These adorable pets are looking for their purmanent home!
Since the pandemic, we noticed that more Filipinos are raising dogs and cats as their companions amid the health crisis. We can’t help it– a single wag of their tails is enough to wipe away our fatigue. If you have not tried raising one yet, then you’re definitely missing out.
However, it is true that adopting a pet is a huge responsibility. It takes careful planning and countless considerations (e.g. your living conditions, financial capability, commitment, etc.) before you proceed to the next step. If you’re aspiring to become a furparent and you’re unsure where to begin, these pet adoption centers around Manila could be a great starting point.
The Philippine Animal Welfare Society (PAWS)
PAWS has been consistent in advocating against animal cruelty. Thus, their primary goal is to rescue animals from abusive owners and give them the gentle treatment they deserve. In order to adopt the animals, PAWS has a strict screening process (rightfully so) to ensure the pets are in good hands.
Ampon Alaga
Ampon Alaga is a passion project under the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) Asia that oversees all rescue and adoption programs in the Philippines. Based in Makati, Ampon Alaga also actively holds budget-friendly spay/neuter surgeries.
CARA Welfare Philippines
CARA Welfare Philippines is an adoption center in Mandaluyong that rescues stray dogs and cats. To adopt from CARA, you may view their website or Facebook gallery where you can get to know each pet available for adoption.
Pawssion Project
Based in Bulacan, Pawssion Project is dedicated to rescuing animals, regardless of breed. They have a separate Instagram account where you can browse through all photos and information about their rescued dogs and cats that are up for adoption.
Lara’s Ark
True to its name, Lara’s Ark serves as a refuge for rescued animals. This animal shelter in Batangas has been at the forefront of saving animals during disasters, such as during the Taal Volcano eruption in 2020 and Typhoon Odette in 2021. Dozens of cute and playful fur babies at Lara’s Ark are waiting for their forever home!
If you are still undecided about adoption, you can opt to donate in the centers/shelters we listed above or foster a dog or cat instead.
