Growing up between the Philippines and Australia, I saw firsthand the stark reality for so many dogs and cats in the Philippines. Neglect, starvation, homelessness, abuse.

From as young as I can remember, I wanted to do something about the harrowing situation in the Philippines. With an estimated 12 million strays across the country, I know I can’t save them all. But as the saying goes, “as one person I cannot change the world, but I can change the world of one person”, or in this case, pawson.

With plans for a shelter on Camiguin Island in the near future, our goal is to rescue, rehabilitate and rehome. To re-educate the community. And above all, to give these animals the sense of ‘BARKADA’ they deserve.
