According to the official website for the center:

 The animals at our center receive the care they need including food, exercise, love and veterinary care. The ANAA Adoption Center is intended as a place of passage, since the aim is that all animals are adoptable and find a family that will provide the necessary conditions for optimal quality of life. In ANAA Adoption Centre staff work daily so engaged as volunteers who selflessly give their time, in order that the animals are in the best possible conditions.”
