PLEASE HELP US WITH OUR RESCUE & RELIEF

OPERATIONS FOR THE FLOOD VICTIMS DUE TO

TYPHOON SENDONG IN THE PROVINCES OF

CAGAYAN DE ORO AND ILIGAN



 

ANIMALS ARE VICTIMS OF DISASTERS, TOO.

In times of disaster, it's not only humans that suffer. Or shall we say, humans suffer more because on top of their personal tragedies involving loss of life of family members, their animals - who are either companion animals or farm animals -their source of livelihood are also affected.

PAWS helps distribute human relief along with animal relief.  Hopefully, those groups that distribute human relief will also aid an animal and give relief to it when the situation permits it.

PAWS' volunteer veterinarian, David Arceo, flew to Cagayan de Oro last Dec 19, 2011  to check on the situation. He  distributed the little dog food and animal feed that he brought with him to the animals that survived..

On January 3, 2012 PAWS volunteers are back in Cagayan de Oro and Iligan to distribute relief goods for the animals left homeless and orphaned by the floods.



Some lucky families (like the one in the photo below with PAWS volunteer veterinarian Dave Arceo) managed to stay together with their pets at the evacuation center. Transporting donations in-kind is expensive so the Team bought all the pet food in Cagayan de Oro.



PAWS is also meeting with local private and government veterinarians about extending the deadline for the euthanasia of collected "stray" animals as the dogs may be owned pets whose owners cannot yet come back for them.
