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 can create awareness of the LPB Project among members of the media.
Volunteers may choose from the following areas:
P.R.
Write pre- and post-event articles for the press
Write profiles of the dogs
Communications
Network with TV, radio, media
Compile information materials (articles, photographs, videos) for distribution
Compile a list of media contacts
Volunteers for the Save the Laguna Pit Bulls Project should visit the LPB Sanctuary. 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 exact location of the Laguna Pit Bulls Sanctuary to volunteers who have gone through the orientation.
Who can help:
· Must love animals and not scared of big dog breeds
· Physically fit
· Can speak fluent English and Filipino
· Pleasing personality and likes working with people
