We can’t help but want to squish their adorable faces despite their stoic appearance and muscular build. They still look so sweet even when hard at work sniffing out illegal substances and explosives.
Hound Haven is a rehabilitation shelter in Angat, Bulacan, for former working dogs. But more than providing a temporary home, the nonprofit organization helps these ex-K-9s get a second “career”: as normal, beloved family pets. Some K-9s are lucky to be adopted out to their handlers while some are left with no choice but to spend their remaining years in their kennels. “Some handlers are unable to adopt because they are either assigned to a different location or they don’t have the capacity to care for a dog,” explained Arcebal.Since it officially opened in 2017, the center has taken in a total of 37 dogs. It previously rehabilitated and rehomed dogs that were deployed in the Marawi Siege.
