A day after Taal Volcano’s eruption, the PAWS Disaster Team went around the areas affected by heavy ashfall to give food and water to animals in need. They found a number of dogs, cats, and livestock left behind by fleeing owners. The team promises to come back to help the tired, hungry, and stressed animals. They are also calling for donations to be sent to the PAWS Animal Shelter.

Good Samaritans on the internet

There are organizations ready to help our furry friends in need and there are also normal people opening their doors, volunteering to help out of the goodness of their hearts. This person’s aunt works at the Tagaytay mini zoo, Residence in Tagaytay. They’re looking for donations in the form of tarps, grass, fruits, and vegetables. This woman in Magallanes, Cavite is opening her kennel for free board and lodging for pets. This guy is rounding up volunteers to rescue abandoned animals in Batangas and he’s also looking for people who are willing to temporarily foster the would-be rescued pets.

Those who know of people with animals but can’t take it with them for evacuation, you can comment on the page’s Facebook post.

Follow PAWS’ directions on how to keep your pets safe during this time of distress. Make it a point to get them to safety and prioritize their health because they only have us to look after them.
