AANIFEIRA – Associação de Integração Social e Comunitária is a nonprofit organization dedicated to protecting, sheltering, and defending abandoned or at-risk animals. Guided by respect for life, compassion, and responsibility, it works to improve animal welfare and promote a more ethical, caring community. At its shelter, AANIFEIRA cares for dogs and cats, providing food, veterinary attention, safety, and affection while they wait for responsible, loving homes.

Its work also includes supporting responsible adoption and raising awareness about animal welfare through educational activities and collaboration with schools, public bodies, and local partners. Volunteers, adopters, families, and supporters all contribute to the organization’s efforts. AANIFEIRA also provides information about helping the organization, becoming a member, animal-related legislation, and lost and found animals.

Its mission is to defend and care for animals, promote their dignity, and encourage lasting commitments to their well-being. The organization envisions a society in which animals are respected, protected, and loved, and where their welfare is part of community life
