FedEx has partnered with the animal welfare organization Cão Sem Dono and Tietê Plaza Shopping to organize a dog adoption fair aimed at raising awareness about animal care and responsible adoption. The event will take place on October 25, from 12 p.m. to 6 p.m., at Tietê Plaza Shopping in São Paulo. The fair will feature dogs of various sizes and ages that have been rescued by Cão Sem Dono. Activities for the public, including children's recreation and a donation drive to benefit the organization, are also planned.
Cão Sem Dono was established in São Paulo in 2005 and works to protect abandoned animals and find them new homes. The organization provides shelter, food, veterinary care, and affection for rescued animals. Over the past decade, it has cared for more than 3,000 animals, with over 2,000 being adopted. Rafael Miranda, president of Cão Sem Dono, said, "The support from FedEx and Tietê Plaza Shopping is essential for the continuation of our work and for our rescues to finally find responsible homes."
The event is part of FedEx Cares, the company's global community engagement program that supports local communities through employee volunteer work, financial donations, and transportation services. FedEx has a history of supporting animal protection efforts worldwide, including providing transportation for species preservation and at-risk animals. In Brazil, the company has run a Uniform Recycling Program for ten years, turning unused uniforms into blankets for donation to institutions, some of which focus on animal care.
