City partnerships for animal welfare
Over the years, Robinsons Land Co. has been steadfast in promoting its animal welfare advocacies through its corporate social responsibility activities championing adoption of rescues and access to free veterinary services, spay and neutering, and anti-rabies vaccination.
RLC further strengthens this commitment by partnering with Quezon City Veterinary Department and Pasig City Veterinary Services in one of the most highlighted animal events: Rabies Awareness Month.
The recent Rabies Awareness Month kickoff celebration in Quezon City resulted in 222 cats and dogs vaccinated against rabies, while Pasig City yielded 257. These ran simultaneously with spay and neuter operations, which serviced 240 pets in Quezon City and 130 pets in Pasig City.
Rabies Awareness Month, annually observed in March, aims to raise the public’s understanding of the infectious viral disease and how it can be averted through proper education and prevention. By virtue of Republic Act No. 9482, various institutions and government agencies take part in different activities and programs that aim to curtail rabies cases in the country and eventually put an end to this deadly disease.
Recognizing that rabies poses an imminent threat to both human and animal health, RLC strives to be part of the solution by conducting regular rabies vaccination drives in its malls. Through RLC’s “Pet Bakuna” program, in partnership with the local government, free anti-rabies vaccines are made accessible and given for free to pet cats and dogs in nearby communities. During RLC’s “Pet Bakuna” activity, pet owners also receive pet care items and vet consultations, and participate in talks on pet wellness free of charge.
RLC encourages pet owners to have their pets vaccinated annually. Watch out for succeeding “Pet Bakuna” and “Pet Konsulta” in Robinsons Malls near you.
