A shopping center in Belém is hosting a pet adoption fair on Saturday (21st), in partnership with the NGO 'Os Resgatados da Rubenice'. The event aims to bring together rescued dogs and cats from the streets, all of whom are ready to find new homes. Set in a spacious area in front of Detran on the first floor of the shopping center located on Avenida Augusto Montenegro, the fair runs from 10 am to 4 pm, offering visitors a chance to engage with the animals available for adoption while learning about responsible pet ownership from the NGO staff.

Attendees will have the opportunity to meet the animals and receive guidance on responsible pet care. Those interested in adopting a pet need to bring identification documents and be prepared for a brief interview, which ensures that each adopted animal will be placed in a safe and nurturing environment. This process emphasizes the commitment required in pet ownership and helps prevent potential abandonment.

Moreover, the event seeks to highlight the urgent need to reduce animal abandonment in the city. By encouraging the community to choose adoption over purchasing pets, the fair aims to foster a supportive environment for rescued animals and promote awareness about their plight. This aligns with the NGO's mission of rescuing and caring for abandoned pets in the greater Belém area, making the adoption fair not only a matchmaking event for pets and owners but also a crucial educational effort on animal welfare.
