However, with the onset of the pandemic in 2020, PAWS noticed with concern that the focus of many dog and cat-lovers were feeding an increasing number of unsterilized street dogs. There was also a marked decline among the clients of its SN clinic as jeepneys and other forms of public transportation halted operations. Clients in the low-income sector no longer had access to public transportation to bring their pets to the PAWS clinic.
The Philippines has one of the largest numbers of people infected with COVID-19 in Asia.
The strict quarantine has led to closure of businesses and an increase in the number of both the jobless and the homeless. The impact of these on companion animals of the poor and the rise in pet abandonment and strays was not lost on PAWS.
Program launch
PAWS launched its “HATID-SUNDO” Program (Fetch& Fix Program) on social media and announced that it would go to the homeless people with pets to try to bring the animals in for free spay-neuter, vaccination and treatment at the PAWS Clinic.
Program beneficiaries
Netizens sent in dozens of photos of the less-fortunate, keeping pets – mostly, their own rescues – in wooden carts and makeshift houses. The organization sent volunteers to talk to these pet owners to offer free spay-neuter, vaccination and treatment at PAWS.
Inspiring stories
The animals were returned to their owners after a day or two. As videos of the poor helping their rescued pets made rounds on social media, it inspired netizens to adopt more animals from PAWS.
Great outcomes
The project has spurred donations for these indigent pet owners and their pets to be neutered and treated at the PAWS clinic. Local government units have started inquiring with PAWS as to how they can help.
