There was a number to call on the old forum to try and contact the man who is supposed to catch the wild dogs in Los Cristianos. I have searched here and canīt find it. Can anyone remember what it was and let me have it so I can pass it on to a Spanish lady who lives in Los Cris and wants to complain about 6 or 7 dogs wandering into the edge of town. She is frightened they are going to attack her and her 2 dogs.

Thanks.

Theres a man who is supposed to deal with that? Has anyone told him that's his job? He's spectacularly bad at it!

Its 010 Zara, but luck with that, because Arona dont seem to give a hoot about the situation, which they have been aware of for over a year. My opinion? They are waiting for them to make a vicious attack so that they can shoot them without a public outcry. Such a shame, the three we got out (with the help of some rather determined supporters) have turned into fantastic family pets.

Thanks Suzy, Warmwind sent me the police numbers but I had a feeling there was a 3 digit number that could be called. You never know this lady may have better luck than the Brits that tried before, she is Spanish and can be a bit feisty so will stand no nonsense if they try to fob her off.

Yes, 010 is the Arona helpline. Using the word help very loosely. I truly hope they do something. Although the elder dogs are completely wild and unsocialised now, so heaven knows what they would do with them even if they did manage to catch them. A tranquiliser gun would work I guess. Beyond us now, sadly. We did what we could.
