The animal Welfare Center (CBA) in Barranquilla, Colombia, a groundbreaking facility dedicated to the care of stray animals, will be temporarily closing its doors this Friday, December 20th, from 8:00 AM to 11:00 AM.
This closure isn’t due to any emergency or crisis; instead,it marks a proactive step towards prioritizing the well-being of the CBA’s dedicated staff. The CBA is hosting a complete training and wellness day for its veterinary, medical, and administrative personnel.
The day-long event, held at the CBA’s facilities, aims to enhance the center’s operational efficiency and improve the quality of care provided to the animals under its protection. The CBA cares for a wide range of animals, including dogs, cats, and horses, and this training will directly benefit their well-being.
While the CBA will be closed for new admissions during the training, current patients will receive uninterrupted care. This ensures that animals already in the center’s care will continue to receive the necessary medical attention and support.
For animal emergencies, Barranquilla residents can still rely on the Animal Patrol, which will maintain its regular operations. Emergency services can be accessed by calling line 195, option 8.
This initiative by the CBA reflects a growing awareness of the importance of staff well-being in animal welfare organizations. Just as dedicated staff are crucial for providing excellent care to animals,ensuring their own health and professional development is equally vital for long-term success. This commitment to staff training mirrors similar efforts in U.S. animal shelters and rescues, highlighting a global trend towards prioritizing both animal and human well-being.
The CBA’s dedication to continuous enhancement and its commitment to the well-being of both its staff and the animals in its care serves as a model for other animal welfare organizations worldwide.
