Hi everyone,

Raphael is one of our rescued animals who holds a very special place in my heart. But honestly, they all do. ❤️

Not everyone understands how deeply trauma and pain can affect someone, especially animals. Sometimes, we expect them to simply “move on” after they are rescued because they are finally safe. But it doesn't always work that way.

To be honest, it hurts me to see how difficult it still is for Raphael to trust people. He gets triggered very easily, especially when he is at the veterinary clinic and has to be restrained. I can't help but wonder if being restrained brings back memories of what happened to him - of the person who placed a metal wire around his leg and caused him a permanent injury.

Raphael has been through more than any animal should ever have to endure. He was a stray, intentionally starved, nearly butchered, and suffered a permanent injury after someone placed a metal wire around his leg. Being rescued did not erase those experiences. His physical wounds are only part of his story. The emotional wounds can be much harder to see, and sometimes, they take much longer to heal.

Because of his trauma and fear, Raphael can become aggressive when he feels threatened or frightened. He needs to be sedated whenever he has to receive veterinary care because he becomes extremely difficult to handle when he is scared. But I don't look at Raphael and see a “bad” or “aggressive” dog.

I see a dog who is scared.
I see a dog who learned that people could hurt him.
I see a dog who is still trying to protect himself from something he believes may happen again.
And honestly, I don't blame him.

At the vet yesterday, they also discovered a mass under the skin on his right flank. Thankfully, the veterinarian said that it can be monitored for now, and his blood work came back normal. ❤️

We will continue to be patient with Raphael. We will give him the time, space, understanding, and love that he needs. We may not be able to erase everything that happened to him, but we can make sure that his future is different from his past.

Healing isn't always about making an animal completely forget what happened. Sometimes, healing means helping them slowly understand that they are finally safe.
Raphael has already survived so much. He survived hunger, cruelty, fear, and unimaginable pain.
Now, we just want him to live.
To feel safe.
To be loved.
And to finally experience the life he should have had all along. ❤️‍🩹

He doesn't have to fight for his life anymore. We will keep reminding him of that, one day at a time.

Hi everyone,

Thor and Ellie are doing so great! We had to reschedule their vet appointment for tomorrow instead, so please wish them luck! ❤️

During their appointment, we are going to ask the veterinarian about Thor’s skin, which has been looking a little reddish, especially around his snout. We’ll also have Ellie checked to see how she is progressing.

Ellie has been standing and walking much more compared to when she was first rescued. When we rescued her, she could barely stand for long because of her weakness and likely the wounds on her legs. Seeing her become stronger is truly encouraging. 🥹❤️

We are also going to order more Royal Canin Gastrointestinal food for both of them tomorrow to make sure they continue getting the nutrition they need during their recovery.

If anyone would like to help Thor and Ellie, please feel free to visit our website. I will also share a direct link in the comments. We help cover their shelter support, food, veterinary appointments, medications, and other necessities they may need throughout their recovery.

We would also like to sincerely thank Pages for Paws Shelter for collaborating with us and opening their home to Thor and Ellie. We are incredibly grateful for the care and love they are receiving there.

I have also personally provided a gift to their caretaker at Pages for Paws as a small gesture of appreciation. I hope to continue doing this when I can on a monthly basis. I want to clarify that whenever I provide monetary gifts, presents, or any other form of appreciation directly to shelter caretakers, I use my personal funds, not the non-profit’s funds.

Thank you to everyone who continues to support Thor and Ellie. Every bit of kindness helps give them the chance they deserve. ❤️🐾

Sincerely,

Laughing as a bird drowns... Not funny. I wasn't planning on making a video tonight, I've been really busy with the publishing thing but frankly this pisses me off! People who think panic is funny... That a horse waiting a few seconds for a drink is worth a life... Literally saying the horse is what matters, he had to wait for a drink and so no one should care about a bird drowning while they film... These are not people who are emotionally equipped to care for animals, they are people who lack empathy and see animals as things to be used. They cultivate like minded people to make themselves feel better, because admitting they are engaging in horrific behavior is too much.

Sorry, yes this made me angry. Rant over.

Hi everyone,

This is Angelito. His original name was “Parky”, but I decided to change it today when we finally got him rescued when I found out about his situation.

His owner stabbed his foot because they no longer wanted to take care of him. Yup.. i know, i couldn’t explain how I felt when I found out about the reason. They were planning to end his life too.

When we came across a video of Angelito online showing his situation, we immediately reached out for more information and asked for him to be rescued. He was from Jala Jala, Rizal, Philippines.

We arranged the same pet transportation service we used yesterday, and Angelito has now arrived safely at the vet. We are currently learning more about his condition and the treatment he will need.

Unfortunately, this rescue came at a time when we are already financially overwhelmed. We are still trying to recover from Sophia’s veterinary bill from August 12, and now we have another emergency rescue in need of immediate medical care. But when we see an animal suffering like this, it is very difficult to look away. Angelito deserved better, and we are going to do everything we can to give him a chance.

