SAFE: Centro de Acolhimento e Tratamento para animais em situação de vulnerabilidade.

Abstract

The interest in acquiring domestic animals has become increasingly recurrent among Brazilian families. However, as this interest grows, the rates of loss, abandonment and mistreatment increase in almost the same proportion. In this way, the work presents the relevance of implementing an enterprise that meets the existing demands in the context, capable of welcoming animals that are in vulnerable conditions, enabling clinical treatment if necessary and finally promoting a responsible adoption for them. The present work presents the evolution of the human x animal relationship over time and subsequently indicates the possible motivations that lead to abandonment. Establishes the guidelines for the conception of an Animal Welcoming and Treatment Center, exploring the norms and regulations that support the project proposal. Also, it exposes studies of similar correlates both nationally and internationally in order to support the design of the project. The study demonstrates the condition of the current scenario regarding the abandonment of animals in the city of Curitiba/PR and region, identified through a survey carried out. It presents a mapping of the constraints and potential in the municipality to establish the ideal location for the development, in order to create an adequate and safe environment for the rescued animals, guaranteeing them the necessary care and comfort during their rehabilitation and eventual adoption.
