The need for a dedicated animal shelter in Niugan, Cabuyao, Laguna is pressing. Stray animals are a common sight in our community and this issue not only affects the welfare of these animals but also poses health risks to residents. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), there are approximately 200 million stray dogs worldwide and many of them carry diseases that can be transmitted to humans. In the Philippines alone, rabies transmitted from dogs causes hundreds of deaths each year (WHO).

By establishing an animal shelter within our locality, we can provide these stray animals with proper care and attention they deserve while also protecting our community from potential health threats. This initiative will not only help control the population of stray animals but also promote responsible pet ownership among residents.

We urge local government officials to allocate funds for this cause and work towards creating a safer environment for both humans and animals alike. Your signature can make a difference in improving animal welfare conditions within our community - sign this petition today!
