The animal welfare group Orangefamily recently rescued 21 dogs from the Sta. Maria, Bulacan, pound, as seen in Lagmay’s Facebook post last Feb. 24.

Dogs left in pounds are subject to mercy killing, according to the Anti-Rabies Act of 2007, which states that dogs unclaimed after three days can be either put up for adoption or euthanized.
