Adopt.ph isn't a shelter per se, but they're a great resource to meet potential pets. They post photos of animals from different shelters around the Philippines to help redirect potential pet parents. At the moment, many of the adorable animals they've been posting are dogs, but keep your eyes peeled for updates on feline friends too. The best part? Many of the animals they feature are based outside of Metro Manila so people from Aklan, Cebu, Batangas, and more have options as well!
