CENTRO DE ACOLHIMENTO E TRATAMENTO PARA ANIMAIS ABANDONADOS NA CIDADE DE NAVIRAÍ/MS

Abstract

The abandonment of animals is a sad reality in many cities of Brazil, including in Naviraí, where they face food deprivation, poor health and even mistreatment. This article proposes an architectural project for a Shelter and Care Center for Abandoned Animals in Naviraí/ MS, in order to ensure the welfare and protection of rescued animals. The methodology involved questionnaires, shelter visits and veterinary clinics, analysis of legislation and case studies, culminating in the preparation of a preliminary project that meets the specific demands of animals, in addition to following principles of accessibility, comfort and sustainability. The results showed structural deficiencies and lack of resources in existing shelters, including scarcity of space and lack of qualified personnel. The project in question seeks to fill this gap, providing adequate facilities for the treatment and reception of animals, while motivating awareness and responsible adoption. With the prospect of becoming a reference in the area, the center is expected to attract more professionals and resources, contributing to the improvement of the welfare of abandoned animals in the city.
