He was more than eager to get out of his kennel, probably in the hope that he had finally found a new home. Van Damme was abandoned at the shelter about a year and a half ago. He is kept in a separate den from the other dogs. But don’t let his isolation give you the wrong impression—Van Damme is one of the friendliest dogs at the shelter. It’s just that he’s very affectionate, and sometimes, he wants all the attention. He would be perfect as an only dog in the family. He’s a very energetic male dog, and will appreciate daily exercise.

(Photos below) Last month, PAWS held an animal welfare lecture at UP Diliman, and featured a shelter dog and shelter cat for adoption. One of our volunteers, Angelica, fell in love with the shelter cat we featured, "Palma," and decided to adopt her. Angelica is a dog person so we gave her a crash course on kitty care that day. After a stop at a pet supplies store to get the basic kitty stuff, Palma finally came home :) *Note: We just found out from another PAWS volunteer Celine that Palma's shelter name was "Zoe." Angelica has renamed her to "Hyacinth" :P Here's Angelica's account on her kitty adoption. Congrats Angelica and Hyacinth! :) "From "Palma" to "Askat" to "Menggay" to "Hyacinth." "Palma" was the name we gave her on our way to the University of the Philippines that 20th of February 2008 as a tribute to the venue of her first stint as PAWS' shelter cat representative.

Beside him, though, was a colored ball, almost like a bittersweet message from his owner, telling us that he was loved but could no longer be kept. Today, Chubby still keeps that ball near him, waiting for the day when he can happily run around with a human again, ball in mouth. Chubby is about 4 years old, an energetic male. He seems to have some Labrador in his blood, what with his deep brown eyes and pristine white coat. He must have been chubby when he first arrived, which was why he was given that name. Over the months, however, missing a home and initially being set apart from the other dogs in PARC has saddened him and affected his appetite, making him a lot less than chubby nowadays. He has no diagnosed ailments, is fully vaccinated, and is well taken care of by the staff. He’s... http://babybranny.multiply.com/journal/item/51/PAWS_Dog_for_Adoption_Chubby Sun, 2 Mar 2008 12:56:08 -0000 Re-posting: No to Homophobia Most of my closest friends are gay, so this issue is close to my heart. I saw how painful it was for my bestfriend, how he had to stay at my home and then at another friend's home because he had to run away from his homophobic family, who could not accept him. Was "gender" that important, that a family would bear being away from one of their children for a long time? Not knowing if their child was safe, or where he was sleeping that night? Or that they taught their other child to loathe her brother because of his sexual orientation? My mom almost did the same thing to my kid cousin, but I fought her tooth and nail on it.

One of the hosts Rene Jose was reacting to CARA's catch/spay/release program, saying it's not right to catch the strays, neuter them (kapon) and release them back in the streets. And when he asked around for the other minor hosts/guests to give their opinions, nobody opposed him. There were no advantages offered about spaying and neutering of stray cats and dogs. I've been watching the program for the last few months because I find their political commentaries refreshing, enlightening and funny. I am just bothered because first of all, nobody in the show seemed to be interested in the topic. They didn't really care about all the cats and dogs out in the streets, with only one commentator worrying more that he might drive over a stray at night and thus, endanger his own life. Mr. Jose seemed to be more concerned about emasculating ... http://babybranny.multiply.com/journal/item/48/Good_Morning_Kuya_and_Spay_Neuter Mon, 25 Feb 2008 10:48:30 -0000 PAWS Dog for Adoption: JAMMIN' <a style="font-family: arial,helvetica;" rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://i103.photobucket.com/albums/m139/babybranny/Jammin_01.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px;" src="http://i103.photobucket.com/albums/m139/babybranny/Jammin_01.jpg" alt="" border="0"></a>Jammin' Written by Jammin', via her ghostwriter Dr. Kristin Ty Edited by Alya Honasan Photos by Dr. Kristin Ty My name is JAMMIN', and I am so ready for a new home with a very lucky family!

I don't have any medical problems, but I will need some dental work to make my smile perfect again. And as you can see, I do have a great smile!

His eyes are a startling yellow, and they sparkle when he’s happy. His perky ears closely resemble those of a German shepherd—and yes, he will let you stroke them. His light tan hair is thick for an aspin, and very soft. He is healthy, has straight legs, a good back, and a playfully coiled tail. He is missing a few teeth, but that does little to dim the smile of this confident dog.   Evel is a six-year-old male dog who was left at PARC by his human family last November, before they emigrated. Since then, he’s been quietly on the lookout for a new human to keep company. He gets along well with the other dogs, but will not let himself be bullied. After I took him for a walk, he went back to his quarters.

She and her companions greeted me with the customary sniffing and licking while I bolted the gate shut behind me, returning their warm welcome with pats and hellos. Jasmine stayed at my side long after the others had gone off. It was a good start. Jasmine is considered the Big Sister, the dog who has lived at the shelter longest. Elvin, one of PARC's animal caretakers, who has been at the shelter for years, swore that Jasmine was already there when he signed up for the job. PARC veterinarian Doc Ami estimates that she must be at least 5 years old, and has lived at the shelter for about that long.

Here's an excerpt from her post: "Ric O'Barry says: "In October 2006, we witnessed and documented one of the most brutal dolphin captures I've ever seen. It happened in Taiji. It was orchestrated by the Taiji whale museum. These dolphins are captured to meet supply and demand for an ever growing swim-with-the-dolphins program." In the Philippines, dolphin show organizers may claim they aren't purchased from the sea or the drive fisheries...so where did they get the dolphins exactly? The only place I could think of are the aquariums or oceanariums. And where do the dolphins in oceanariums come from? It all boils down to the drive fisheries - the heart of this industry. Screencaptures 22 - 24 are pictures of the same type of dolphin and whale killings going on in other countries. This happens everywhere - perhaps even... http://babybranny.multiply.com/journal/item/38/Screen_Captures_from_the_actual_dolphin_slaughter_in_Taiji_Japan_as_presented_in_a_video_by_Ric_O_Barry Wed, 12 Dec 2007 14:28:34 -0000 PAWS and EII Picket Against the Movers and Shakers Dolphin Show in Metrowalk The organizers of "The Wonderful World of Dolphins and Sea Lions," MOVERS AND SHAKERS, still put up a travelling dolphin show this year, despite receiving information from animal welfare and environmental groups a year ago that these marine mammal shows are inhumane. And from what I heard of their statement to media yesterday, these people with no conscience seem to still not understand that what they're doing is unacceptable to a humane society. I hope a good number of people who were planning to watch this show decided not to after seeing, hearing, or reading about the cruelty behind these shows from the campaigns of PAWS, EII (Earth Island Institute), Kalikasan Society, AGHAM, and PETA on TV news, the newspapers, online blogs, websites, and e-groups, forwarded e-mails, and word-of-mouth. Last year at the same show by Movers and Shakers at the SM Mall of Asia, a mother-and-son pair decided to forego watching the dolphin show after listening to Anna and Trixie's speeches over th... http://babybranny.multiply.com/photos/album/69/PAWS_and_EII_Picket_Against_the_Movers_and_Shakers_Dolphin_Show_in_Metrowalk Mon, 10 Dec 2007 09:55:42 -0000
