Resumo:
The problem of abandoned or vulnerable animals is present
in the most diverse cities in Brazil. In an attempt to resolve or minimize such
problems arise in third sector organizations focused on reception and protection
animal, which play a role that should be carried out by the Administration
Public. Therefore, this study has the general objective of describing the main
challenges of institutions in the third sector of animal protection and shelter in the city of
Mossoró-RN. Based on descriptive and qualitative research, interviews were carried out
with three third sector institutions focused on animal causes in the municipality of Mossoró RN, through a structured itinerary prepared by the author in the period of April and May
2023, where the analysis took place through a discourse analysis. The results showed
that institutions face challenges mainly related to lack of resources
financial resources, the lack of adequate shelter and the lack of support from public authorities. He was
possible to verify that despite consistent legislation, there is still insufficient
policies and actions of public authorities for the animal cause in the municipality.
