Shared ownership

No single person should be the point of failure

Private funding started this. It cannot be what sustains it. Here is the contributor map: who can carry part of the work, what each is being asked for, and where the conversation currently stands.

Palangga Paws Mobile Clinic

Getting the clinic on the road

Palangga Paws will buy its own van — not rent or lease one. All costs are working estimates, not quotes.

The plan

Buy our own clinic van

Palangga Paws will own its van outright — no renting or leasing. We buy it and fit it out as a two-person mobile clinic once the purchase is funded. Funders and sponsors can back it directly: sponsor the clinic van.

Cost estimate shared with partners after sign-in

Alongside

Ask our government partners

Ask the Iloilo City, Iloilo Provincial and Guimaras vet offices for support their anti-rabies budget already covers, so the van has what it needs on clinic days.

What we ask for

  • Rabies vaccines
  • A barangay hall to work in
  • A vet or technician

Little or no cost to us

Until the van arrives

Team up with a private vet clinic

Work with a clinic that already does outreach. They bring the equipment and staff, and we pay per animal or per day.

Agreed per animal or per day

After the van leaves

Growing local care capacity

Most local vet clinics and shelters don't have the room or the budget to care for animals for weeks. We help partner clinics and shelters add care places and pay for running them, so animals have somewhere to recover after surgery or injury, or to wait for adoption. Sterilisation and vaccination stay the priority, and stays are time-limited.

Stage 1

Paid care days

Partner clinics are paid a set rate for each day they care for an animal recovering after a clinic day. No building work needed.

Stage 2

Small upgrades

We fund recovery kennels, cages, shade, fans, isolation pens and cleaning supplies at approved partner clinics and shelters.

Stage 3

Running costs

We cover a carer's wage and food for an agreed number of care places, paid against the work partners log in the Partner hub.

Later

A dedicated recovery and adoption space

Only after clinic results are published and funding has been steady for six months.

Partner clinics and shelters can ask for funded care places when they apply to join. Every partner signs a written agreement and is checked in person.

Accountability commitments

  • Every peso received is reported publicly against what it bought.
  • Animal counts published per clinic, not annually and not rounded.
  • Partners named and credited; harmful practices documented with evidence.
  • No funds raised for a shelter until sterilisation volume is proven.
  • Local rescuers reimbursed before any programme overhead is paid.

Vigilance

How success is measured — and kept honest

Good intentions fade; published numbers do not. Every programme on this site runs the same loop: set a target, do the work, publish the result, invite correction. Partners and funders can watch it happen without taking anyone's word for it.

Animals sterilised and vaccinated

After every clinic

Counted per clinic day, per barangay — never rounded, never annualised. Published with cost per animal so anyone can check the maths.

Reported pins closed

Weekly

Every map report ends publicly: picked up, treated, returned, rehomed — or an honest note on why not. Open pins older than two weeks are flagged, not quietly dropped.

Rabies risk and bite treatment burden

Quarterly

Vaccination coverage by barangay, tracked against reported bite incidents and the cost households would have faced for post-exposure treatment.

Money in, money out

Monthly

Every peso received is published against what it bought — medicines, vet fees, rescuer reimbursements. Local rescuers are reimbursed before any overhead is paid.

Partner health

Quarterly

Which contributors are active, which have gone quiet, and what unblocked them. A partnership that fades gets a visit, not a press release.

Adoptions that hold

Per adoption

Follow-ups at one month and six months on every placement. A returned animal is data about a bad match, not a failure to hide.

  • Numbers are published per event, not buried in an annual report.
  • Bad results are published too — a missed target with an explanation builds more trust than a clean page.
  • Anyone on the ground can challenge a figure, and corrections are shown, not edited away.
  • No programme grows until its smaller version has proven numbers.

Tourism & hospitality tier

The Animal-Friendly seal

Guimaras runs on visitors who come for a calm, clean island. Animal care is part of that experience, and the businesses closest to it are the ones who gain from getting it right.

Iloilo eateries and public markets

Sponsor vaccination and sterilisation for the animals nearby, keep a clean feeding spot away from tables, and cover food scraps. In return: the Dining & Market seal decal and a listing for food visitors.

Resorts, homestays and farms

Keep the animals around the property vaccinated, sterilised and fed. In return: a verified badge, a listing here, and guests who choose you for it.

Tricycle and boat operators

Report injured animals seen along daily routes. In return: recommendation as ethical transport to visitors and partner accommodations.

Barangay councils

Reach vaccination coverage with no culling and a working pick-up route. In return: public recognition as an Animal-Friendly Barangay.

No account needed. Tell us who you are, your barangay or town and what you do. The team will contact you; approved partners then receive a sign-in to log their work.

Financial integrity promise

80% to the animals. 20% to run it well.

Of every ₱100 received, at least ₱80 goes straight to field work and no more than ₱20 runs the operations. As a non-profit, nothing is paid out as profit or dividends — any surplus stays in the mission.

80% — Field work

  • Vaccines, rabies shots and surgical supplies
  • Vet and vet-tech fees for clinic days
  • Transport and ferry between Iloilo and Guimaras
  • Recovery care and emergency rescue help

20% — Running the operations

  • Staff salaries for the actual work (planning, coordination, reporting)
  • Bookkeeping, SEC and BIR compliance
  • Website, phone and donor reports

Salaries stay inside the 20% and appear in the public ledger as one total — individual pay stays private.
