Hi everyone,

Angelito’s recovery is not going to be easy, but he is not facing it alone. 🤍

His red blood cell count remains low, so he will receive five EPO injection treatments this week while he works on regaining his strength. For now, amputation is not recommended, so we will continue caring for his injury, keeping it clean, and bringing him to his follow-up checkups.

We also provided prescription more recovery food, dextrose powder, and cleaning supplies for the shelter to help support Angelito and protect the other animals. We will continue sending financial support to help with his transportation and medical needs.

Through everything he has endured, Angelito is loved, seen, and genuinely cared for. His life MATTERS, and we will continue doing everything we can to give him the chance he deserves.

To anyone who would like to provide financial support for Angelito, please visit our website, which is shown in the video. I will also be sharing another link in the comment section. To be honest, Angelito is already the 5th rescued animal we have had at the veterinary clinic this week, and with multiple animals needing medical care at the same time, the costs can quickly become overwhelming. We appreciate everyone who continues to support our rescued animals🤍

For your safety, please double-check that the link was posted by me and comes from our official account before sending any financial support. 🤍

Thank you so much for helping us continue to care for Angelito and our other rescued animals. Every bit of support truly makes a difference. Will keep posting updates.

Sincerely,

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,

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.

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. ❤️🐾

Hi everyone,

One of our rescued dogs, Elijah, finally had his follow-up veterinary check-up. His appointment was delayed because the previous shelter where he was staying experienced unexpected circumstances and it became quite hectic during that time.

Elijah is now safe at Gose Paradise for Paws Shelter in Montalban, Rizal, where he is receiving the care he needs. He remains under the sponsorship and care of Voiceless No More: Philippines Stray Animals Foundation.

Elijah once had an owner, but he spent most of his time outside and appeared to have been neglected for a very long time. No animal deserves to live that way, which is why we stepped in to rescue him on May 2, 2026 in Tanza, Cavite, and we never abandoned him and still support him.

Today, Elijah has been diagnosed with several blood parasites, including Ehrlichia, Anaplasma, and Babesia, which are the cause of his anemia.He also has an abdominal hernia, but surgery cannot be performed until he has recovered from the blood parasites and his anemia has stabilized.

I honestly cannot wait until he fully recovers and be ready for adoption. Today, he had to be moved to a different room with less dogs because the other dogs were trying to fight him at the shelter, hence, why he has like a scratch on his face. I just want him to have a nice home where he feels safe. I feel sad right now because I just want the best for all our rescued animals, but I know everything is a process.

His veterinary bill today totaled Php 9,895 ($229.60 CAD). We remain committed to seeing Elijah through his recovery, no matter how long it takes. If anyone would like to contribute toward Elijah's recovery or support the mission of giving neglected and abandoned animals a second chance, we would be incredibly grateful. Our website is on the video.

Thank you to everyone who continues to share their heart. Your kindness gives vulnerable animals the chance to heal and look forward to a better future.

Thank you so much!

I added a simple Memorial Wall where people could leave a message for Wangwang.

I never expected what happened next.

Messages started pouring in from all over the world—every country, every language, united by compassion. Strangers are sending love, shedding tears, and demanding justice for Wangwang. Reading through these notes reminded me why I spent three sleepless nights building this site.

We are not alone. Wangwang is not forgotten.

Hi everyone,

We have been getting daily updates about Ellie and Thor from Pages for Paws Shelter. We asked them to let us know right away if they are running low on anything, so we can order it for them as soon as possible.

For those who missed my last update about them, I also recently got Ellie and Thor Royal Canin puppy food. I messaged their vet to ask what else we could do to help ensure their recovery, especially because they came from a case of severe malnutrition. Their vet recommended puppy food because it contains more protein, which can help support their recovery, and she specifically recommended Royal Canin puppy food. So, of course, I immediately ordered it for them. ❤️

I am especially thankful for the caretaker of Ellie and Thor at Pages for Paws. We call him “Uncle,” and he has been taking such good care of them. I’m still thinking about what kind of gift I should send him, or how much would be appropriate, to show my appreciation. I personally use my own money (not funds from
the non-profit) whenever I give gifts to the caretakers because I want them to know how much I appreciate everything they do for our rescued animals. ❤️ As always, we also send monthly financial support to the shelter where our rescued animals are staying to help cover their ongoing expenses.

Anyway… LOOK AT THESE PHOTOS! 🥹❤️ Look at how much weight Ellie and Thor have gained! They are looking so much healthier, and seeing this progress makes my heart so happy!

Thank you to everyone who has supported Ellie and Thor and helped give them the chance to heal and finally experience proper care, good food, and love. 🙏❤️

My sweet baby Wangwang, you walked this earth without a home, and it breaks my heart that I wasn't there for you. But from this moment on, I am yours, and you will never be alone again. The world may be dark, but I refuse to surrender. I will keep your memory alive in every heart and hold this line for you, until the end of time. 🕊️✨#Wangwang #AnimalWelfare #MemorialWall #IndieDeveloper #JusticeForWangwang #wangwangdog #StopAnimalCruelty

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.

Sincerely,
