Our dearest Lolo Kristoff 🥹🫶🏼
He’s one of our oldest rescues at Balay Pawssion, saved from deathrow at the pound many years ago.
We have already accepted the fact that he may never be adopted anymore because we have a hard time looking for home even for younger rescues.
But we commit to giving him all the love and care he’s always deserved here at the shelter.
But we cant do it on our own, especially with 800+ rescues. Everyday we continue to receive so many rescue requests, people wanting to surrender their pets and we continue to pray for the strength to say no. Because of rescues like lolo Kristoff. Because we cannot afford to take in rescues and have days when we cannot even feed all of them. Food and shelter are the bare minimum.
We’re just a non governmental organization trying to not just sustain but improve the lives of the rescues under our care with no funding from the government. Everyday, we find ways to make them feel loved and cared for and address their medical needs. Many of them never make it to social media because we know how overwhelming it is to see calls for help every single time.
But we’re slowly sharing with you the rescues under our care who need help and support. People with pets especially seniors will understand that ₱1000 is not enough for supplements, vet visits and special diet and other needs monthly. But even that sponsorship cannot be met for so many of them.
As of today, just 70+ out of 800+ rescues have found a monthly sponsor. That means the whole team needs to find ways and means to sustain the rest without compromising their needs.
But we have always believed in the power of collective effort.
As we turn 8 years next month, and Lolo Kristoff probably 15 or 16, we pray more people will consider sponsoring a rescue. That more people will continue to support existing rescues and not just new ones. That more people will understand why shelters cant just take in and take in because there are existing rescues who deserve more than just food and shelter.
Please consider sponsoring lolo Kristoff or any other senior at the shelter. They deserve the best.
He just moved in to our seniors space yesterday and we’re so happy to see him more comfortable now 🥹
