There are many misconceptions out there, but the truth is spaying and neutering can greatly benefit not only your pet’s health and well-being but also the stray animals in our community. It helps reduce the number of animals on the street and ensures a better quality of life for all.

Every day, countless strays are fighting just to survive another day. 💔 It breaks our hearts to hear reports of people throwing rocks or using hot water to shoo them away.

💡 Did you know that the Philippine Animal Welfare Act (RA 8485) protects animals, including strays? Cruelty to them is punishable by fines and imprisonment. Their lives are hard enough. If you can’t give them food or offer shelter, at least don’t hurt them.

As much as we want to help every stray, we’re not capable of doing it alone. We rely on donations, and our temporary shelter can only house a few. You can make a difference by choosing kindness, supporting efforts to control the stray population through spaying and neutering, or donating whether in-kind or monetary.

Happy National Aspin Day! 🐕🐾

Today, we celebrate the love, loyalty, and resilience of Aspins—the original dogs of the Philippines. These incredible pups remind us that true beauty lies in the heart, not in a pedigree. Every Aspin has a story, and each one deserves a happy ending.

Thank you to all who have opened their hearts and homes to these amazing dogs. For those who want to celebrate aspins’ day with us, you may donate here:

We would like to celebrate some excellent news from Vet Mission Boracay! It was the biggest vet mission ever held in the Philippines with 71 volunteer veterinarians in attendance! A total of 1,265 animals were serviced with spaying/neutering, rabies vaccinations and deworming! Bravo Vet Mission Boracay for making such a big difference for the island animals and their owners! We hope that this amazing feat will help in curbing the animal population humanely, and keeping the island rabies-free. Congratulations and thank you to the organizers, LGU, veterinarian and vet assistant volunteers, and volunteers! Thank you also to the sponsors and donors for your compassion and care.

You might think a simple Php 10 doesn’t make a difference, but when combined with other donations, it adds up and truly helps. Your generosity brings joy to a rescued dog with its first meal in days, provides warmth to a stray with a safe place to sleep, and makes countless other heartwarming moments possible. ♥️

With typhoon sea*on upon us, the rain has been relentless, and our hearts ache for all the strays struggling without a home. Amidst this downpour, Nabaoy shelter faced severe flooding.

Thankfully, JP from shelter had just completed a bigger shelter on higher ground to support the 30 dogs that had been rescued from euthanasia at the pound. Many of these dogs are from .

JP hired workers to relocate the metal materials from the small existing shelter while he and his partner moved all 30 dogs one by one in crates to their new, more spacious home. (Can you imagine carrying heavy dogs through flooded grounds?) 😣

The truth about caring for and saving animals is that it’s incredibly hard to do alone and without support.

BAARC is financially helping Nabaoy by buying food and medicines and sending food scraps from restaurants. But we need your help to continue this effort.

🌟 How You Can Help:

1️⃣ Monetary Donations: Every small amount helps! Even a few pesos can add up to buy a sack of dog food, which costs about Php 2,500. Every bit of support makes a difference.

2️⃣ Food Donations: You may donate in kind. Please contact us for arrangements.

3️⃣ Restaurant or Hotel Sponsorship: Donate food scraps or sponsor meals for the shelter dogs.

4️⃣ Spread the Word: Share this post to reach more animal lovers.

Let’s come together to ensure these dogs get the love and care they deserve. ❤️

🐾 BAARC HERO OF THE WEEK 🐾

Meet Cris, our extraordinary Hero of the Week! Cris works at Percy Seafood Boracay, where she not only feeds and provides water to the local strays but also opens her heart and home to them. One notable example of her kindness is when she adopted a stray that had been captured by dog catchers.

Cris's dedication to animals is truly heroic. She went above and beyond for one particular stray, Piya, whose heartbreaking story has touched many of us. Piya was partially disabled, suffering from mange, and extremely malnourished. Since January, Cris has been diligently feeding Piya, sometimes even searching near Balabag Church just to ensure she had food.

Recently, Cris noticed that Piya's health was deteriorating rapidly. She reached out to BAARC for assistance in rescuing Piya. Cris didn't stop there; she personally assisted us in securing Piya and brought her to the veterinarian. Piya, who is wary of people, trusted Cris completely, making the rescue possible. It turned out that Piya had erlichiosis, a deadly tick parasite, and Cris saved her in the nick of time.

