15 Wholesome Pics Of A Brazilian Priest Who Encourages Animal Adoption In Unconventional Ways
Father João Paulo is a Brazilian priest fast becoming renowned for his compassionate nature towards abandoned animals. His journey began in Gravatá, Pernambuco, Brazil, after he was inspired by a local NGO to encourage animal adoption in his church community. He has since been involved in many adoption-related activities and even partnered with universities for animal castration programs.
His unique style of taking the pooches in need of homes to his church masses and even holding an adoption drive in front of the church has seen over 100 dogs rehomed. Father Paulo says, “Adopted animals don’t require work, they only provide love” and shared his thoughts on the animals which he considers a gift, “They are sent by God into our lives, to make us more human and better.”
