The Provincial Council approves the plan against stray dogs and opens the period for allegations

The Provincial Council of Córdoba has provisionally approved the Provincial Cooperation Plan for the provision of the Stray Dog Collection Service in the municipalities of the province with a population exceeding 20,000 inhabitants, for the 2026-2029 triennium. The agreement was adopted by the institution’s Plenary in a session held on September 23, 2026, and is published in the Official Gazette of the Province of Córdoba on Friday, October 2, 2026, with reference BOP-A-2026-3256. The text is now open to the public for 10 business days for the submission of allegations and claims.

The announcement, signed by the president of the Provincial Council of Córdoba, Salvador Fuentes Lopera, on September 24, 2026, is disseminated through the Delegation of Infrastructure, Sustainability, and Agriculture and the Provincial Agricultural Center. The publication occupies page 14182 of provincial bulletin number 191, within the Local Administration section.

The plan is framed under Article 32 of the Revised Text of the legal provisions in force regarding the Local Regime, approved by Royal Legislative Decree 781/1986, of April 18, which requires the agreement to be submitted for public information before its final approval.

Scope of the plan

• Scope of application: municipalities of the province of Córdoba with a population exceeding 20,000 inhabitants.
• Purpose: provincial cooperation for the provision of the stray dog collection service.
• Validity: 2026-2029 triennium.
• Approval: provisional, agreed upon by the Plenary in the session of September 23, 2026.
• Promoting body: Delegation of Infrastructure, Sustainability, and Agriculture, through the Provincial Agricultural Center.

Allegations and file consultation

The approval agreement is open to the public for a period of 10 business days, counted from the next business day following the publication of the announcement in the Official Gazette of the Province of Córdoba. With the publication on October 2, 2026, the count begins on Monday, October 5, 2026.

During this period, allegations and claims against the plan may be formulated. The file is available to the local entities requesting the plan and other interested parties at the Planning Service of the Provincial Council of Córdoba, at Plaza de Colón s/n, 14071 Córdoba.

Administrative processing

Provisional approval is a prior and essential step for the final approval of the plan. The public exhibition allows the affected city councils and interested individuals to present their objections before the document is finalized.

The announcement incorporates a Secure Verification Code (BF41 8635 48D0 E1D1 4FE8) and the electronic signature date of the document, October 2, 2026, at 07:59 hours, which allows for the verification of the authenticity of the published copy.

Impact for the municipalities

The plan affects the larger towns in Córdoba, which are the ones that directly handle the collection of abandoned animals within their municipal boundaries. The provincial cooperation formula seeks to have the Provincial Council provide economic and technical support for this service over the next three years.

The opening of the allegations process is the final opportunity for the city councils included in the plan to modify their participation conditions before the text is definitively approved.
