WHAT WE DO

What We Do

Our aim is to try to alleviate the suffering of animals in the Dumaguete area.

There are so many stray animals in distress arising from neglect, abandonment, an unchecked population expansion and limited access to adequate veterinary care.

Until an effective Trap-Neuter-Vaccinate-Release (TNVR) plan can be implemented (we are working on this), our aim is to rescue animals, return them to health, and then find suitable homes where they can live out their lives in safety and comfort.

At the moment we are still a very small charity and limited financially by what we can do.

If you see an animal in need please consider what you are willing to do to help first.

Any animal brought into the Sanctuary has to be tested for illness, vaccinated, treated with a broad spectrum de-wormer / anti-mange tablet and also spayed or neutered.  This costs on average 10,000 pesos.  Often a little help from you, including some basic, inexpensive food and medicine, will make all the difference.

WHAT WE CAN DO

  • Rescue and rehabilitate injured stray animals in severe need of help
  • Place animals with adoptive 'parents' for a happy, safe and content life
  • Work with Local and National Government bodies to promote better animal welfare
  • Provide limited FREE veterinary aftercare for our adopted animals
  • Create a community of people willing to help with our mission

WHAT WE CAN'T DO

  • Provide an Emergency Response or 24/7 service
  • Take in people's personal pets or advertise other people's animals for adoption.
  • Take in every stray - only the most severe cases
  • Provide free veterinary care TO EVERYONE - but all our adopted pets are eligible for free consultations, annual vaccinations and spay / neuter when the are old enough.

WHAT WE hOPE WE CAN DO IN TIME

  • Rescue and rehabilitate more stray animals.
  • Extend our Adoption programme to Overseas families.
  • Educate and promote more responsible pet ownership locally.
  • With local government help, develop a Trap-Neuter-Vaccinate-Release (TNVR) plan for healthy local strays
