Every Life Matters
Peggy adopted
Peggy has found her forever home! She is now starting a new chapter filled with belly rubs, long walks, and endless cuddles.
A huge thank you to Alfred Paculba and his family for opening their hearts and home.
Every adoption makes room for another rescue in need. You can check them out here.

Eleanor
The absolute best thing about this work, is finding the best homes for our rescues! While, of course, the Sanctuary is better than life on the streets, it's now overcrowded and dilapidated.
The dogs and cats get the best care we can give them because of your support, but nothing tops having a good loving home.
This is what Eleanor got yesterday!
After 1,145 days at the shelter, she now has her own family and a beautiful big home.
We rescued her on Christmas Eve, 2021 from the local pound, just before she was about to be euthanized.
Her stay at the Sanctuary all that time has been supported by her sponsors Tiara and Ruddi. Thank you so much for being her surrogate family.
Her new home is on a neighboring island, which was a 10 hour round trip. But so worth it to look at her enjoying her new home.
Just 2 hours after we left her, she had claimed the couch!
Thank you Cristina and family for making Eleanor's dream come true.

We were thrilled when orli was adopted in October 2024 to a family that fit all our criteria. However, you can never know for certain how good a home it will turn out to be.
Last week, the adopter messaged us saying he was bringing Orli - renamed Jasper back to the shelter.
He said Jasper was chewing slippers and destroying neighbors' plants, and he wasn't going to train him not to do it.
There are times when adoptions don't work out for various reasons, but what is confusing is when people are surprised that puppies act like puppies!
They chew everything, especially if they are not given enough stimulation, exercise, and attention.
Jasper's adopter never asked for help or told us there was a problem - they just gave up on him right in the middle of the Distemper outbreak.
Luckily, Crystal, our dog trainer, took him in and rehabilitated him for free at her home so he was not exposed to Distemper.
We called him Orli again as he didn't respond to the name Jasper.
We are happy to report that we believe Orli found his perfect home with Eunice, Philam and little JJ. They added him to their family on 11 January 2025.
He has a massive garden to run around in and has also gained two siblings, DAS adoptees Ori and Gailen, who Eunice adopted a few weeks ago.
It's wonderful to see these three rescues having fun and just being dogs.
Thank you so much Eunice and family, for giving Orli his third chance at the life he deserves!
Myla Marigold adopted
We are happy to report that Marigold and Myla were adopted today!
Because of the Distemper outbreak at the Sanctuary we've not been able to get any dogs adopted. But Marigold and Myla were staying at the vet house so they were never exposed to Distemper. On 10 January 2025, they were adopted by Romy Pangilinan and family!
