What a great morning at Valencia! 10,240 pesos in donations and 3 adoptions!  Siblings Imani and Ivanna went home together and their sister India also found her home!!
Thank you so much for adopting our rescues and to those people who came to show their support and donated.
We are truly grateful!
Later in the afternoon we had a visit from Sander, who came to Dumaguete from Quezon City specifically to visit the Sanctuary and brought 2 sacks of food. It was lovely to meet you and show you around!

Olga, Noel and Abby not only adopted Kizzy (now called Leena) on 26 February 2024, they also adopted old Roberto.

Kizzy was found dumped outside the Sanctuary, petrified and alone.  Olga immediately fell in love with Kizzy, who resembled a dear pet who passed away.

We found Roberto in January 2024 this year, lying in a field, virtually blind and with limited mobility. He's a really sweet boy who just likes to eat, sleep and potter around when he feels like it.
Look at his smile when he got to Olga's!  It's wonderful when we find a home for our seniors, they finally get to know what it's like to have their own family.
If you are considering giving an old dog a home please note that we cover all medical costs for our adopted senior dogs for the rest of their lives.

Monte – Adopt a Stray

On 25 February 2024, under our "Adopt a Stray" programme, we rescued an adult dog who could not walk.  He was very placid and docile, which may mean he had owners previously.  His reporters agreed to adopt him when he is well, and we called him Monte.

We investigated his mobility issues, which over time disappeared, so maybe just some passing trauma.  We got him well fed and ready to begin his new life with his reporter.  He's still quite shy, but we're sure he'll settle down in his new home away from the noisy chaos of the Sanctuary!

Fernee – Adopt a Stray

On 22 February 2024, under our "Adopt a Stray" programme, we responded to an emergency call for a young hit-and-run victim we called Fernee.  She could not move her back legs and was in great distress.

She also tested positively for Parvovirus, so she had a lot to contend with.  She pulled through, and after a few treatments of laser therapy on her back and legs, her mobility began to improve.  Just a month later she was returned to her reporters who had agreed to adopt her at the time of her rescue.

She is still a little wobbly, but a massive improvement on where she was just a short while ago.  Wishing you all the best Fernee!

Angela, now Shiva, was found on the side of the road on 11 February 2024 with one eye popping out, likely as a result of an impact from a car or motorcycle.  She was adopted by Elizabeth ten days later, after a successful operation to remove her eye, and neuter her.  She took a few days to adjust, and kept herself to herself but with patience Elizabeth worked with her to socialise her with her new siblings.
Rescue dogs often need time and patience to adjust - sometimes a few weeks or months.
