SAN JOSE DEL MONTE, BULACAN, PHILIPPINES, August 28, 2023 — ADM, a global leader in human, pet, and animal nutrition, has partnered with Pawssion Project. Pawssion Project is a non-profit organization. It rescues, rehabilitates and rehomes pets to advance pet welfare in the Philippines.
A dedicated space for paraplegic pets
Through ADM Cares, the company’s corporate social investment program, ADM is helping to build a dedicated 25 sqm space. The space will be within Pawssion Project’s shelter. It serves paraplegic dogs and cats specifically. Moreover, it will house a hydrotherapy facility to aid in the rescues’ rehabilitation efforts. At the same time, it will support the nourishment of all pets.
In addition, ADM Pet Nutrition will donate complete and balanced petfood. For example, this includes Ganador®, a high quality dog food suitable for all breeds and life stages. It also covers Minino®, a professional cat food for felines of all ages and sizes.
“At ADM, we truly believe in the power of community and compassion,” said Clare Torralba, Director, Pet Nutrition, Asia-Pacific excluding China (APeC). “Therefore, our partnership with Pawssion Project is a testament to our unwavering commitment. We want to make a positive impact in the communities where we are present.” Torralba added, “Pawssion Project has an excellent track record. It has provided care and homes to rescued pets since 2018. We were inspired to support their mission. As a result, they can continue their important work to improve pet welfare in the Philippines.”
