Last December 20, we successfully held our Merry Christmas Paws Vaccination and Deworming Drive 🐾🎄, in line with our commitment to promote responsible pet ownership and help prevent the spread of rabies.

The activity was conducted at the SWU PHINMA Villa Grounds through the efforts of the SWU PHINMA Making the Lives of Others Better (MLOB) Animal Welfare Team, in partnership with Pawtopia, the SWU PHINMA Veterinary Medicine Department, and our supportive LGU.

We provided free anti-rabies vaccination and deworming services to residents of Barangay Sambag 1 and 2, as well as members of the SWU PHINMA community, helping strengthen both animal welfare and public health initiatives in Cebu City.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who made this outreach possible. Together, we continue to work toward a safer, healthier community—one paw at a time. 💚🐶🐱
