Perfil de cães residentes em uma organização não governamental da cidade de Uberlândia-MG

Abstract

With the increase in animal abandonment, the role of Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) is of great importance, since even if there is a need for public policies aimed at the three pillars of unique health and unique well-being, The abandonment of animals has become an aggravating factor. Thus, the present work aimed to characterize dogs rescued from a non-governmental organization in the city of Uberlândia-MG, through field data collection. The work was developed through the analysis of variables linked to adoption preference such as gender, age, behavior, size, previous adoption, reason for rescue. Afterwards, the analysis was carried out by relating them to each other, using Person's chi-square test with significance of up to 5%. it was possible to conclude that none of the variables showed a statistically significant association with each other. The work of NGOs is fundamental, so, through this research, it is possible to disseminate information linked to factors such as sex, for example, which are not directly linked to behavior, data that is little disseminated in the literature, which can help guide actions within institutions in this sector.
