Bianca's mission is to save abandoned animals and animals in risk situations in the region of Sesimbra. We want to save them, give them a temporary shelter, treat the sick ones, vaccinate them and finally find new, responsible owners. The adoptions are done on the basis of an adoption contract.
Bianca Association sensibilises the public over the serious problem of animal overpopulation and the importance of sterilising and castrating of animals. All our adult females are sterilised and all female puppies and kittens that are adopted will have to be sterilised when they reach apropriate age according to a relevant clause in the adoption contract.
Bianca undertakes also pedagogical activities directed towards children and young people in the schools where we make presentations and meetings with animals. We also offer them activities in our shelter where they can get involved in animal care during their free time.
The other activity of Bianca is participation in a resocialisation of young people by offering them an opportunity of voluntary work in the shelter accompanied by their teachers/ psichologists.
One of Bianca's aims is to develop therapeutic activities in old peoples' homes. Upon invitation we visit such homes and we facilitate old people to spend time with our animals. Like this we bring moments of happiness into their lives. Such activties have beneficial effects on their mental and physical health.
