A Heartfelt Journey: Volunteering at MBY Dog Rescue Sanctuary.

 Join me on a heartwarming adventure as I volunteer at the MBY Dog Rescue Sanctuary, located at 113 Sitio Talaga Proper, Barangay Maybancal, Morong, Rizal, 1960. The sanctuary is a beacon of hope, offering a safe haven for stray dogs and cats. The dedicated team at MBY works tirelessly to make a difference, save lives, and prevent animal abuse and cruelty. Their mission resonates deeply with my own passion for animal welfare, and I was eager to contribute to their noble cause. This journey was not just about giving back; it was about embracing the power of love and compassion to transform lives.

In this video, I share my heartfelt experience of bringing food, feeding the dogs, helping clean the sanctuary, and immersing myself in the lives of these incredible animals as I joined the outreach program of Juan Umbrella, a private organization for employee engagement. As a devoted dog lover, this journey deepened my emotional connection with these wonderful creatures and reinforced the importance of giving back. The day was filled with moments of joy, heartache, and profound fulfillment as I witnessed firsthand the impact of compassion and care on these animals' lives.
