Recently, we moved near the beach. And we loved walking along the shore every morning and afternoon with Sam and Sofia (our dogs). This place is so serene that it’s rare that you’ll see other people at the beach. Though, we’ve noticed that there are a lot of Aspins (filipino dogs) roaming around.
Most of the dogs look unhealthy and sickly (the usual condition for local dogs here in my country). And most are severely infested with fleas.
I was thinking that time that the owners of the dogs are such irresponsible people that they just let their dogs suffer like that.
Then, after a week, I’ve noticed these 4 dogs. They sleep every night at the beach near our fence. And it seems like they have no proper home. They just walk around the shore, scavenging food and fighting over it when they found a bit.
So, I started giving them some of our leftovers from lunch and dinner and let them in our home at night. Then, they would go in the morning and just roam around the beach again.
I kept doing this for a few days. After just 3 days, these 4 dogs stayed all day inside our home and never want to leave again. And so, I thought of just adopting them since it seems that nobody would ever claim them.
This is Bonnie (she's too bony). She's the most malnourished dog among the four.
This one, we called him Grouch. He looks really old and grouchy.
This is Moody. He always has mood swings.
And this is Smiler. She smiles with her teeth out. We were frightened of her at first, but, we eventually got it. She lets her teeth out when she's happy.
We continued to take care of them. We have them checked by the vet, 2 of them are severely dehydrated, and all are malnourished. The vet gave us some vitamins and electrolytes to hopefully get their health back in shape in no time.
Then, we bathe them and gave them treatments for their flea infestation. And bought them proper dog food. Now, we have a big sack of dog food (more on our monthly budget, haha).
I’m just so happy that my BritGuy is really supportive of this. He loves animals too. And like me, he can’t bear to see them suffering. It’s really nice that he is more than willing to share what we can to save these unfortunate dogs.
And we will try to take in more stray dogs. So, my Britguy, work more! We’ve got a lot of dogs to feed! :p
This our shout out to everyone, please adopt some stray animals as much as you can and give them a better home because no one deserves to be homeless. And also, let’s all fight against the killing of these animals in dog pounds, they are the most loyal companion that you can ever have and they deserve to enjoy life.
I would love to hear what you think!I’ll definitely appreciate and respond to all your comments. Thanks! 😉
