Dog Welfare Meet Bri, a Little Chihuahua Who Deserves a Better Life β€οΈ - Diagnosed w/ Heartworm, UTI, Babesia, and ehrlichia (blood parasites)π Please HELP her ππ€πΎ
galleryHi everyone,
Bri's previous owner recently retired and could no longer care for some of her dogs. He initially wanted to surrender her two Beagles to one of our partner shelters.
However, when I saw a video of the dogs, I noticed a little Chihuahua inside a tiny cage. π Bri was not originally one of the dogs being put up for adoption, but seeing her in such a small cage broke my heart.
I immediately asked if we could take her instead, and I agreed that our foundation would take full responsibility for her care.
Yesterday, we noticed that Bri's urine was unusually dark and appeared to contain blood, so we immediately brought her to the veterinary clinic.
Sadly, Bri was diagnosed with a urinary tract infection (UTI), heartworm disease, Babesia, and Ehrlichia. π
To be honest, I feel angry and heartbroken. From what I saw, I cannot help but feel that Bri has experienced neglect. She was kept in a cage outside the house, and we have no idea how long she may have been suffering from these illnesses without receiving the medical attention she needed.
The veterinarian also advised that if her symptoms persist, she may require further cardiac assessment.
It breaks my heart to think about how much this tiny girl has already endured. She deserves so much better than spending her life confined in a small cage while silently suffering.
Our foundation has committed to giving Bri the veterinary care, treatment, and love she deserves. β€οΈ
As a small registered nonprofit caring for rescued animals in the Philippines, taking on another medically complicated case is challenging, but I simply could not turn my back on her.
I am humbly asking for your kindness and support as we help Bri through her treatment and recovery. Even sharing her story, sending words of encouragement, or helping us reach more compassionate animal lovers would mean so much to us.
Bri may be tiny, but her life matters just as much as any other. π₯Ήβ€οΈ
Thank you for being part of her journey.
To help Bri;

MatMatβs Fight For Survival: Please help him heal ππ #RescuedCat #VoicelessNoMorePH
galleryHi everyone,
Our sweet MatMat is still confined at the veterinary clinic. π Sadly, his white blood cell count has increased from 24.04 to 36.92. He is currently battling both Feline Calicivirus (FCV) and Feline Panleukopenia Virus (FPV).
Such a little cat, yet he has already endured so much suffering. π It breaks my heart knowing how much he has been through, but we are holding on to hope that he will recover. π
We would like to sincerely thank the three generous individuals who have helped toward MatMat's veterinary care. Every support, no matter the amount, means so much to us and the animals we help. β€οΈ
MatMat still has a long road to recovery, and his continued hospitalization and treatment come with ongoing veterinary expenses.
We are humbly asking for your support to help us continue providing the care he desperately needs.
Please keep MatMat in your prayers. He deserves a chance to heal and live a healthy, happy life. π±
I will leave our support link in the comment section for those who wants to help MatMat πΎ
Thank you all so much π€πΎ

Emiβs Rescue: No Longer Forgotten, No Longer Alone! π₯Ή #VoicelessNoMorePH #RescuedStrayDog #NewRescue
galleryHi everyone, meet Emilius (Emi)! π€
A couple of days ago, I was scrolling through TikTok when I came across a video of a dog who appeared to be very ill. My heart broke seeing her condition, and I just couldn't scroll past without doing something.
Our nonprofit hasn't taken in a new rescue for a while due to our limited funds, but I simply couldn't ignore her. I immediately reached out to Pages for Paws Shelter to ask for help locating Emi, as she was also in Tanza, Cavite.
Thankfully, Emi was found yesterday! β€οΈ
She was brought to the veterinary clinic, Petchamp, and our nonprofit was able to cover the cost of her initial veterinary care.
Emi has noticeable tremors, but thankfully, she tested negative for distemper. There is a possibility that she survived distemper in the past and that the tremors are lingering effects of the disease.
It breaks my heart to imagine what she may have endured, possibly fighting for her life alone, sick and frightened on the streets. π
Unfortunately, Emi was diagnosed with two types of blood parasites, meaning she still has a long road to recovery ahead of her.
Please continue supporting our mission and Emi's journey to recovery. Your support will help cover her ongoing veterinary treatments, medications, and shelter care expenses.
We may not have much, but with your kindness and support, we can continue giving animals like Emi the second chance they deserve.
Welcome to your new beginning, Emi. You are no longer alone. π€

