Established in 2006 by a British artist, Dogs Mountain in La Union is one of probably one of just a handful–or less than a handful–of sanctuaries for local dogs who have nowhere else to go. It provides a home for over 200 dogs rescued from the meat trade, dog pounds, and the streets. Run by volunteers, it is a special place where traumatized pups can run free and look forward to a forever home.
Golden dogs! They have been with Dogs Mountain for 10 years. Each one has a special story.
Its mission is simple: to bring awareness of the dog meat trade happening here to a wider audience; inspire and lead by example on how to help and care for all animals, while enjoying the positive feel-good energy from being able to save lives.
Check out the appeal of the volunteers.
We terribly need help… Please donate even small amounts for these dogs who went through very painful experiences so that they can continue to enjoy safety, refuge, and sense of belonging and being loved that they now have in this sanctuary… Thank you and bless you all abundantly!

Those who wish to help can also donate in-kind. Dogs Mountain needs 100 kilos of dog food for 200+ dogs and food for 20 cats every day, or 50 kilos of rice mixed with vegetables like carrots, pumpkin, and malunggay. The animals need food bowls, deworming tablets, multivitamins especially for those recovering from medical treatment, LIV 52 for the liver, Nefrotec for the kidneys, DETICK SPOT ON, dishwashing liquid, anti-mange shampoos or soaps, anti-tick and flea shampoo, cleaning materials, and food for caretakers, among others.

The dogs of Dogs Mountain went through terrible experiences. Isn’t it wonderful they are safe and happy now? Let’s keep it that way. Don’t you agree?
