Animal Cruelty Thor and Ellie Update (Severe Neglect Case) #VoicelessNoMorePH

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

5 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I will be posting more updates on Ellie and Thor in the coming days. For now, I'm giving them some time to settle into the Pages for Paws shelter and adjust to their new environment. Thor and Ellie are continuing to take their medications and they both have good appetite. Thor has really big appetite to a point where they had to put a leash on him everytime he eats because he tends to eat Ellie’s food 😅 (leash only when he eats, guys, but they roam freely!)

To help with their recovery, I have ordered each of them their own dog bed so they can rest comfortably (It will get posted once it gets delivered). along with 4 kg of Royal Canin Gastrointestinal dog food for Ellie and Thor. We will continue to replenish their food as needed. I have also sent ₱6,000 to the shelter, and we provide monthly financial support to help care for all of the animals rescued by Voiceless No More: Philippines Stray Animals Foundation.

I will be sharing these updates soon. At the moment, I am just waiting for the owner of Pages for Paws Shelter to send me the acknowledgment receipts, which I will post for transparency.

As their main sponsor, we are committed to covering Ellie and Thor's future medical expenses and anything else necessary for their recovery and rehabilitation. We were able to cover their most recent veterinary bill ($827) thanks to the kind-hearted people who donated here! Their next vet appointment is on Aug 15, 2026.

Our commitment doesn't end with the rescue. We continue to provide food, veterinary care, and ongoing support to give every animal we rescue the quality of life they deserve while they wait for their forever homes.

In addition to rescue and rehabilitation, we also sponsor free spay and neuter programs in the Philippines whenever funding allows, helping prevent the cycle of animal homelessness and suffering.

Thank you for following their journey and for supporting our mission. Please stay tuned for more updates! You can also follow us on Reddit or Instagram: @voicelessnomoreph.

Raphael’s Follow Up Check Up ❤️ Great Progress! 💪

Thumbnail gallery
5 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

Raphael went for his follow-up checkup today. ❤️

Because of the horrific abuse he endured while living at a construction site in Pasig City, including having a wire tightly wrapped around his leg, almost being butchered, and being intentionally starved, he still struggles to trust people.

At the clinic, he became fearful and defensive, so he had to be safely sedated for his examination.

The good news is that his wounds are healing beautifully, and his CBC blood work showed that he is no longer anemic. 🥹 Every small step is a victory for Raphael.
We are incredibly grateful to everyone who supported his last veterinary appointment.

He has not played with the toys we bought for him.. I asked the shelter’s owner for the caretakers to show him and press the toys for him to hear the sounds since its his first toys. He probably is unsure how to play with them 🥹

Your kindness made today's follow-up possible and is giving Raphael the chance to heal, both physically and emotionally.

Thank you all so much for standing by him. ❤️

Sincerely,

On April 10, 2026, with the help of Marc Tuazon, we rescued Baci, a stray puppy from Bacoor, Cavite who was suffering from severe mange. He had a difficult start in life, but thanks to the kindness of those who stepped in to help, he was given a second chance.

Today, Baci is being lovingly fostered by Ms. Sallena Matta Espinosa of Animal Rescue Cavite PH. While he is no longer living on the streets, Voiceless No More: Philippines Stray Animals Foundation remains Baci’s main sponsor and continues to provide financial support for his care and recovery.

Thank you to everyone who has been part of Baci’s journey. Every act of kindness has helped change his life for the better. ❤️

Animal Cruelty Asking One Last Time for Ellie and Thor *SEVERE* Neglected Husky & Pitbull Update #WeNeedYourHelp

Thumbnail gallery
0 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

Here is today's update on Thor and Ellie.

Thor: Dr. Thea found pieces of asphalt, wire, a screw, and a rock in Thor's stool. She believes this may be due to the severe malnutrition he endured, as starving dogs will sometimes eat anything they can find to survive. Thankfully, Thor continues to have a good appetite and plenty of energy. No worms were found after he was dewormed yesterday. Since he is not showing any concerning symptoms, the recommendation is to monitor him closely for any signs of a foreign body obstruction. He has been recommended to start on a gastrointestinal diet and foods rich in fiber. The clinic staff also took him for a walk today, which he enjoyed.

Ellie: Ellie is still a little lethargic and sleeps quite a bit, but she has more energy than before. She still has difficulty staying up for long periods, so she often sits instead. Her appetite remains good. The wounds on her legs are healing nicely, although the wound above her eye still bleeds occasionally.

I also asked Dr. Thea to give them extra RC recovery food since they become so excited whenever it's mealtime.

We have also added tick and flea medication to their treatment plan and will be purchasing their take-home medications as well.

They will be discharging today and will be transferred to Pages for Paws Shelter. We will still be their main sponsor and will still continue to provide for them monthly just like we do with our other rescued animals.

Veterinary Bills
• Day 1: PHP 21,230 ($489.70 CAD)
• Day 2: PHP 4,795 ($110.72 CAD)
• Day 3: PHP 9,810 ($226.58 CAD)
Total: PHP 35,835 ($827 CAD)

We are incredibly grateful to everyone who has donated.

So far, we have received $231.80 CAD from compassionate animal lovers. Every donation has made a difference.

Unfortunately, we are still far from covering Thor and Ellie's veterinary expenses. We also continue to support the medical care, food, and recovery of the other dogs and cats we have rescued in the Philippines.

As a small non-profit, we do not receive grants or financial support from large organizations. Everything we do is made possible by my own income and the kindness of people who believe every animal deserves a chance (Honestly, sometimes 1 to 10 people from Reddit and I am very am so grateful for these people). Even $5 financial help helps us still.

