- PARC
shall be an OPEN SHELTER - meaning, it will
accept all animals abandoned with the shelter.
- PARC
shall implement the following regulations and
procedures regarding abandoned animals:
Subject for Euthanasia
a. All adult dogs and cats with poor health
(as determined by a
competent vet, guided by a set of factors which
includes types of disease and cost of rehab)*.
b. All adult dogs and cats that exhibit abnormal
signs of aggression (level
of aggression to be set by a competent animal
behaviorist/trainer)**.
c. All adult dogs and cats at the zenith of
their age range (provided
that the maximum allowable population of animals
within the shelter has been reached).
d. Newly born kittens and puppies (one
to two weeks old) (in the absents of an effective
Foster care program)
Subject for Adoption
e. All animals that are determined to be adoptable
and, after a thorough rehabilitation process***.
f. In the case of wildlife, the animal/s shall
be turned over to the zoo or the Protected Areas
and Wildlife Bureau (PAWB)
Animals destined for euthanasia are to be put
down in accordance with standards set by law.
As a matter of policy, PARC shall put down excess
animals, following again, the factors of health,
age and behavioral problem. The population of
animals in PARC shall at all time be kept at
a level that will ensure a reasonable healthy
environment.
- All
persons who brought in their animals to PARC
are required to sign a Waiver****.
- All
the above provisions except no. 3, shall apply
as well to anonymous abandonment and rescued
animals.
*Vet
must determine if the disease carried by an
animal is highly contagious, terminal or hazardous
to humans or, impractical to treat or, all of
the circumstances mentioned. Exception may be
considered for those with less serious ailment,
provided certain factors (exceptionally sociable
and young) warrant it.
**It's important to properly distinguish between
normal defensive aggression shown by an animal,
as a result of it being in a traumatic situation,
and that of outright viciousness.
***Adoptable animals must be given the mandatory
rabies shot. Other vaccinations may be given
when resources are available. Adult male cats
are to be neutered before transferring to cattery.
All animals are to be kept clean, healthy and
presentable to the public.
****Waiver must contain complete name, address,
phone number (some acceptable form of ID should
be presented). Information like reason/s for
abandonment, origin of the abandoned animal
and other existing pets if available, must be
elicited. (These data might be useful for future
evaluation, which can help determine, and hopefully
reduce instances of abandonment).
