"We urgently need your support to care for the now total of 22 rescued POGO animals. The estimated monthly expense of just feeding the 22 POGO rescues alone stands at ~P230k. They will need to undergo their medical tests and evaluations ASAP as well so we can get an estimate of their medical expenses from our vet," said PAWS.
