The UFRJ Science Park is launching a project called “Dogs of the Park” which aims to rescue and give shelter to animals abandoned in the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro. It also promotes pet adoption campaigns. This started when two workers of the resident companies of the Park together with university employees helped some dogs that had been abandoned in areas that are very close to our innovation environment. Those who wish to be part of this team can send an email to dogs@parque.ufrj.br.
