Help the shelter dogs by joining TailRunners: The Metro Dog Run 2010. A percentage of your registration fee fee goes to PAWS (Philippine Animal Welfare Society), CARA (Compassion and Responsibility for Animals), AKF (Animal Kingdom Foundation), and the Cavite Animal Welfare Society. The more people joining the run, the more money we can donate.
One of our TailRunning Ambassadors is Trumpets Playshop Creative Director Audie Gemora. He is a proud member of the PAWS Aspin Club which is set to be launched in April, just in time for TailRunners 2010. Skipper here is Audie's adopted Asong Pinoy (native breed).
If you still call native dogs Askals (short for Asong Kalye), then you must have been living under a rock all this time. After the very successful “See Beauty Beyond Breed” – a national print ad campaign featuring celebrities Heart Evangelista and Jericho Rosales; preceded by trailblazing events such as the “Pinakamagandang Hayop sa Balat ng Lupa” – a native dog beauty pageant, which was judged by Ms. Universe 1969 herself, Gloria Diaz (who also happens to be the star in the cult classic film of the same title), our very own local breed is now known in politically correct terms as the ASPIN or the Asong Pinoy. And it was only a matter of time until an official Aspin Club would finally emerge.
The PAWS Aspin Club’s SEC registration papers state that the club “aims to improve how Filipinos view & treat native and mixed-breed dogs by celebrating the unique characteristics of each dog and helping people make the right choice – the choice to adopt Aspins from shelters, pounds, or rescued off the streets.” The PAWS Aspin Club was established to help unite native dog owners to incite change, and help these extraordinary dogs receive the recognition and care they deserve.”
