Animal Genetics and Reproduction

Adoption can be considered a noble act with regard to the power it has in changing the welfare of the adopted animal. The abandonment of dogs and cats has increased, making it possible to have many animals on the streets in situations of vulnerability and can transmit zoonosis. NGOs play an extremely important role when talking about the abandonment of animals, since they collect these animals in vulnerable situations, providing them with a new home, raising awareness and facilitating the adoption process. This bibliographic review aims to raise awareness about the importance of animal adoption.