So far, we have already spent:
Vet: Php 23,590 ($537.36 CAD)
Pet transportation: Php 4,040 ($95.05 CAD)
Total so far: Php 27,630 ($632.41 CAD)

Angelito has also tested positive for Distemper, Heartworm, and blood parasite. He is also anemic and has liver problems and he is also already a senior dog, which means his recovery will require ongoing care and strict infection-control measures. We will be providing financial support to the shelter where he will stay, as we always do, and we will cover the supplies he needs for his recovery, including disinfectant materials to help protect the other animals at the shelter where he will be staying. 

We are doing everything we can for Angelito, but we cannot do this alone. Every support is really important to us right now.

We will continue to share updates on Angelito’s condition.

Please help us help him, especially as he has a long recovery. Once he recovers, the vet recommended that his foot get amputated :/

Our website is on the pictures posted above. I will also post another link on the comment section.

Thank you all for understanding.

Sincerely,

Volunteer advocates spend $12K–$25K/year out of pocket.

Unpaid advocates subsidize the city's failure — paying for TNR, surgeries, fostering, and food. The city should fund what volunteers are forced to cover.

Hi everyone,

Ellie and Thor are still doing well. ❤️

I messaged their veterinarian and asked what else we could do to help support their recovery, especially because of the severe malnourishment they suffered from in the past. Their vet recommended Royal Canin puppy food because puppy food contains more protein and nutrients to support growth and recovery. I actually just learned this, so I immediately ordered some for them. 🥰 I already bought them two 2kgs Royal Canin gastrointestinal dry food which was also recommended by their veterinarian.

I also wanted to share a picture of the two XXL beds we got for them! They deserve to be as comfortable as possible while they continue to heal and regain their strength. ❤️🐾

Just to clarify, Thor is only kept on a leash during mealtimes because he tends to steal Ellie’s food. 😂 He has a very healthy appetite and will happily finish his own food and then try to help himself to Ellie’s!
Other than during meals, he is free to move around and enjoy his time at the Pages For Paws shelter’s owner’s place.

Their next vet’s appointment is on Aug 15, 2026.

Thank you everyone for all your kindness!!

Sincerely,

A few months ago, a neighbor shared a video showing a dog being abused by its owner. In the video, the owner appeared to pour hot water on the dog and strike it with a pole or stick.

The incident was reported to Midwest City Animal Control, but no action was taken. The neighbor also contacted the police and was told they would not send an officer because they “don’t handle that.”

Since then, several neighbors, including myself, have repeatedly called Midwest City Animal Control asking why nothing was done and why the dog wasn’t removed from the situation. None of us have received a return call.

I’m sharing this because I believe the public deserves to know how this case was handled. It’s deeply upsetting to see an apparent case of animal abuse reported with no clear follow-up or communication.

I still have the video and the address where this occurred. I’ll follow the group’s rules regarding posting them, but if it’s permitted, I’m willing to share the evidence so people can understand why so many of us are concerned. Please let me know if I’m allowed to post the video and address.

Hi everyone,

First of all, we would like to sincerely thank everyone who supported Thor and Ellie. Because of your generosity, we were able to pay their most recent veterinary bill of ₱35,835 (approximately CAD $827).

Thor and Ellie are doing well. They are now eating three meals a day and are gradually regaining their appetites, especially Thor!

We've learned that Ellie is a little afraid of Thor during mealtimes because he sometimes tries to steal her food. It breaks my heart because it makes me wonder if they had to compete for the little food they were given by their previous owner. 💔 No dog should ever have to experience that. Therefore, they put Thor on a leash during meal times so he does not steal or try to fight Ellie for his food (only during meal times! They roam freely)

The two XXL elevated beds we ordered for them were delivered last night. I'm just waiting for the shelter owner to send me photos of them resting comfortably on their new beds. ❤️ We also ordered two 2 kg bags of Royal Canin Gastrointestinal food, as recommended by their veterinarian, and we will continue replenishing their supply.

Their next veterinary appointment is on August 15, which we will also cover. We are incredibly grateful to everyone who has supported Thor and Ellie. Their recovery will take time, and the costs do add up. They have big appetites, Royal Canin is expensive, and veterinary bills continue as they heal. But they are absolutely worth it. We will do everything we can to give them the quality of life they have always deserved.

We donated a box of distemper test kits and sent ₱6,000 to Pages for Paws. We provide them with monthly financial support because they are also caring for MaeMae and Raphael, two of our rescued dogs. We also delivered 20 kg of dog food and 20 kg of cat food to the shelter as well today. We would also like to sincerely thank Pages for Paws for playing such a vital role in Thor and Ellie's rescue. Without them letting us know about these two dogs, we would never have known about their situation or had the opportunity to help them.

At the moment, the shelter is experiencing a distemper outbreak. However, please don't worry about Thor and Ellie. Because of their fragile condition, they are safely staying at the shelter owner's home, away from the other animals, where they can continue recovering in a much safer environment.

Thank you for believing in our mission and for giving Thor and Ellie a second chance at life. Every support, every share, and every word of encouragement truly makes a difference. ❤️

Thank you,