Cris also singlehandedly raised funds to cover Piya's vet bills. She reported a dog in need, rescued her, and fundraised for her care—proving herself to be a true all-in-one hero.

Cris's unwavering love and proactive efforts for the strays make her a beacon of hope and inspiration. We hope many others will follow in her footsteps and become heroes to the strays just like her.

Would you or know anyone who would like to volunteer?

If you are unable to volunteer that’s no problem, but please take a minute to share this post so others may see 😊🐾🫶🏼

We need volunteers! There are many ways to help. You can pick and choose from any of these options. Options on the top row ideally have to be in Boracay or Aklan, options in the bottom row can be from anywhere😊 Please send us a message or comment here if you are interested. We hope to hear from you!

In January, a local resident spotted Piya (named that way because she is pi-yang in Aklanon /pilay / disabled) wandering the streets and beaches of Boracay. Her hind leg was injured and could no longer be used. She was painfully thin, and she was covered in wounds from severe skin issues. The compassionate local started feeding her but noticed her health was deteriorating.

Finally after 7 months, with the help of the local who fed her, we were able to secure her. Upon bringing her to the vet, it was discovered that she was diagnosed with erlichiosis, a deadly disease similar to dengue in dogs. She was also dehydrated with low sodium and has kidney problems.

Imagine Piya’s life on the streets: hungry and in pain, with no one to care for her, constantly searching for her next meal or a place to hide from danger. The constant uncertainty and fear have left their mark on her.

Despite everything, Piya still has hopeful eyes. 🥺

🧡How You Can Help🧡

We need your support for her continuous medical needs, future vet bills, spaying, mange medications, and food.

🏥 We would also like to extend our heartfelt thanks to Roldan Veterinary Clinic Boracay for taking care of Piya and offering a discount to BAARC.

Please mention Piya when you share a screenshot of your donation. 🙏🏻 Even Php 5, 10, 20, or whatever amount you can spare will help Piya immensely.

Thank you so much.

Did you know? ☺️

Mystery Eyes: All kittens are born with enchanting blue eyes? It’s like nature’s way of giving them a touch of magic from the start! 🐱✨

Color Shifters: As kittens grow, their eye color often changes. Those captivating blue eyes may turn green, amber, or gold, revealing their true colors around three months of age. It’s like watching a tiny wizard transform right before your eyes! 🌈🔮

Reflective Charm: Kittens’ blue eyes have a special reflective layer called the tapetum lucidum, which helps them see in low light. This is why their eyes can seem to glow in the dark—perfect for nighttime explorations! 👀🌟

Genetic Wonders: The rea*on for those mesmerizing blue eyes at birth is the lack of melanin in their irises. As they grow and develop, melanin production kicks in, often leading to a change in eye color. It’s a natural kaleidoscope in the making! 🔬🌟

We are still raising funds to create a safe and loving cat shelter! 🏠🐱 Your donations will help us provide a warm home and the best care for our furry friends.

‼️We only have 2 months left in our temporary shelter. 😣‼️

In order for BAARC to make a big impact on the island and save as many dogs and cats as possible, WE NEED LAND. Please let us know of any land for lease on the island, preferably more than 500 square meters. It goes without saying that we hope the rent will be as cheap as possible as we are run by volunteers and rely on donations only.

The current land we are on is only borrowed and we only have two more months to stay there. It can also only hold 20 dogs, and there are so many dogs and cats in need that are being reported to us.

Please, help us find land. Help us in helping the dogs and cats in need. 🤍🙏🏻

If you want to help in other ways, we also need:

- Donations in cash or kind
- Physical and online volunteers
- Veterinary supplies and medical care
- Construction materials for roofing and enclosures

Thank you! 🤍

“When you’re ready to give all the cuddles, but the volunteers are a no-show... 😔🐾”

We rely on volunteers to keep our shelter running and your help is crucial to providing these pups with the love and care they need.

Our daily schedules are:
➡️Breakfast Feeding
➡️Dinner Feeding
➡️Lunch Shift (only for the youngest puppies, but great for leash practice and walking the dogs in cages if we have enough volunteers)

Additionally, socialization is vital for these dogs to improve their chances of finding a forever home. Spending time with them helps build their confidence and makes them more adoptable.

If you have a passion for animals and some time to spare, please reach out and volunteer. Every little bit helps and makes a big difference in their lives.
