In São Paulo, the city is hosting the 5th Animal Week SP from November 7 to 14, offering free rabies vaccinations, microchipping, Animal General Registries (RGA), and neutering terms, alongside adoption programs. In Penedo, Alagoas, a campaign running from November 3 to December 7 utilizes mobile teams to visit elderly residents or those with mobility issues. Other Brazilian efforts include vaccination drives in Marília and Alta Floresta, while Apucarana has authorized a R$ 4 million tender to reconstruct the Municipal Animal Health Center. Population control efforts continue in Pindamonhangaba and Valinhos, and Palmas has extended its ‘Animal Zero Street’ sterilization services.
