They were unintentionally left behind by their owners who fled to safer grounds when the local government ordered a forced evacuation when a massive landslide hit Barangay Masara on February 6.Β 

PVO Assistant Department Head Dr. Headyn Cenabre said these pets rescued on February 14 were immediately provided food, supplements, and medical treatment.

Cenabre said they are temporarily housed in an impounding area in the neighboring town of Mawab, Davao de Oro.
