Rafael

On 3 November 2024, we were sent this video of some people here in the Philippines who really do care.
Rafael was seen stuck in a river by some boys who messaged us and tried to get him out.  Rabies is a serious threat here, and because most people are not vaccinated, people are understandably cautious.
Yet despite their fears, these boys went in and got Rafael out.
We picked him up immediately, did the full range of tests and found he was in acute kidney failure. He also had a lot of wounds over his body.
We put him on meds and painkillers and made him comfortable. He passed away peacefully 3 hours later.
Thank you, Reme, and friends for trying to save him.
Thank you to everyone here who really does care for animals, feeds strays, and does the best they can with what limited resources they have.
Run free Rafael.
