Canine distemper is a virus that affects a dog’s respiratory, gastrointestinal, respiratory system and central nervous systems, as well as the conjunctiva membrane of the eyes. We have had quite a few cases of dogs that had distemper and were wither dropped off or abandoned by their masters. One of them was Platty, found on the streets with a broken leg and a canine distemper. By the grace of God and the love and care ACGS had to offer him, he has recovered from his distemper but still bears the damage that it caused in the past. Platty loves a nice rub and play time with his gang.

This handsome German Shepherd was abandoned by a high-profile vet into the woods to fend for himself, after he was found to have a skin disease that could be spread to the other dogs at the clinic. Ever since Oreo has been under our care, he has shown massive improvement in his condition and has made new friends who love him and don’t think less of him because of his ailment. It is a travesty how the people who are blindly expected to unconditionally love animals, would conveniently let a dog alone to be killed in the wild.

As part of ACGS’s commitment to the environment and organic food, we have an area with raised at the sanctuary and a farm at a short distance from the sanctuary. The raised beds allow for a yield increase of almost 100% for our vegetables. At the farm, we produce organic green fodder for our herbivores. We have our own organic seed-bank, compost all of our waste and train volunteers in organic farming. In addition, we have completed the construction of an irrigation based water management system which has been in use since October 2017.
