accommodate the animals at risk in the municipality of Lisbon

abandoned animals in charge of the association and other entities with protocols with SOS Animal

support the animals of people with economic difficulties

incentivize the mass sterilization in order to control the fertility and thus the over-population of cats and dogs.
