Pele

Where from:

Abandoned

Story:

Pele and his three siblings were abandoned on the road to the Sanctuary and we thought they were all very lucky to be adopted to good homes very quickly. Unfortunately after about 2 years, we received a call from a reporter who said there were two dogs locked on a balcony with no food or water and the owners had left to go abroad leaving someone to feed them. 

When we investigated we realised one of those dogs was Pele and he was with another dog called Nemo (not a DAS rescue). Of course, we had to bring both of them back to the safety of the Sanctuary. Pele was quite aggressive at first, protecting his smaller friend Nemo - what can be expected after such terrible treatment? The nice thing is, he is starting to relax a little and becoming more sociable.

Where from:

Bagacay Cemetery

Story:

Mollie was stray dog living in a local cemetery when she was reported to us by concerned visitors who saw that she had a collar and chain deeply embedded into her neck. The nasty wound was badly infected and so required immediate attention. Mollie was brought to the sanctuary for treatment and is now recovering well although she will always likely have a deep scar.

Where from:

Abandoned near the Sanctuary

Story:

Dumped outside the Sanctuary in two separate batches were the seven 'L'' puppies. Lamar and his brother Lester were found whimpering deep in the middle of a bamboo clump which was so thick it took two days to entice them out.

Lamar's brother Lester has been adopted but Lamar, who is a little shyer has stayed with us, maturing into a sweet young dog with a handsome face. He hangs out with many of the young dogs who grew up with him in the puppy run and is boisterous and growing in confidence every day.

Story:

Lacey and her sister Lexi were found by our Night Guard on his way to work at the sanctuary, They had been dumped by the roadside and unfortunately tested positive for parvovirus when they arrived. Fortunately, they miraculously both recovered from the virus and have been with us at the Sanctuary ever since. They are a close-knit pair, most often found within close distance of each other. They love to go on walks and are very lively and friendly. Lexi is already sponsored but Lacey lost her sponsor a few months ago.

Dumped outside Sanctuary
Story:

Juno and 3 sisters were dumped outside the sanctuary when they were just about a month old. All of the puppies were adopted quickly but unfortunately through no fault of her own, Juno's adoption did not work out and she was returned to the sanctuary. Juno is the sweetest girl who absolutely loves her hoomans especially if you take her out for a walk. She has a faithful companion in one of our senior dogs called Andrew - it's so lovely to see these two dogs together and follow their story.
