Resumen

El desconocimiento del número de instituciones que trabajan en el rescate y la adopción de perros y gatos en Brasil, además de la falta de datos sobre las políticas internas y externas en vigor, dificulta la aplicación de procedimientos que garanticen la salud y el bienestar de los animales abandonados y en acogida. Esta investigación tuvo como objetivo evaluar el perfil de los refugios brasileños en relación con sus políticas internas y externas para entender la realidad de este tema en Brasil. Los datos de los refugios se recogieron mediante un formulario en línea aplicado en un curso de extensión a distancia. El número de datos considerados en este estudio ascendió a 352 refugios. La mayoría de los refugios eran de carácter privado (67,9%; 239/352) y había representación de las cinco regiones de Brasil y de 22 estados. Se pudo conocer el perfil de los refugios brasileños en relación con sus políticas externas e internas relacionadas con la identificación y recepción de animales, la estructura física, la gestión preventiva, las enfermedades y la salida de los animales. A partir de los datos presentados, se pudo observar la falta de políticas públicas dirigidas a la prevención del abandono y al manejo de la población, así como la falta de aplicabilidad de protocolos y manejos relacionados con la Medicina de Albergues. Los resultados de nuestro estudio proporcionan un punto de partida para que Brasil compare sus políticas y su rendimiento de gestión con otros países, además de reevaluar las estrategias existentes para mejorar la eficiencia de las prácticas llevadas a cabo con los animales abandonados en los refugios e instituciones de adopción.
