A collection of inspiring moments and milestones from the animal welfare community — from successful rescues and adoptions to impactful projects and collaborations. These stories highlight compassion in action and the shared goal of creating a kinder, more humane world for animals.
Meet Ala and Lyndon, the heart and soul behind Moalboal Animal Welfare Outpost (MAWO)! Their dedication and resourcefulness have made MAWO a haven for our furry friends in the beachy town of Cebu. Most of the dogs in MAWO shelter were the dogs they have saved from impounding, and a few feline friends that needed refuge from the cruelty they were facing.
During our recent visit, we were deeply impressed by the shelter's organization and care for their rescues. MAWO boasts well-managed quarantine areas, ensuring the health and safety of newly arrived animals awaiting spaying/neutering or needing extra care. Their push for adoption has resulted in a roster of healthy, loving dogs eager for forever homes. They even have dogs who are already bound to their forever homes abroad very soon!
