Iffy is the King of escape artists. This gorgeous guy found so many ways to escape from his kennels to be with us in the main house, that eventually we just let him stay because he is so well behaved. He’s totally relaxed now and he’s a very sweet guy, great with people and the other dogs.

Iffy came from Boracay Island, which is one of the main tourist spots in the Philippines. Sadly, years of neglect had rendered the island into an unmanageable mess with no infrastructure to back up the endless flow of incoming tourists. Therefore the government decided early 2018 that the island had to be closed to tourists for 6 months to start a cleanup program. This in turn led to many Filipino workers returning to their home islands, leaving any animals that they were feeding behind. Many of these unfortunate animals ended up in the infamous Boracay dog pound, where they are euthanised after a few days. AARRC took in over 50 of these poor souls, rescuing their lives.
