What started out as one person caring for half a dozen animals, has become a great deal more. There are hundreds of dogs and cats in this small area of Pasay City, the Philippines, who we do our best to care for with limited finances. Every weekend, the Pasay Pups team volunteers in a impoverished neighborhood to provide basic care to the animals who call this area home, including meeting their ba
sic veterinary needs, such as parasite control, preventing infections in minor wounds, giving flea and tick prevention, and curing skin conditions like sarcoptic mange or fungal infections. We also provide food, love, baths, and walks for chained dogs. Among the most important work we do is provide spay/neuter and vaccination services. All services are provided to guardians at no cost. Not only does this reduce future expenses of caring for this group and help control the population of dogs and cats in the area, it also aids the people who struggle desperately to care for the animals they already have. Spaying and neutering reduces aggression in animals, as well as their risk of reproductive cancers. Most importantly, the people in this poverty stricken area don’t have to worry about feeding litters of puppies and kittens. We also operate a weekly kids’ program in Sarhento Mariano Cemetery. The children in this area live in severe poverty and many do not attend school. Many families are food poor – eating food from the trash, locally known as “pagpag” just to survive – and there is no running water, electricity, or proper sanitation in the cemetery. The mission of the kids’ program is to provide the children in this area with a positive space where they can learn, be happy and confident, and just be kids. You can help us help these children and animals by donating via PayPal (see the button on our main page).
