Comprehending the reasons that lead guardians to commit the act of abandonment and how this sychologically affects animals, leaving them physically fragile and making them susceptible to zoonoses.This work also aims to explain the rate of homeless animals, proving the importance of castration for population control. These factors reinforce the importance on creating a place for these animals to receive both mental treatments (resocialization with humans and other animals) as rehabilitation exercises, treatments, castration among other precautions. Furthermore it will show the minimum necessary structure and the importance of creating a shelter from a professional point of view, of those working in the area. Lastly its final goal is tablishing a project to create a shelter/reception center for those animals in vulnerable situation in the city of João Monlevade-MG, A land of 3109 m² was chosen, located in the Belmonte neighborhood, which, in addition to not having nearby houses, is located in an ideal location: neither so close to the center that the intense noise is bothersome for the animals, not so far away that visitors who pass by car do not remember the place. The land is wide and is already leveled, and its areas are used as a barrier for afforestation. The project has four buildings, a main building where clinical services and storage facilities are concentrated, a dog and cat kennel with individual and collective stalls and a stable. One of the main starting points of the project is to work with materials that reduce the environmental impact, being biodegradable, reusable or bio-sustainable, and with the concept of food landscaping, being done through fruit trees, vegetables and vegetables that complement feeding and thus creating an environment of comfort, protection and leisure for these animals arising from rescues and which can create or revive the feeling of belonging and love.
