Most young boys like spending time on things like video games,superhero movies and sports,but Ken,a 9-year-old boy from the Philippines,is spending his free time trying to start an animal shelter(收容所) for at-risk dogs.
In February,photos of Ken feeding dogs on the street circled the Internet and immediately attracted many people who wanted to help."I feel sorry for the dogs with no owners while other dogs around the world are being pampered(宠养),"Ken replied when asked by a reporter from Pet360 about his choice."It really wasn\’t fair.And they are really thin."
When Ken began feeding the dogs which had health problems,they would not let the boy come close.But after several feedings,the dogs warmed up to Ken and allowed the boy to help them.When animal lovers found out what Ken was doing,donations(捐赠)started to roll in,and Ken and his father were able to start a non-profit(非盈利的) animal shelter called Happy Animals Club.The donations helped three dogs,Blackie,Brownie and White Pappy,receive high-quality canned food and treatment.After two months with Ken at Happy Animals Club,the dogs look like completely different animals and will be adopted (领养) soon.
In May,Ken and his father hired a 10,000-square-foot lot(停车场),where Ken hopes to build a no-kill animal shelter to help more dogs in need."I want the dogs to have a home,where they can have shelter,eat and have fun,"says Ken.
Ken wants to save dogs from the city pound where most animals are put down.Right now,Ken doesn\’t have enough money to start the shelter.If you also want to save homeless dogs,you can visit the Happy Animals Club\’s website and offer some help.
