I haven't featured our dogs at the shelter for some time now, and so here are three dogs who are in need of loving homes. Rex maybe named a king but he isn't big at all. I would say he's on the lower end of medium. Rex walks in a dainty way, like he doesn't want his paws spending more than half a second touching the ground, more typical of a miniature pinscher than a pitbull. No problems at all when walking Rex, he's not a puller. You just cruise with him. Rex's face reflects his natural sweetness, loves human contact. However, I don't think he tolerates some dogs. People should come and see this dog. He's definitely a keeper. Now, Duncan, he's more a teddy bear than a dog. He's fluffy, round, and hugable. Duncan's wears a beautiful bronze fur that goes along with his brown eyes and nose. No problems with his temperament, Duncan will be a great addition to any family. I grade Duncan as an A+. Kane, a full-size German Shepherd, has been at the shelter for several months. The larger dogs are harder to adopt out, but Kane isn't a problem to walk at all. You will feel his strength, but most people should be able to handle him. Kane is not rebellious, but very people-friendly. It's too bad he's still at the shelter. A truly handsome dog, Kane should please those who are looking for the typical GSD. UPDATE: Duncan Adopted 03/29/09. Kane Adopted 04/03/09.
Because I belong to an group of animal welfare advocates in the Philippines, I can read the numerous discussions between group members and people who, seems to me, just signed up to make an urgent plea for help. There were two this week who begged for assistance concerning two dogs who were tied up under rain and sun with no food nor water. One was described to be on the verge of a heat stroke. The images that filled my mind disturbed me immensely, but I am also encouraged at the same time. There is a growing number of animal welfare advocates in the Philippines and ordinary citizens are beginning to reject animal cruelty, willing to take personal action against it. Just from this website, I can see from the visitor data that many are seeking information on how to report animal cruelty in the Philippines. You can find my previous post on the subject HERE . Keep in mind that your complaint has legal standing via the Philippine Animal Welfare Act which is also known as the RA 8485 .
