Rules
Keep areas clean and organized, respecting the place for each utensil to facilitate everyone’s work.
Collaborate in the care and constant improvement of our space, aiming to leave every corner better than when it was found.
Protect the balance of the Sanctuary by keeping stray dogs away and refraining from feeding them; this avoids risks to wildlife, our pets and the harmony of the place.
Receive friends and acquaintances always under the modality of clients or visitors, ensuring that their access respects the permitted areas and the fees of the services that sustain this project.
