Finding homes for rescued and rehabilitated animals is a noble yet difficult task, but plenty of individuals and organizations take it upon themselves to advocate for the voiceless and provide animals the care they also deserve.
Non-profit animal welfare organization Pawssion Project is primarily run by volunteers and powered by sponsor and donations. Since 2018, they’ve helped over 2000 animals—everything from spaying and neutering to sheltering and rehoming.
However, finding homes for the dogs and cats they rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome is made more difficult by the fact that the nonprofit is losing the space they are using in Bulacan as a place to shelter these animals. With over 300 rescues in need of a new temporary home, find out how you can help below.
LOSING THEIR HOME
The non-profit often holds events, partners with brands, collaborates with people with platforms, all to raise funding and support for all the animals they house and care for. This has led to plenty of animal lives saved and plenty of adoptions, but it’s not enough. There are more issues and problems nationwide than animal welfare organizations can handle.
Furthermore, in June, Pawssion Project announced that the rented Bulacan land where they were sheltering and taking care of rescues has been bought out to permanent residents, and they would have to relocate. They were able to ask for an extension, but now, time is running out. They’ve put their rescue operations on hold as all hands are on deck to find a new shelter to house over 450 rescued animals. The priority is to find a new permanent space, but since they now only have until end of December this year, they need to clear out and find at least a temporary space for their rescues.
Primarily, they need spaces to house dogs, a separate home for cats, foster homes to shelter some of the rescues, a large enough land to be able to operate, and funding for transport and logistics. Their call for donations and leads have blown up online, and there are a few ways you can help.
HOW YOU CAN HELP
From Shaira Luna to Justin de Dios, plenty have heeded the call to help Pawssion Project achieve their mission of giving abused, abandoned, and neglected animals another chance at a happy life. You can join them by checking out Pawssion Project’s social media pages to get real-time updates and support directly, and you can also do the following:
- Donate (for funding for crates, transport, rent, construction, logistics, gas, electricity, water, animal care, etc.)
- Help them with relocation and resource leads (housing spaces, land, crates, transport vehicles)
- Amplify their call to garner more support and leads (Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, etc.)
While they are currently tackling this emergency, you can support Pawssion Project whenever, wherever you are. You may book a visit to their Bacolod shelter and show some love for the rescues. You can also sponsor a rescued dog or cat and provide the funding for their care and rehabilitation if you can’t take care of them yourself. You can also buy Pawssion Project merchandise. If you own a business or an organization, you can partner with the non-profit for fundraising or adoption events.
More than that, you can volunteer as well to give them some extra hands to help with the work. And—if you’re down, you may adopt and provide some of their rescues a kind, loving home they can call their forever home, giving them a second chance. These animals deserve to live well-lived lives, too.
