We are a small volunteer-run organization striving to a lead a community in Pasay city, the Philippines, towards better animal welfare. We lead by example – providing toys, treats, nutritious food, walks, playtime and love to animals in the community – and also provide resources that are out of reach of the impoverished community – such as sturdy dog houses for chained dogs, vaccinations, and spay/neuter services. We are also the community’s only access to basic veterinary care, such as parasite control, treatment of wounds and illnesses, flea and tick prevention, and medication for skin conditions like sarcoptic mange and fungal infections.

We also operate a weekly kids’ program in Sarhento Mariano Cemetery. The children in this area live in severe poverty and many do not attend school. Many families are food poor – eating food from the trash, locally known as “pagpag” just to survive – and there is no running water, electricity, or proper sanitation in the cemetery. The mission of the kids’ program is to provide the children in this area with a positive space where they can learn, be happy and confident, and just be kids.
