Animal shelters exist because too many pets have no safe place to call home. In the Philippines, the need is especially urgent: countless dogs and cats are left on the streets, vulnerable to hunger, disease, and cruelty. Older animals are often the first to be abandoned. They deserve care, dignity, and comfort in their later years. That’s why creating a shelter that welcomes senior animals is so important: it gives them a second chance at life, love, and peace.
