Everywhere we see strays. Many of them very skinny and even sick like this one.

We are not posting this for fame. But to encourage everyone to do the same for the sake of our voiceless strays🙏 It’s very hard when you're hungry and can't speak 😔💔

Let's not hesitate to give food to them, we don't know that they might have nothing to eat for days...
Let's be kind to animals...❤️

‼️‼️PLEASE CHECK YOUR CARS BEFORE DRIVING OFF‼️‼️

27/05/2024

One evening as we were driving home from dinner, we saw a dog dragging both its hind legs across the road. We slowed down the car because if we do not, it will surely be run over. It was a dark street. So we did not stop.

The next day, we went back to the area and talk to several residents. One person pointed us to the dog owner’s house and there, we found the dog under a neighbor’s damaged structure seeking shelter. We talked to the owner and she told us the dog’s story.

She had Sun-sun during the start of Covid. Sun-sun is a playful dog. He always goes around playing with the neighbors’ dogs across the street, until one morning he didn’t come home. He was not seen for more than a week. Until one day, he showed up with both hind legs paralyzed. “Makalakaw pa kaha ni ug balik?” (Will he still be able to walk again) The owner asked. We also didn’t know. Since the owner do not have the means to seek medication, we asked her - Can we take this dog to a Vet? She agreed and her husband carried the dog to our car.

Sun-sun’s legs were already showing infections and wounds from dragging them on the rough road even on very hot days. The Vet checked him and said he will not be able to walk again. He was given antibiotics and the vet advised that he be put in a cage instead of going around dragging its legs on the streets.

Will you send help to Sun-sun to buy a wheelchair?

It is so sad that people just pass by animals in distress or in need. If only they can talk, they would surely tell us what pain they are going through.

Please 🙏 if you pass by an animal in need, like this cow which was so badly entangled in the rope that its human had tied it with, if only it can speak and ask for your help, it will.

If you pass by an animal in distress, please do not turn a blind eye. Your kindness will surely be rewarded in heaven because these are God’s creatures too.

If there are no irresponsible dog owners, these dogs will never reach the pound. In fact, there will be no dogs suffering at the pound at all. They should be home, being taken cared of and loved.

But thank God, we found a kind soul who stood up for these dogs today. These two dogs were saved from certain death and got adopted.

But in reality, how many more dogs are in hopeless situations everyday? everywhere?

This is Cally.

We named her Cally because we found her in Calceta St. in a canal, in the District of Tagbilaran City Bohol.

On that day, noon time while it was raining, one of our volunteer members was going to rescue another dog when they saw a dog in the canal, wet from the rain, crying and obviously in need of help. They did not hesitate to stop and help the poor dog covered in f***s. The people there said that Cally had been crying and barking all night but sadly no one came to help her.

We thank GOD we found Cally in time. We brought Cally to the clinic immediately, was treated and bathed because she was infested with lice. When Cally was checked by the vet, unfortunately, it was found that Cally is seriously ill and she is already a senior dog but we didn’t lose hope. We are looking for someone or a family to adopt Cally and luckily, Cally was adopted by a family who can be a kind and loving furparent to someone like her. Thank you very much Maam Jhildz Millanes January for adopting and accepting Cally without hesitation. Even though she was sick, you accepted her completely and with your whole family, You took care of Cally and treated her like family.

A few weeks later, Maam Jhildz sadly contacted us and informed us that Cally had gone to the rainbow bridge because of her illness. They were completely devastated. We told them, don't be sad anymore because even though Cally is gone, she still got the love that was meant for her and that's because of you Maam and your whole family.

In Cally's last days, even in the very bitter situation that she was in, in Calceta, she still experienced true love and that was because of Maam Jhildz entire family.

Thank you to the entire family of Maam Jhildz for the love you gave to Cally. We wish everyone is like you.

While we were eating at a fast food in Cogon Tagbilaran City yesterday, a mother dog came to us and seem to be begging us for food. It can be seen that she had just given birth and her body is quite thin and bony. It is very apparent that she is hungry. So we again bought a piece of fried chicken and rice, mixed them and fed to her. Who knows that might be her first meal of the day and waiting for her somewhere are her equally hungry puppies?

We are not posting this for fame. But to encourage everyone to do the same for the sake of our voiceless strays.🙏 It’s very hard when you're hungry and can't speak at the same time.😔💔

Remember before Deciding to adopt or have a Pet, It is a Lifetime Commitment. We cannot discard them like a toy we have gotten tired of. Their lives matter too.

You said he was a burden, that he held you back. Now, he sits in his kennel, food untouched, eyes reflecting the emptiness. Was it the walks you hated? The sloppy kisses? He waits by the door, tail thumping against the cold concrete. Hours turn to days, days to weeks. Still, he waits. His love, a silent plea for your return.

He doesn't deserve this. Think twice before bringing a furry friend home. Love is a lifetime commitment, not a disposable accessory.

Please do a little act of kindness for the voiceless today 🙏

We just saw a post from one of the group pages about Dogs and Cats here in Bohol, where a dog (we later named Rocky) was tied with a dirty rope around his neck. There was garbage around him. There is no roof, so even if it rains or the sun is scorching hot, he is totally exposed to the harsh weather. Sad to say Rocky has been there since he was a puppy (at almost 8 months old). Rocky has rough skin and was very skinny. No food, not even water to drink. Not fed for days and was just left there alone.

BASI (Bohol Animal Sanctuary, Inc.) gathered together to help the poor dog. We went to take Rocky so he can be in a safe place. We told the owner not to adopt another dog if they can not take the responsibility of caring and providing for these animals, because animal neglect is a crime punishable by law. They promised that they would not. They also surrendered Rocky to us without any problem.

We immediately took Rocky to a veterinary clinic to treat his skin problems, fed and bathed him. Rocky was confined for a few days. While Rocky was at the clinic, we tried looking for someone who could adopt Rocky but sadly, no one came forward. So BASI volunteers decided to adopt him.

Step and Maria gave this dog the love and care that he had never experienced since he was born into this world. Slowly, Rocky became a very playful dog. He is now a handsome strong and happy dog. He is very lucky that he has found fur parents who are ready to give him the love and care that he deserves.

Let’s do this Bohol!
We would like to invite our local government units (LGU) to go hand in hand with the private sector to sponsor spay and neuter drives in every municipality of Bohol, instead of catching stray dogs and killing them after a few days if no one comes forward to claim them.

1,900 SPAYED/NEUTERED IN 3 MONTHS! 💚

In the first three months of this year alone, PAWS has spayed and neutered a total of 1,900 cats and dogs!

Kapon is a core advocacy of PAWS, aiming to promote animal health, curb pet homelessness, and address the growing number of strays in the country.

Our combined efforts through the KabaliCAT program, Kapon for All Pets program, Spay Day, various medical missions and outreaches, and the PAWS’ Low-Cost Kapon Clinic reflect our commitment to animal health and welfare.

Huge thanks to our dedicated team, hardworking veterinarians, and everyone supporting these initiatives for being responsible pet owners— your actions are truly making a paw-sitive impact! 🐾

Let’s keep up the good work in caring for our furry friends and fighting pet homelessness together!

———

Your support is invaluable for us to continue our various programs and projects. We hope you can kindly consider donating to PAWS so we can sustain and further these efforts. 💚
