Is Pet (Dog) Raffle Illegal?

I constantly see "dog raffle'' on my Facebook feed but I have never played even once. I actually bought my three dog pets on the Marketplace, Shih-Tzu, Pomeranian, and Maltese and these breeds of dogs are costly especially if they will come along with PCCI. The Philippine Canine Club, Inc. was organized on March 21, 1963, as a non-stock, non-profit service-oriented corporation for the purpose of promoting and encouraging the love for pure-bred dogs.

Quality dogs from legit breeders are usually registered on PCCI. Of my three pets only my Pomeranian has PCCI which I bought for Ph20,000.

Earlier, this morning I have seen a post on Facebook from an Animal Shelter in Bulacan, "Pawssion Project" opening up another sensitive topic about dogs being put into a raffle. The page highly condemns such act and highly encourage everyone to report posts that offer PET RAFFLES.

Here is Pawsion Project's complete post regarding the issue:

Opening up another “sensitive” topic tonight but what we saw here on Facebook was just extra frustrating.

Yes, we get soooo many hate because of our stand against Breeding. Even if some say they are “responsible breeders”, there are still more Backyard Breeders out there. Direct your hate towards them, not to Animal Welfare groups. And ask yourself: are you breeding to “keep the standards of the breed” or because you see it as “passive income”?

We are firm on our belief that there is NOTHING RIGHT about breeding pets for PROFIT. They are not products you can just sell or raffle out to the next interested buyer. These are living beings that have needs. It is a lifetime commitment to be responsible for these animals.

And if you really want a pet, why does it only matter when they have breeds? There are MILLIONS of stray animals getting impounded, thousands of Rescues waiting at Animal Shelters. When people choose to support breeders, animals in city pounds and shelters lose the chance to find their own homes.

Please help by reporting posts that offer PET RAFFLES. This is ILLEGAL.

Pet Breeders and Pet Sellers also have to be accredited by Department of Agriculture-Bureau of Animal Industry.

Most Loved Dog Breed in the Philippines- Netizens Choice

What is the Most Popular dog breed in the Philippines? Shih-Tzu, Pomeranian and Aspin are some of the most loved dog breeds in the Philippines. They say having a fur baby at home makes us feel happy and less stressed person. In 2021, I bought, Pomeranian, Maltese and Shih-Tzu puppies and they are all adorable although a bit pricey. But I understand that the breeder needs to bring them to the clinic for vaccination and deworming aside from providing them food and vitamins. Only last month, we adopted a mother Aspin stray dog and her litter. Once you started acquiring and engaging with dogs then it's hard to stop cause you will fall in love with them. But as they say, the dog is the only creature on earth who loves you more than he loves himself. Dog Therapy is a type of therapy that uses dogs or other pets to improve the physical and mental health of patients with certain acute or chronic diseases. It is being studied as a way to relieve distress in cancer patients undergoing treatm...

Christmas in Philippines/Paskong Pinoy

Paskong Pinoy is one of the world's longest running Christmas celebrations, usually beginning as early as the arrival of the "-ber" months (September, October, and so on). Filipinos from all over spend this entire season with enormously rich yuletide traditions of merry-making observed up to the present day. History The word Pasko is derived from the Spanish " Pascua de Natividad ", which literally means "Easter of the Nativity." However the word " pascua " is associated with "solemnity" or "celebration" for the Spanish, and used for other religious feasts. Historical records show that even before Ferdinand Magellan discovered the Philippines in 1521, an Italian Franciscan friar named Odoric de Perdenon and his colleagues had already landed on the shores of Pangasinan (formerly called “Thalma-sin”). Their arrival marked the country's first Christmas Mass as de Perdenone celebrated a Natale Mass with a group of na...

Important Information about Google Buzz Class Action Settlement

This is just for information: Just received this information from my Google inbox and it is actually addressed to everyone in the U.S. who uses Gmail and as noted and quoted from the body of the letter " Just to be clear, this is not a settlement in which people who use Gmail can file to receive compensation. Everyone in the U.S. who uses Gmail is included in the settlement, unless you personally decide to opt out before December 6, 2010".

The settlement acknowledges that we quickly changed the...
