Bebegurl

Specially-abled Dog Here’s a fighter, if we ever saw one! Bebegurl was just a regular playful, energetic puppy. As she grew, we noticed that her legs were getting weak and she would often trip and fall. It was apparently a spine injury that she most likely had since birth and manifested as her bones developed. […]

Celeste

Special Needs Cat Celeste was rescued as a tiny little kitten. She was only supposed to be in quarantine at the PAWS shelter until she was ready to be adopted or at least moved to their cattery. Unfortunately that time never came. She never became healthy and social enough to be introduced to the other […]

Kara

Special Needs Cat A former IG sensation, Kara was one of the most popular feline residents at PAWS. During her 3-year stay at the shelter, she amassed quite a number of IG fans, adoption inquiries, and visitations. So…. what happened, right? Kara didn’t quite meet people’s expectations. Her IG pics showed a chubby and cuddly […]

Linggit

Special Needs Cat Linggit, whom we also call Lingling or Clingcling because of how clingy she is, is a very affectionate and needy cat. She was rescued as a kitten, and has always been skinny and frail. At a very young age, Linggit is already losing her teeth one by one due to chronic gingivitis. […]

Peballs

Special Needs Rabbit Peballs is a male bunny whose legs are all splayed. We’re unsure if he was born that way or his bones didn’t develop properly. We adopted him from Fuzzy Bunny PH because we believe that we can give him the special care that he needs. Because he can only “swim” in order […]

Reign

Senior Dog Who would have thought this old lady would rule over a pack of 10+ dogs? The other residents are literally afraid of her! At the PAWS shelter, she was never a candidate for adoption. She didn’t really try to be picked 🙁 Instead, she would lay around and growl at any dog that […]

Rusi

Senior + Special Needs Dog Unlike most of our residents who were former residents at the PAWS shelter, Rusi was rescued by BFFS in Pampanga and never made it to PAWS. He was originally being fostered here in order to prepare him for adoption, but we realized that he’s not really a good candidate for […]

Skater

Specially-abled Dog We all felt sorry for this little fella when he was found in a box on the side of the road. With all his legs deformed, we didn’t think he could walk at all. He was clearly another product of breeding gone wrong, and when his owner realized he was never going to bring […]

Viserion

Special Needs Dog Viserion didn’t use to be a tripod. He was seen along Visayas Ave. in Quezon City, dragging his bleeding hind legs. His injuries turned out to be either inborn or caused by past trauma, and not a recent hit and run incident. The vet amputated his left hind leg because it had […]

Seeberger

Special Needs Cat At the PAWS animal shelter, this handsome fella would have been adopted a million times over if he didn’t hiss and bare his fangs at everyone who came to see him! No one was allowed in his personal space. In a shelter where you have to compete with 200 other cats to […]
