Life lessons and love stories

I dedicate my life!

I dedicate my life! My name is Noemi de Souza. And my story with animals is this. I spent many years outside Brazil, completely absent from the sad reality that is the abandonment of animals in our country. A few years ago, on one of my trips to Brazil, I became aware of this sad situation, during a visit to the city of Mongaguá, located on the south coast of São Paulo. I was shocked to see so many sick, hungry and neglected animals. Unfortunately, that day I couldn’t do much for them other than feed them. But that scene never faded from my memory. I returned a few days later to the same place and took some bags of feed to give to a lady there, who was trying to help them. When I returned to the United States, where I live, I made an appeal to raise funds for a castration campaign. Months later, with the help of the NGO AILA INTERNACIONAL, we carried out the campaign and castrated more than 150 animals. Since then, with the help of other protectors and sympathizers of the same cause, we do the work that is within our power to save these animals from the streets, especially those that are in critical situations and we work hard to give them a dignified and suffering-free destination. for their lives.

My story with rescued animals

My name is Lais This is my story with rescued animals. Years ago I started working in a house, where the owners loved and rescued many animals. There was always a different pet in the house. Until one day, there appeared a kitten that won my heart. His name was Frajola. He was so small and so helpless that he enchanted me. That was about 7 years ago and he still lives to this day. And with him, the love for animals settled in my life. Today I am a person who loves these pets! 

I love strays!

My name is Maura Pessoa. I love animals because I have always had a great feeling of compassion in my heart. For me, the love of an animal is supreme, it is sincere and unconditional love. I’ve had 12 dogs at once! Unfortunately, at the moment, this is not possible. They were all strays and rescued. These little animals are very grateful when we help them. I love mutts and for me, there is no equal! I don’t think I would buy a dog or cat, as so many of them need homes. This is my puppy and his name is Frederico Pessoa!
