Animal refuge team working
to educate dog owners

One of the cute bulldogs currently living at the shelter until a loving permanent home is found.

Hello,
My name is Lucy Wong, co-manager of the Animal Refuge Team based in the Philippines. We currently have adorable bulldogs in our shelter looking to be adopted into forever loving homes.

Our mission is to provide temporary care and shelter for stray, abandoned and relinquished animals and to place as many as possible into responsible and caring homes.

The Animal Refuge Center also works to create awareness and support for the humane treatment of all animals and to end animal over-population through education and the promotion of spaying and neutering.

Please click on our website address to visit us and view pictures of our available dogs. For adoption, please contact us at the email address: animalrefuge@2itb.com or visit our website for more information: http://www.zyworld.com/bullfoster/Home.htm. - Lucy Wong, Online Animal Adoption

Hello Lucy,
Congratulations on the good job you are doing there and also on the education you are offering dog owners and owners of other pets as well. I sense that there is a great need for such a service. I hope there are other dog rescue organisations in the Philippines as well and would love to know if you also rescue other breeds?

I know the readers would love to hear more about the work you are doing there and a little about the refuge and its policies, how you are financed, if you are all volunteers and such questions. Any information you can send me would be much appreciated.

You have some very lovely little bulldogs there right now - I hope that they are able to get new permanent homes with loving families. - Ed
