𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐋𝐢𝐟𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐂𝐎𝐍𝐧𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐬 || 𝗧𝗮𝗶𝗹𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗛𝗼𝗽𝗲: 𝗜𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗴𝗴𝗼 𝗔𝘀𝗽𝗶𝗻𝘀 𝗔𝗱𝗼𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗗𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗲

Dogs, as early as 1789, have been regarded as Man's best friend—loyal, forgiving, and unconditionally loving. And yet, despite their boundless fidelity, too many of them are abused and left to survive on their own. Their current reality should make us ask ourselves:

𝑫𝒐 𝒘𝒆 𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒍𝒍𝒚 𝒅𝒆𝒔𝒆𝒓𝒗𝒆 𝒅𝒐𝒈𝒔?

In the Philippine context, while numerous furmoms and furdads treat dogs like their own children, countless others still see them simply as "𝒃𝒂𝒏𝒕𝒂𝒚"—guardians of the household, easily taken for granted. They are trapped in the bonds of loyalty and the chains of neglect.

Many dogs have lost faith in us; when they begin to see us as threats, that is when we have failed them.

This is where 𝗜𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗴𝗴𝗼 𝗔𝘀𝗽𝗶𝗻𝘀, a SEC-registered non-profit dog rescue shelter, located in Trapiche, Oton, Iloilo comes in.
Currently, they house and compassionately care for nearly 150 dogs rescued from various unfortunate situations.

While their situation at the shelter is a far cry from the past grasp of abuse, they still long for not just shelter—each of them are waiting for loving families and forever homes.

This 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗗𝗼𝗴 𝗗𝗮𝘆, through 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗟𝗶𝗳𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗖𝗢𝗡𝗻𝗲𝗰𝘁𝘀, we are knocking on your hearts: choose to adopt, not shop. These dogs, after all that they've endured, deserve your love too.

If your heart decides to give them a loving home, please message Ilonggo Aspins directly 💚💛
