Adoption

Milo Adopted!

Milo Adopted!

Milo was surrendered to the city pound for apparent aggression. Being a Belgian Malinois, he requires proper and appropriate training, which it appears he never received.  We sent him to a professional trainer for three months, and looked for a new owner with the knowledge, patience and skill to continue to train him as a working dog.
We had hundreds of applicants who wanted to adopt Milo, but none of them understood what a Belgian Malinois needs in terms of exercise and stimulation.
Until a few weeks ago! After a thorough screening process we're confident that we've found the perfect adopters for Milo. And he even gets to live in paradise 🌴
We're going to miss you so much Milo, but we wish you all the happiness in the world with your new family.

You can read all about Milo on his profile page here.

Two kittens adopted!

Two Kittens Adopted!

Peanut adopted

We don't normally accept kittens and cats at the Sanctuary, as the atmosphere with 150+ dogs must be terrifying, so we are really delighted that these two little ones were adopted today by Phoebe and Jessa!  The little tabby will need to have the eye removed - which we will cover the costs for - but otherwise they are both set for a long and happy life off the streets!

Another Sunday at Robinsons Mall Dumaguete, and another wonderful response from the public, with Vera, Paulie and Puck all adopted.  We also received 13,240 pesos in donations and some much needed items.
Thanks as always Estella for making these adoption drives happen and also to Gemma and Yorica for working so hard to get our puppies adopted.
Please rest assured all adopters are screened and we follow up for three months to ensure they are being looked after.

Marley Adopted!

Marley Adopted!

Marley now

We have some wonderful news to share. A foster FAIL!!!!
Our adoption manager Estella and her husband Paul, have been fostering little Marley for months. Marley was rescued as a puppy in January this year as someone had poured either hot oil or hot water over her head and ears. She was in a sorry state when we first got her.
She needed one-to-one care so was first fostered by Corri and then by Emma until Estella and Paul took over her care.
Her ears were in bad shape for months and are still not one hundred percent. We didnt have any luck finding an adopter and today Estella and Paul announced they would be keeping her as they couldnt imagine not having her around.
She will join their increasing rescue brood of 6 dogs ( four from DAS) 5 cats and two birds!
We can't thank you both enough!
Welcome to your new forever home Miss Marley Chris Petersen.

Teresa and Judy Adopted!

Teresa and Judy Adopted!

Some of you may still remember Teresa's adoption a few months ago.
She was adopted by Jen and Jack but despite their best efforts, Teresa escaped. Thankfully we found her, and brought her back to the Sanctuary to decide how to move forward.
Despite what happened, Jen and Jack never gave up on Teresa. They visited her at the Sanctuary twice a week to form a bond with her, before attempting to bring her home again.

While doing this for a couple of months they also made a connection with Judy, so they decided to adopt both of them!   This adoption took place last week and both Teresa and Judy have settled in perfectly

We are so lucky to have people like them who have the patience to do what it takes to make a dog comfortable, in order to give it a better life.
