The NGO Sociedade Amiga dos Animais (Friend of Animals Society) run a unique animal shelter to protect them in the city of Caxias do Sul. In 1998, the NGO started the program. The multifaceted is to prepare home for 1,600 dogs and 200 cats. This program is called as “dog favela,” or dog slum by local residents. Thus, by building houses for them the society has helped the animals that were found neglected.Favelas, a common sight throughout Brazil's major cities are home to millions of urban poor and rural immigrants who depart the countryside seeking jobs. Residents of the favela live on a 3-acre plot of land which is bestowed by the local municipality. About 12 tons of food per month is used by the animals according to the NGO. Many of the animals are found on the streets that finish up at the favela, and some have been fatalities of exploitation.
The number of animals arriving at the favela daily exceeds than the number of those being adopted and so the favela is continuously overcrowded. The favela is prolonged beyond its capacity. Financial aid is hoped by the NGO from the government to improve the favela’s frayed conditions and raise the number of animals it can care for.
Natasha Oselame, head of marketing for the organization said, “We started out with the naivete of wanting to change the world, and the project just kept getting bigger, so unfortunately this is all we have to offer them.”
