We officially paid PHP 7,400 for 1 month advance + 1 month deposit for the house we rented on August 13, 2026.

Yes, we are relocating our Headquarters soon. While it is still a rental, we are grateful to finally have a place we can call our own for now. The monthly rent is โ‚ฑ3,700, excluding water and electricity, which will be covered by us.

Before we move in, there are still some minor repairs needed. Thankfully, the repair costs will be deducted from our monthly rent, so we can put the money toward improving the place.

GCash: 09193879584
Account Name: Vinzcel C. (Official Fundraiser)

We also need basic things such as light bulbs, extension wires, curtains, buckets, basins, used plates, kitchen supplies, and other household essentials.

If you have any of these items that you no longer use and would like to donate, in-kind donations are very much welcome. Please message us so we can arrange the drop-off or delivery.

For those who would like to help us raise funds for the beginning of this new chapter:

This move is a big step for FurPaws Society, and we hope we can build this new space little by littleโ€”with the help of the community.

A rented space today, but a new beginning for our advocacy. ๐Ÿพ

BIKOY IS NOW ADOPTED!

Bikoy has officially found his new home with Maโ€™am Vibien Pausanos of Oroquieta City. Thank you kaayo for opening your home and your heart to him, despite his age, and for welcoming him as part of your family. We are entrusting Bikoy to your care, and we hope he brings you as much love as you give him.

Bikoy was rescued six years ago from Malaubang, Ozamiz City, after being neglected by his previous owner, and has been lovingly cared for by Maโ€™am M ever since.

To Bikoyโ€™s owner and rescuer, we know this may not have been easy. Thank you for taking good care of him and loving him all these years. This is not the end, but the beginning of a new chapterโ€”for Bikoy and for you. May your home, when everything is okayโ€”including your husbandโ€”be ready to welcome more rescues again someday.

Thank you to FurPaws Society President, Marliz, for Bikoyโ€™s transportation, and to Sha Sha and Sir Vinz for assisting us throughout the trip. Your help made this new beginning possible.

Happy new beginning, Bikoy. May this be the forever home you deserve. ๐Ÿก๐Ÿพ

The day his rescuer saved him was already his second chance at life. For more than six years, he had a home, food, care, regular vaccinations, neutered (Yes, he is kapon already) and someone who chose to protect him.

But now, things have become too heavy, and he is once again waiting for someone to choose him.

He is already entering his senior years. Now, all we are asking is for someone to give him the chance to spend the rest of his life in a safe and loving home.

Please, let his third chance be the one that finally lasts.

โ€œAnimal Welfare Groups Are Not a Dumping Site for Your Irresponsibility.โ€

It took us time to respond because we were carefully choosing our words. However, we have done enough to filter our words so we don't hurt everyone's feelings. People should have done the same level of consideration for the lives depending on you.

So why should we pretend that this is okay?

We are sharing this because situations like this happen far too often, and it is time we re-educate ourselves about what responsible pet ownership really means.

We understand that life changes. Families move. Circumstances change. But here's the uncomfortable question:

Why should your pets be the ones to lose their home because of this circumstance?

If the house you are renting or transferring to does not allow pets, then consider finding another rental that does.

Then you are expecting that these animal welfare groups would take them immediately. Ganyan ba talaga kadali?

Ngano mo oy? Grabe naman sad.

You chose them. They did not choose you.

You decided to bring them into your family. You gave them names. You made them part of your home. They trusted you.

Have you exhausted every responsible option before surrendering them?

Have you looked for another pet-friendly house?

Have you spoken to your landlord?

Have you asked trusted family members?

Have you contacted people within your community?

Have you responsibly screened potential adopters?

Have you given yourself enough time?

Or did you simply reach the point where surrendering them became the easiest option?

Because surrendering them is easy for you.

The difficult part is finding a way to keep the commitment you made.

Paalala lang: Animal welfare organizations are already overwhelmed. We have limited space, limited resources, limited funds, and countless animals needing help.

We are not a dumping site for pets whose owners can no longer accommodate them.

Rescue groups and animal welfare organizations exist to respond to animals in need, not to become the automatic exit plan whenever an owner's circumstances become inconvenient.

And this is not about having no compassion for owners.

We understand that some situations are genuinely impossible.

Look for another place. Adjust your plans. Make sacrifices. Find a way.

Because responsible pet ownership comes with a lifetime commitment.

Not until you move.
Not until you get tired.
Not until your landlord says no.
Not until caring for them becomes inconvenient.

Until the end of their lives.

And please, before you ever bring another animal into your home, think about thisโ€”not twice, but hundreds of times.

Can you really commit?

Can you provide for them?

Can you keep them if your circumstances change?

Will you still choose them when life becomes difficult?

Because they did not choose you.

You chose them.

Their lifespan is already heartbreakingly short compared to ours. They only have a limited number of years to spend with us.

Please don't be the rea*on those years are cut even shorterโ€”or spent wondering why the family they trusted left them behind.

Sama-sama kayo.

Kaunti lang ang lifespan nila. Pinagkait n'yo pa.

Before you get another pet, rethink your capacity.

Before you surrender one, reconsider every possible alternative.

And before you say "wala na kaming choice," make sure you have truly exhausted every humane choice available.

Because sometimes, there is a choice. It's just the harder one.

And responsible pet ownership means choosing them even when it's hard.

"IBA TALAGA NAGAGAWA NG FACEBOOK MONETIZATION. UHAW SA LAHAT NG BAGAY."

Uhaw sa views. Uhaw sa engagement. Uhaw sa pera. Uhaw sa validation.

Pero sa sobrang uhaw sa content, nakalimutan mo bang mga buhay na hayop ang pinag-uusapan mo?