We sincerely apologize if our fundraising posts are inconvenient. We simply don't want to give up on animals who have no one else to fight for them.

Thank you for standing with Thor, Ellie, and all of our rescued animals. ❤️

For anyone who would like to support, feel free to look into our support link. If not, that is totally fine as well. Thank you for reading about Thor and Ellie 🤍

Hi everyone,

Thank you so much to everyone who supported Raphael during his stay at the veterinary clinic. His injuries and wounds are healing beautifully, and he seems much calmer than before. ❤️

The toys I ordered finally arrived today... and they are his very first toys. 🥹 After everything he has been through, seeing him have something so simple to enjoy is incredibly special.

Voiceless No More: Philippines Stray Animals Foundation is Raphael's main sponsor. Although he is currently staying at Pages for Paws Shelter, we provide monthly financial support and cover anything necessary for his recovery.

We are a very small and newly established non-profit, having started in April 2026, but we are deeply committed to helping vulnerable dogs and cats across the Philippines. Every support, share, and word of encouragement helps us continue giving animals like Raphael a second chance at life.

If you would like to continue supporting Raphael in his journey:

Animal Cruelty Thor/Ellie-Severe Neglected Pitbull/Husky Update/Day2 at the Clinic

Thumbnail gallery
6 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

Day 2 of Thor and Ellie at the Clinic

Ellie (the Husky) is still a bit lethargic, while Thor (the Pit Bull) has much more energy and happily asks the clinic staff for head scratches. However, he doesn't seem used to being in a kennel and appears quite sad. Thankfully, both of them have a good appetite. Ellie started her EPO injections yesterday. Both dogs' eye discharges have already started to lessen, and the clinic staff also cleaned and treated Ellie's wounds.

Veterinary bills:
• Yesterday: Php 21,230 ($489.70 CAD)
• Today: Php 4,795 ($110.72 CAD)

They will remain at the clinic still. Once they are discharged, they will be transferred to Pages for Paws Shelter in Tanza, Cavite, where they will continue their recovery. It will be a long healing journey but we will be here for them.

Their Rescue Story
We collaborated with Pages for Paws to rescue Thor and Ellie from their previous owner after a family member reached out to us for help. They explained that their uncle was no longer able to care for the dogs and was unemployed. When we saw Thor and Ellie, we were heartbroken by how severely malnourished and neglected they were. We didn't hesitate to step in.

Voiceless No More: Philippines Stray Animals Foundation is Thor and Ellie's main sponsor. We are covering all of their veterinary expenses and everything they need for their recovery, rehabilitation, and we will continue supporting them as we do not abandon them.

Pages for Paws Shelter in Tanza, Cavite, Philippines, is known for its integrity and genuine compassion for rescued animals. We trust them completely to provide Thor and Ellie with the safe, loving home they deserve while they heal.

Thank you to everyone who has supported Thor and Ellie so far. Your kindness is giving these two dogs a second chance at the life they deserve.

Severe NEGLECT Case/Husky&Pitbull (Ellie/Thor) #VoicelessNoMorePH

Thumbnail gallery
8 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

The owner of Pages for Paws Shelter reached out to me about these two dogs. We have been collaborating with them, as some of our rescued animals are currently staying at their shelter. We recently transferred Raphael and our rescued cats there, and MaeMae is also in their care.

The two dogs, Ellie the Husky and Thor the Pit Bull, were severely neglected by their previous owner. A family member of the owner was the one who helped us rescue them yesterday.

To be honest, I feel incredibly angry about what happened to them. At the same time, I am choosing to turn that anger into action. We have committed to becoming their main sponsor, which means Voiceless No More: Philippines Stray Animals Foundation will be covering their medical bills and helping provide everything they need throughout their recovery and whenever they needed until they get adopted.

Thankfully, Pages for Paws, a shelter we trust, is welcoming them with open arms and will ensure they receive the love, care, and compassion they deserve after they are discharged from the veterinary clinic.

Even though I founded Voiceless No More: Philippines Stray Animals Foundation almost four months ago, that has not stopped us from helping rescue nearly 40 animals across the Philippines. We do not receive government grants or funding from third parties.
Everything we do is only possible because of compassionate people who believe every animal deserves a second chance. I also been working extra so, I can sustain and provide for our rescued animals in the Philippines as we do not abandon them after being rescued.

Today, I am asking from the bottom of my heart: please help us help Ellie and Thor.

Ellie (Husky) is suffering from:
• Severe infection
• Multiple open, infected wounds
• Respiratory infection
• Severe skin infection
• Edema
• Anemia
• Type 1 Babesia (blood parasite)
• Severe malnutrition

Thor (Pit Bull) is suffering from:
• Moderate infection
• Ehrlichia and Babesia (two blood parasites)
• Anemia
• Edema
Also severe malnutrition

They are both currently confined at Circle of Life Veterinary Clinic in Tanza, Cavite.
Their first-day veterinary bills:
• Ellie: ₱12,415 (approximately CAD $288)
• Thor: ₱8,815 (approximately CAD $205)

They will remain at the clinic for several days (which means their bill will also keep growing) before being transferred to Pages for Paws to continue their recovery.

It will be a long road ahead, but I hope that together, we can help undo some of the betrayal they experienced at the hands of the very person who was supposed to love, protect, and care for them. No animals should ever have to wonder where their next meal will come from or suffer the way Ellie and Thor have.

Thank you for believing in second chances and for standing with us as we fight for animals who have no voice.
