We should treat our aspins the same way we take care of purebred dogs. In fact, we should treat all dogs as a member of our family. They give so much love and yet only ask for so little.
Happy National Aspin Day! 🐕🐕🐕🐕

To celebrate National Aspin Day, PAWS is launching the “I ❤️ My Aspin” campaign featuring Alden Richards, our newest celebrity spokesperson who will join Heart Evangelista in promoting aspins.
The “I ❤️ My Aspin” campaign aims to encourage Pinoy aspin owners to be proud of their native dogs and to be responsible pet parents to them. Joining Alden for this campaign is his lovable 7-year old aspin, Chichi, who will appear with the actor in various ads to promote aspins and aspin adoption.
Asked why he agreed to do this campaign, the actor said that he could not imagine life without his dogs. “My family has always had dogs. May purebreeds, may aspins. We love them all equally and I can say na grabe din sila magmahal unconditionally. Pero napuna ko na merong talagang discrimination – pag may nagtatanong kung anong breed yung a*o nila, ang usual na sagot “Aspin lang” or makakarinig ako minsan ng “bakit ka pa gumastos sa vet eh aspin lang naman yan?” Pag naririnig ko yun, nasasaktan ako for Chichi.
“Napakalambing ng mga aspins. Pag may lumalapit sa aking mga tao or nag pe-pretend ako na umiiyak, lumalapit agad si Chichi to check on me – ganun syang ka-protective at kalambing, So I really feel bad pag nakakarinig ako ng mga comments na minamaliit ang aspin. Lahat ng a*o, dapat tinuturing na part of the family. Common pa rin kasi yung maling pag-iisip na pag native dogs, pwedeng hindi na masyado alagaan kase matibay naman sila. But that is so unfair.
“With this campaign, I want to tell everyone na I am a proud aspin parent. I think the aspins need to be talked about more – how they make great pets and that they deserve na magkaron ng pamilya na mamahalin at magmamahal sa kanila.”
