“I have 27 rescued animals with me, and I feed several that I meet along the way. I see that this is a mission that God gave me, and I hope to be able to do much more while I’m still alive!” shared Elierson.
We were curious whether Elierson gets any financial help from someone to support his mission. He responded: “One or two followers on my social networks help me, unfortunately, I don’t have anyone, no organization helping me at the moment, who knows, with our story being publicized we can receive more help? You are all very welcome!”

Due to rescuing more than several animals, we were wondering if Elierson had especially moving rescue stories that touched him deeply. He wrote: “Yes, there are several stories on my social networks, but the one that moved me most was about Estrelinha and Vitória.”
However, what truly captivated people’s attention was a video of dogs enjoying a water tank that Elierson had built for the dogs to cool off

Elierson also shared more about the pool idea with us: “Because it is a very hot place, and I realized how much animals suffer from the heat, I decided to build this tank.”
We asked whether Elierson was surprised by how much the people online would appreciate the effort.
“It was a great surprise to see the videos go viral and seeing the joy of the animals when they entered the water fills me with the satisfaction of having done something good for them!” responded Elierson.
