Phase 3 of relocating the last 17 rescues of the Salamat Shelter, Samar, in honor of my "spiritual sister" pitbulera and animal lover, Beth Sizemore, is now accomplished. All 17 arrived on June 1 at the IRO Lolo Ali Center. Heartfelt gratitude to the TEAM (you know who you are), the donors from the Philippines, and the U. S. (you too know who you are), and a specific mention to the caretakers at Salamat and Beth's family from the United States and Catbalogan, Samar, who allowed Beth's last wishes to be fulfilled. The 17 are now in quarantine and transition as we do health assessments with the center's in-house vet, Dr. Efren Aleguen, and provide any immediate health care. As you will see from this brief video, the first Samar dogs (Vandolph, Twinkle, Bantay, and Butter Cup) are fully integrated with the Cebuano LAC dogs. Not in the video is Lights who also is integrated now. (Published by Nena Hernandez.)
