I and my wife are both animal lovers. We have plenty of domestic animals which are from different descendants because we are fond of rescuing and adopting abandoned pet animals from their respective ruthless owners. To sum up, all in all we have 14 dogs (inluding 3 puppies) and 9 cats (including 3 kittens) all were rescued and adopted by us.
They are all locally breed due to the fact that in our country the most that are thrown away and neglected are those local breed. Sometimes it feels funny, we decided not to rescue and adopt anymore because our house are already congested of rescued animals, it is easier said than done because we can't afford to neglect and ignore the cries and shout of those kittens and puppies (begging for help) that were left behind the streets and in garbage bins. As usual, the same thing happen, we still bring them home.
Our country is not serious on animal welfare though there is already an ordinance protecting animal's right. There are still some individuals who keep abusing animals. We really love our pets, we could not even afford to give some of them or to be adopted to other people if we don't know how they really care an animal pets. We are not rich in terms of financial capacity but we struggle hard not to let them be hungry. We even sacrifice our own food necessisities just secure them first especially this pandemic times.
Some people don't understand us, they think we're crazy couple adopting lots of animals and let them stay with us. But, we understand them because they are not like us. Only animal lovers understand us.
Are you too an animal lover? How much you love your pets?

do you plan to have them sterilized so they don't multiply?

Yes. Actually, our community offered free spaying or neutering but it happens only twice a year but they would just allowed two animals every household hence it will take more time before we spayed or neutered them all. Aside from food budget this is our mean problem, to stop them from multiplying. There's no medicine that you can buy in pharmacy or from any vet doctor that would stop female from conceiving. Thanks much for your concern, I really appreciate it.

I really admire what you too are doing for these helpless animals. And I am sure your huge family of animals there give you back a lot of love and affection. Well as far as people are concerned, not all will understand that it takes a noble heart to do such a noble job.

Well done for saving pet animals in the Philippines. I have two pet dogs that I adore. I also have five gerbils. They live in two separate cages. I give them lots to do. They have carboard tubes to chew, sand to bathe in and treats in their diet. I love to feed my dogs and take them out for a lovely walk. I really love animals and I eat a vegan diet.
