Just when we thought the Philippines had suffered more than their fair share of disaster in 2020, they’ve been subjected to yet more adversity this week with dangerous flash floods.

2020 has already proved to be a challenging year for the people and animals of the Philippines, with volcano eruptions, earthquakes and now the COVID-19 pandemic, but our work supporting the dogs must continue…..

Cheska is one of the dogs we rescued from the area devastated by the Taal Volcano. She was just too small and helpless to leave and so she came back to the IWCT Treatment Centre to be looked after by our team.

Introducing Buddy, the OAP (Old Age Pooch) we found at Christmas. Buddy has had an extremely difficult life but he is now finally safe in our centre where he can get the treatment he so desperately needs. After only two months he has made amazing progress and is already a lot happier!

On the 13th of January Taal Volcano in the Philippines began to gush lava after a sudden eruption of ash that forced those within a 14km radius to be evacuated. Sadly, as people were forced to flee so quickly, many animals have been left behind.

A little look into the lives of the dogs at our treatment centre where we have more than 10 dogs currently in our care. Some of them are now available for adoption after having made amazing transformations!