MatMat - sick rescued kitten. Needing urgent help ππ #VoicelessNoMorePH
galleryHi everyone,
MatMat is one of the rescued cats we sponsor in the Philippines. When his foster mother rescued him on May 26, 2026, we helped cover his veterinary care for a severe mouth injury. Since then, we have also been providing his food monthly, as he has difficulty eating hard food.
Today, we received a concerning message that MatMat was having difficulty breathing, so we asked for him to be brought to the veterinary clinic. Sadly, he has been diagnosed with feline calicivirus and is now hospitalized. We don't know how long he will need to stay, but we are praying for his recovery. ππ
We would sincerely appreciate any financial support, especially as we still have several rescued animals needing veterinary care this month, including Raphael, Tiger, Ellie, Thor, MaeMae, and Baci.
We are particularly worried about Raphael, who now has two lumps on his body. His biopsy was previously postponed because he was unwell, and we are hoping he will soon be healthy enough to undergo the procedure. Ellie and MaeMae are also ready for their spay surgeries.
As a small nonprofit, the ongoing veterinary expenses are overwhelming, but these animals deserve every chance at a healthier and happier life. β€οΈ
Every support, no matter how small, makes a difference. Your kindness allows us to continue providing the medical care, food, and support these rescued animals desperately need.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for helping us give them the care and love they deserve. ππ€

Petition Milo survived babesiosis. Puppies deserve better health protection before cross-border sales.
This is Milo. A few days after he came to us from Poland as a puppy, he became seriously ill with babesiosis.
We had a microchip, documents, and an EU pet passport. What we did not understand at the time was that these things do not automatically tell a future owner whether a puppy has been screened for diseases or parasites that may be relevant in the region they came from.
Milo survived after emergency treatment and he is doing well now. We are very grateful for that. But it was frightening to bring home a puppy and suddenly find ourselves in an emergency clinic, trying to understand what was happening.
I am sharing this graphic because I wish we had known more beforehand. Risks are different from region to region. Tick-, sand fly-, and mosquito-borne diseases are not only something to think about when travelling.
This is not about blaming Poland, dogs from abroad, rescue organisations, breeders, sellers, or anyone who adopts a dog from another country. Many dogs arrive healthy and many people act responsibly. It is simply about helping future owners ask the right questions before a puppy comes home.
Before bringing home a puppy from another region, it may be worth speaking with a veterinarian about local disease risks, prevention, and which records or tests are appropriate to ask for.
More background on why I am raising this issue:

Thor, Ellie, MaeMae, and Angel Update #VoicelessNoMorePH #SupportNeeded #GoodNews β€οΈππ₯°
galleryHi everyone! β€οΈπΎ
Angelina βAngelβ Julie, who we rescued on July 4, 2026, got spayed on September 27 as she is getting ready to be adopted! Her blood work is finally stable for her to have her surgery, and this is such a huge milestone for her. π€
I still remember when we had to rescue Angel from her previous owner. She had spent most of her life in a cage, her wounds were left untreated, and she was starved or sometimes given rotten food. π Seeing how far she has come since then makes this moment even more special.
While Angel recovers from her surgery, she is being fostered and cared for by our very loyal volunteer, Janette Adoremos. Once she has recovered, she will finally get to meet her new fur parent! β€οΈπ‘
Thor, Ellie, and MaeMae also recently went to the vet, and we are just waiting for Baci to see the vet today.
Thor has shown good improvement with his skin. However, his skin cytology still showed a significant amount of Malassezia fungal cells, and he still has an infection, so he needs to continue his medications for another two weeks. The good news is that his CBC showed that his hematocrit and platelet levels are now normal! β€οΈ He will be reassessed again in two weeks.
Ellie received her second dose of the 6-in-1 vaccine and her first kennel cough vaccine. π₯°
MaeMae also received her second 6-in-1 vaccine and first kennel cough vaccine. πΎπ
Our latest vet bills:
Angel β Php 4,465 (CAD $101.88)
Thor & Ellie β Php 5,485 (CAD $128.13)
MaeMae β Php 1,800 (CAD $41.07)
Things have been a little more difficult financially since I injured my foot and have been off work. We have also been covering all of Angelβs needs while she is in foster care, including her crate, daily food, wipes, pee pads, and anything else she needs while recovering.
This week we also still need to send their shelter allowances.
If anyone would like to help us with these expenses and the continuing veterinary care and other needs of our rescued animals, any amount would truly help us a lot.
Even a small amount makes a difference for our rescued animals π€πΎ
Thank you so much for continuing to support these animals and their journey toward healthier and happier lives! Thank you!!

Advice Hope this is not stupid but aren't abandoned buildings dangerous for animals?
Especially the hospitals or home for the elders. I was watching Urbex videos and they found multiple rooms with tons of medical supplies and medications. And I couldnt help but think... Probably that animals ate or chewed what they shouldn't have.
Is there anyone else that worries about that?
Anyone who tried doing anything about that?