Buying dogs worth โ‚ฑ100,000+ just because owning multiple breeds was a childhood fantasy does not automatically make you a responsible pet owner. Hindi nakaka-flex ang perang ginastos mo kung ang kapalit naman ay stress, confusion, at paulit-ulit na pagbabago ng tahanan para sa mga hayop.

Kung bumili ka lang ng maraming a*o, ipinakita sa social media, at makalipas lamang ang ilang buwan ay ipinapa-rehome o ibinebenta rin dahil naiingayan ka, then ask yourself:

Ano ang naramdaman ng mga a*ong iyon?

They didn't ask to become part of your content.

They didn't ask to be bought because you wanted to fulfill a childhood fantasy.

They didn't ask to be displayed, monetized, and eventually passed from one home to another.

Hindi sila collectibles. Hindi sila accessories. Hindi sila props para sa Facebook content.

At kung creator ka, mas lalo kang may responsibilidad.

Because people are watching you.

May mga batang nakakakita ng videos mo. May mga taong maaaring isipin na okay lang bumili ng napakaraming a*o dahil uso, dahil may pera, o dahil magandang contentโ€”kahit hindi naman handang akuin ang lifelong responsibility that comes with it.

Be responsible for what you normalize.

Facebook monetization should never become an excuse to turn living animals into content machines.

Hindi porke may pera kang pambili ng a*o, ibig sabihin kaya mo na silang alagaan.

Responsible pet ownership comes before flexing.

Before buying another breed, ask yourself if you can provide that animal with a stable home, proper care, veterinary attention, training, time, and commitment for its entire life.

Hindi "hangga't interesting pa ang content."

Hindi "hangga't kumikita pa ang page."

Hindi "hangga't hindi pa ako nagsasawa."

BUHAY ANG PINAG-UUSAPAN NATIN.

So to every content creator: think before you post, think before you buy, and most importantly, think before you involve an animal in your pursuit of fame and money.

Because when the views disappear, the dogs are the ones left carrying the consequences of your decisions.

Animal cruelty is not content. Responsible pet ownership is not a trend. And animals should never have to suffer just because someone wanted to go viral.

Huwag magpaka gago!

Thank you, Maโ€™am Rowena Inojales Garana of Brgy. Bagakay, Ozamiz City, for your generous donation of one sack of DogiBeef Adult Dog Food for our rescued dogs and the strays we feed.

This means so much to us, especially during these challenging days. Your support reminds us that we are not doing this alone and motivates us to keep going with our animal welfare advocacy.

Thank you for standing with us and for being part of this advocacy. ๐Ÿพ

โ€œ1 OF THE 7 RESCUES, IPAPATAY!"
โ€”suggestion sa in-laws

Help us find their forever loving home.

Tungod sa isa ka iro, the other rescued dogs are at risks. Before you give your harsh judgment, please take your time to read and understand.

Gahapon, nitawag sa amo ang gaiyak nga wife nangayo og tabang para sa iyang pito ka rescued dogs.

These dogs have been with her for more than five years. Sila iyang mga rescues nga iyang gipakaon, giatiman, gipavaccine, ug gipadeworm sulod sa mga katuigan. The wife herself has been a dedicated animal welfare advocate who has rescued and cared for more dogs than we can imagine.

But now, she is facing a situation nga dili niya gusto mahitabo.

Her husband was an OFW for 25 years. Ever since he came home last year, things drastically changed and affected his mental health. He has been experiencing depression, anxiety, and sometimes hallucinations, and for about a year now, he has been seeking help from professionals.

Then one night, migawas siya gikan sa iyang room. Nakakita siya og usa sa mga dogs and thought the dog was attacking him.

But the dog was not attacking him.

He kicked the dog, and napaakan siya in the process, leaving him with more than 15 scratches.

The incident resulted in the family paying more than โ‚ฑ6,000 for 19 shots of vaccination.

Afterwards, he called his parents and told them what happened in an overexaggerated explanation.

And their suggestion?

I-dispose ang mga iro. Or better yet, i-surrender sila sa dog pound sa Ozamiz nga tulo ra ka adlaw na sila didtoa taman.

Imagine being the person who rescued and cared for these dogs for more than five years, only to be told that the animals you have loved and protected should now be disposed of or surrendered.

We understand that this is a difficult family situation.

We are not here to blame the husband or invalidate what he is going through. His struggles are real, and he has been seeking professional help.

But these seven dogs are innocent, too.

They did not ask for this situation. They did not understand what happened that night. And they should not lose their lives because of it.

That is why we are now looking for responsible adopters from Ozamiz City and nearby areas who are willing to give these dogs a second chance.

They are already about to reach their senior years. They are not puppies anymore, but they have been regularly vaccinated and dewormed and have been cared for by their owner for years.

We know that adopting older dogs may not be everyone's first choice.

But these seven dogs have already spent more than five years with the same person.

Karon, sila na pud ang nanginahanglan og tawo nga mopili kanila.

Please see each photo for the individual details of every dog.

We are looking for adopters who are genuinely prepared for the responsibility, not someone who will take them out of pity today and surrender them again tomorrow.

If you cannot adopt all seven, even giving one of them a safe and loving home can already make a difference.

And if you cannot adopt, please share this post. Maybe the person who can give one of these dogs a second chance is already in Ozamiz, we just haven't reached them yet.

Because the alternative being suggested is the Ozamiz City dog pound, where their future is uncertain. With the 3-day holding period, they could eventually be put down for good.

Seven rescued dogs. More than five years of someoneโ€™s love and care.

We are asking for your help to make sure their story does not end at the pound.

Please help us find them a second ๐Ÿ˜ข
