​Large and small-sized domestic animals affected by the Brumadinho dam breach are being assisted in the Córrego do Feijão Veterinary Hospital and the Animal Shelter Farm located near the city of Brumadinho.

Vale has set up these structures exclusively to provide emergency assistance and treatment to the affected animals until they are ready to return to their owners. The Veterinary Hospital is equipped for hospitalization and emergency surgeries. The Shelter Farm comprises a first aid station and a specific structure to shelter the animals. Approximately 300 animals received veterinary care in these structures set up by Vale.

The list containing the photo of all animals currently sheltered by Vale is available on vale.com/brumadinho. Once the ownership is confirmed, animals will be discharged by the veterinarians and will be returned to their owners. If you have lost an animal, please contact us by phone and WhatsApp via Hello Animal (31 99745-7906), or via Service Center at 0800 031 0831.
