Every Life Matters
Paco Adopted
We had three adoptions over the last couple of days - one of our own Sanctuary dogs Paco and two dogs from our Adopt a Stray Programme.
Paco went to live with David and his family on 1 February 2024. They have adopted from us before (2 puppies) so we know Paco is going to a good home. He's already settling in with his new family. Thanks so much David!!

On 27 January 2024, a black puppy was found on the street, very weak and near to death. Under our Adopt a Stray Programme, we rescued her as her reporter agreed to adopt her once she had been returned to health by us. Her rescuer Aliah called her Cherry. She had Parvovirus, but is now fully recovered. She was collected on 1 February 2024 ready to embark on a new life full of love and hope.

Puti
On 31 January 2024, under our "Adopt a Stray" programme, we took in an older stray dog that one of our significant local sponsors wanted to adopt, as they wanted to give him as comfortable and happy as they could for his final years. They called him Puti.

We took blood tests and checked him for Parvovirus and Distemper. He was just in a state of lethargy and undernourished. We bought him back to strength, give him all his shots and neutered him, before handing him back to his reporter to live out a normal, healthy life.

Lugaw (which is a type of Filipino breakfast porridge!) was reported on 7 January 2024 in the Escano area of Dumaguete City. She was in poor condition generally, but the worst of her problems was the severe neck wound probably caused by a chain or collar that was on too tight, possibly since she was a puppy.

We have had a number of rescues over the years with similar thoughtless wounds, but the prognosis is good, as once the wound is cleaned, and the risk of infection is kept under control, the skin and fur often grows back, as can be seen with Alix. On 31 January 2024, she was returned to the people who agreed to adopt her, who will make sure she never has to be chained again.

Bhodi
After yesterday's sad news about Mikay, we have some good news. Remember the abandoned dog Bhodi? We ended up taking him to a second potential adopter but again, the fence was not appropriate. It just wasn't high enough. Finally, on 29 January 2024, Angel, one of our vet assistants decided to adopt him and called him Rambo. He settled right in with her other dogs and is having a great time!
