The initiative aims to encourage the responsible adoption of rescued animals and raise awareness about abandonment and abuse. In the first edition held this year, in March, the event resulted in the adoption of 11 dogs and also collected 1.2 tons of pet food for the work carried out by the partner institution.

Founded in 2015, the Instituto Eu Sou o Bicho began with a food donation campaign for dogs and cats in vulnerable situations. Two years later, the project was officially established as a Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) and began operating permanently in rescue, sheltering, veterinary treatment, and promoting responsible adoption.

Among the projects developed by the organization is the program Lar Temporário Eu Sou o Bicho, which selects and supports volunteers interested in fostering animals until they find a permanent home. During this period, the institute provides support with food, medication, vaccination, deworming, and spaying/neutering, in addition to overseeing the entire adoption process.

In addition to rescue and shelter work, the Instituto Eu Sou o Bicho promotes actions aimed at combating animal abandonment, raising awareness about responsible pet ownership, and controlling the population of dogs and cats, with the support of a team made up of volunteers.

During the event, visitors will also have the opportunity to see different areas of Neo Química Arena through the Tour Casa do Povo. The tour includes internal areas of the stadium, behind-the-scenes spaces normally closed to the public, and places that are part of Corinthians’ history.

The adoption fair will take place on July 18, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. (Brasília time), at Neo Química Arena. The organizers emphasize that the goal of the event is to provide a new home for the sheltered animals and bring fans and visitors closer to a social initiative carried out in partnership with the club.
