In March 2012, an estimated 266 pit bulls were rescued from a dog-fighting syndicate. Many of the animals were found in very poor health. They were cruelly chained to posts buried in filthy mud with nothing more than cut-out steel drums for shelter. They were terribly malnourished, many with wounds inflicted during dog-fighting. Many were suffering from exposure to the elements. Despite medical care, many dogs perished or had to be put to sleep to end their suffering.
Today, 125 remain and CARA continues to medicate them daily because of their ill health–a result of the poor living conditions and lack of medical care in the hands of the dog fighters. CARA wants these surviving dogs to get a chance to live normal lives. But they cannot do it alone. Please help out!
We need volunteers who will do the following:
Visit the pit bulls on a regular basis.
Help rehabilitate the dogs through play, human socialization, basic training, exercise, grooming.
Help in the maintenance of the center.
Help in administrative work.
Those who live in Quezon and Laguna are welcome! We have weekly trips for those living in Metro Manila. For security reasons we will only disclose the location of the Laguna Pit Bulls Sanctuary to volunteers who have gone through the orientation.
Benefits:
· Get to know a lot of different people with the same love for animals.
· He/she will also make a huge difference in the lives of rescued pit bulls.
