A ‘PAWS’-SIONATE CAUSE
PAWSsion Project Foundation Inc., a nonprofit organization dedicated to the rescue, rehabilitation and rehoming of abused and neglected dogs, is one of Ayala Malls’ valued partners.
Recently, Ayala Corp. president Fernando Zobel de Ayala, Sofia Zobel-Elizalde and Monica Zobel de Ayala contributed cash donations that significantly supported the building of PAWSsion Project’s animal shelter within a newly acquired 6,000-square-meter property in Bacolod City.
Ayala Malls Capitol Central hosted PAWSsion Project’s “Paws for a Cause,” which mobilized a pet supply donation drive for stray dogs. Ayala Malls Vertis North also kept the passion going as the Quezon City location facilitated the PAWSsion Summer Camp.
The program encouraged patrons to adopt stray cats and dogs, giving them the chance to find their forever homes. It also sheds light on the importance of spaying, neutering and vaccinating pets by providing said services for free. The services
were offered in partnership with De La Salle Araneta University, Rep. Ronnie Ong and AP party list, Ang Animal Ko Protektado and Volunteer Vets.
Even amid the pandemic, Ayala Malls continued its mission to offer amazing experiences by relaunching its official dog park called Barkyard. The facility has been hosting programs, such as Central Bloc’s “It’s a Pawty,” Alabang Town Center’s “Adopt a Friend” and Ayala Malls Manila Bay’s
“Adopt a Pound Dog Project.”
Bonifacio High Street is also launching a new pet event with an adoption program called “Pet Huddle” from May 21 to May 22.
Pooches and felines recently gathered at Ayala Malls Central Bloc. Led by Dr. Vern Agriam, chief veterinarian of the Department of Agriculture, “It’s a Pawty” featured a pet adoption activity, free antirabies vaccination, free Pet ID registration and a pet supplies corner, where fur parents could get freebies and special deals from Central Bloc’s merchant partners.
Meanwhile, Alabang Town Center hosted “Adopt a Friend,” a pet adoption activity for the furry residents of Muntinlupa Animal Pound. The event was organized with the Muntinlupa Office of the City Veterinarian, JCI Alabang, JCI Jersey City and Rotary Club of Parañaque Midtown.
Ayala Malls Manila Bay held the “Adopt a Pound Dog Project,” which allowed furry pals to enjoy “pawsome” treats and find their “furever” homes. A pet screening booth was set up for potential pet parents who sought the perfect pooch to add to their family. Meanwhile, free antirabies vaccinations were administered to pets of Parañaque City residents.
Ayala Malls is expanding its pet care and adoption initiatives.
