As Typhoon Carina continued to cause heavy rains and massive floods in the country yesterday, July 24, several pets and strays were rescued in flood-stricken areas in Manila.
The Manila Disaster Risk Reduction and Management office even shared snaps of their rescue operations, evacuating pets and strays through rescue boats.
“Weโre all inclusive. Ohanaโฆ nobody gets left behind,” they captioned.
Numerous animal welfare organizations urged pet owners not to leave their beloved fur babies behind when evacuating. PAWS recommended using laundry baskets and basins as makeshift carriers for those who don’t have cages or carriers.
