone interested in adopting a pet to visit the shelter.
The Town Hall also supports ADANA by maintaining the facilities and access road, cleaning the septic system and ensuring the water supply works correctly.
Estepona residents can rest assured that the ADANA animal shelter is not under threat. The council remains committed to supporting this much-loved charity and the animals they protect. For more information or to adopt, visit their shelter in the Las Cabrerizas area.
