The Association Cantinho dos Animais was formed in 1979 and is recognized as legal person of Public Utility since 1988.
It’s main objective is to promote and defend animal rights in different aspects: to denounce and fight cruelty towards animals, to improve their living conditions, sensitization to the cause of animal and environment defence and improving public health.
It’s main activity is focused in collecting of abandoned animals and guiding them to adoption, as well as in the promotion of public opinion in sensibilization campaigns.
