Snips Happen: Tales From PETA Asia’s Spay/Neuter Clinics
Just days after PETA Asia rushed in to provide much-needed veterinary care as well as dog and cat food to families reeling from the aftermath of devastating Typhoon Gaemi, the team sprang into action again, refusing to let the flood dampen their spirits—or their mission to help abate the homeless-animal crisis in the Philippines.
Veterinarians readied their scalpels and went to work at PETA Asia’s free spay/neuter clinic, sterilizing a jaw-dropping 522 dogs and cats in one day! The previous clinic in the same area had resulted in a wait list a mile long, so the team picked up right where they had left off to ensure that no one would slip through the cracks.
Our staff and volunteers made big waves of their own, sterilizing a whopping 997 animals in just a month. One snip at a time, they’re helping secure a brighter future for dogs and cats, giving everyone something to be happy about.

PETA Asia Provides Typhoon Gaemi Relief
Little Carina was all alone—suffering from parasites and the maddening itch of mange that interrupted any rest she could get—when Typhoon Gaemi (aka “Super Typhoon Carina”) came roaring through, bringing torrential rains and flooding to the Philippines. A kind family noticed her and scooped her up, sheltering her in the second story of their home.
The typhoon caused catastrophic flooding, with water reaching second-story levels in some areas, displacing countless individuals of all species.
PETA Asia sped to an evacuation center, providing food and free veterinary care to animals stranded there. Once the floodwaters receded, the team hit the streets, distributing more than 600 pounds of dog and cat food and providing animals in need with on-the-spot treatment. The team also rescued sweet Carina, who is now recovering from her frightening ordeal and will soon be living her best life with a caring family they found.

Dog Trapped in a Wall—WATCH What Happens Next!
For nearly a month, a dog in the Philippine city of Dasmariñas was trapped in a wall. Somehow, the dog was sealed into the wall when the previous tenant left and construction work was done on the unit. When the new tenant heard barking coming from inside the wall, they reported it to officials. The dog, whom PETA Asia named Wally, survived by drinking water from an open drainage canal. The dog was emaciated and had many wounds, likely from attempting to break free. After a brief stay with a local veterinarian for treatment, Wally went into foster care while the team got to work looking for a loving home. Watch his remarkable story!

PETA Asia Helps Animals After Typhoon Noru Devastates the Philippines
The moment PETA Asia rescuers could safely reach the area, they began looking for wounded animals. The team members then turned their focus to ensuring that those who had survived wouldn’t go hungry while waiting for power to be restored and stores to reopen. Many animal guardians were very grateful for the food PETA Asia distributed, including 175 pounds of cat food and 440 pounds of dog food. The team also treated several animals suffering from mange and other maladies.
