From January to August of this year, the institution has provided 475 medical attention, has attended 142 rescues, 6 strandings and has received 238 organizations as donations.

This particular day was chosen to coincide with the saint of animals Saint Francis of Assisi, who in life considered that all beings that inhabit the earth are creatures of God.
