Eduardo also helps injured animals and gives them a forever home if they are never adopted…

Today, the shelter houses 22 dogs and 4 cats that were all rescued by Eduardo…

“In those years of feeding animals on the streets, I realized that they have feelings very similar to ours. There is a dog named Baiano who always brings gifts for me: a bottle, a bowl, or a leaf. I had the idea of ​​creating a different place. A nursery with colors, toys, recreation, activities, music, dancing, theme parties, and birthdays.”

This temporary home for animals works like a recreational daycare center where pets are prepared to be put up for adoption with attention and various activities.
“I want to make the Institute become something much more than a dog depot. In the recreational daycare format, I want to make them happy and healthy so that they can be adopted later,” said Eduardo.

It’s more than a shelter. EduPaçoca Institute is the first shelter of the recreational type in Anápolis. The city has nothing like it…

Eduardo said that the idea of opening a shelter originated last March.
“The region where I live is cold, and many stray dogs were dying of hypothermia. There are no public actions, so I decided to help. I was collecting blankets, creating houses with basins, and feeding them. In a week, there were three, then more dogs would appear, and when I went to see them again, there were already ten. Everyone followed me.”
