Unfortunately, we had some difficulty in making the "aesthetic" part of the website since we only had limited knowledge on BARK Mission's branding.
We also made sections for the different tiers of donations and wrote different email notifications and captions for each type of donation. We got used to the controls of HelixPay console. We then sent these to Ma'am Brigitte for feedback and approval. We created BARK Mission's Twitter Account, made pubmats to introduce Twitter to who BARK Mission is and what they do, and wrote captions for the introductory posts and the February BARK Bits posts. Week 2: Creation of BARK Mission Introductory Posts and Twitter Account
We also met with Ma'am Brigitte, one of BARK Mission's founders, to ask her some questions and for her comments on the comment we had made so far. We began creating their website on HelixPay, which would make collecting donations easier and more organized. For the month of February, we decided that it would be about Republic Act 8485 or the Animal Welfare Act of 1998, as we wanted to inform others about the legal protections for animals. We researched, wrote some content, and created pubmats for February BARK Bits (Bite-sized information about animal welfare and issues). Week 1: Preparation for the start of implementation Here is the timeline our group followed throughout the implementation of our project. However, there is a lack of funding, awareness, and manpower for these programs. It is through the kindness and initiatives of animal welfare organizations like BARK Mission that stray animals are being fed, sheltered, adopted, spayed, and neutered. Not only does this slow down the overpopulation of animals, but it also provides positive benefits like reduced risk of uterine infection in females and reduced risk for prostate problems in males and prevents drastic solutions like euthanization (forceful killing to lower population). One of the solutions to this is kapon - or the spaying (removal of ovaries) and neutering (removal of testicles) of such animals. The pandemic certainly did not make this any better, as more animals were abandoned due to people not being able to take care of them anymore due to financial problems. This is why it might be easier to train the dog to sleep in their own bed from day one.As of 2019, there are over 2 million stray dogs and cats in the Philippines, fighting over food and shelter, spreading disease, defecating and urinating on public streets, and reproducing - which further increases the number of stray cats and dogs left uncared for. It can become problematic to let your dog think that your bed is their territory, you may lose your authority. Which is why if you let them in to bed you will have to train them to make space, and here consistency is key. Once the dog is in the bed, they will not want to share it. While many dog owners let the dog sleep in the bed with them, it is important to note that this can become a problem. Dog owners might feel safer to know that they have their best buddy at their side, even when they are in dream land. Keep in mind that canines love being with their family, and being around people.ĭepending on the amount of space you have, it can be a good idea to set up two spaces for your dog to sleep: one for the day, for example in the living room close to family life, and one for the night, near or in your bedroom.Īccording to a Mayo Sleep Clinic study, some pet owners report that pets have a calming effect on their sleep. In fact, if you send them to their beds, they might think they have done something wrong and assume they are being punished. You don't have to send them to bed when they need a nap, but they should have a place to call their own. © 123RF/lightfieldstudiosĪs much as our four-legged friends loves to be in the thick of things, they also need a place to relax. Cuddling with a puppy can be all fun and games, but when they grow up, you may find that your bed has become the dog's.
