MASDAW (Macau Association for Stray Dogs and Animal Welfare). This association rescues and sterilizes dogs and other animals in need of help in Macau. There are more than 100 dogs in need of a home at MASDAW. We, Inspawration are in awe of this wonderful association in Macau and what they are doing to help these amazing animals. We believe in second chances! Do you? Adopt – rescued is the breed in need.

Anima’s cats paradise is home to hundreds of cats. The amazing thing is that they all roam free! It’s so wonderful to walk amongst the cats and see them in a relaxed environment where they can exhibit their normal behaviours.

Bath Cats and Dogs Home are one of the UK’s leading animal rescue centers. They rehome thousands of abandoned pets each year. This is a charity that is very close to our hearts as we have adopted one of their dogs – our Holly.

Soi Dog Foundation (Soi Dog) was established in 2003 in Phuket, Thailand, to help the street dogs and cats who had no-one else to care for them. Over 50,000 strays roamed the island, with the numbers growing alarmingly due to a lack of sterilisation (spay/neuter) programmes to control the population. Soi Dog was created to provide a humane and sustainable solution to managing the stray population and to address their medical needs. Funding then, as it is now, came entirely from individuals who shared, and continue to share, the vision of our founders.

2024/2025 – Asia’s Pawsitive Change: Volunteering for Dog Rescue

From November 2024 to February 2025, Inspawration embarked on a landmark collaborative project, uniting with major animal welfare organizations across Asia for an intensive and rewarding volunteer program.

HKDR in Hong Kong, the SOI DOG FOUNDATION in Phuket – Thailand, SOSD in Singapore, BAWA in Bali – Indonesia, and AOOW in Cambodia, alongside ANIMA & MASDAW in Macau and the PANCHAIO Animal House in Taiwan.

The core of this initiative was a hands-on, on-the-ground effort focused on two key areas: direct animal care and digital storytelling. Our volunteers dedicated themselves to the essential tasks of dog walking and socialization, providing crucial enrichment and human connection for the rescue animals. Simultaneously, we worked to amplify each organization’s mission by producing a portfolio of creative video content, designed to share their unique stories and adoption appeals with a global audience. Coordinating with such a wide array of large, established groups was a complex undertaking, but the profound impact on both the animals and our team made every challenge worthwhile.

2018/2019 – beach clean up

Our love for this beautiful planet runs deep. It’s a passion we’ve cherished for years, and one that grew even stronger throughout 2018 and 2019 as we explored the great outdoors with our beloved boy, Tika. Watching him sniff on the sand and climb on the rock was a constant reminder of the pure joy that nature provides.

But increasingly, our hearts sank at the sight that greeted us on our own doorstep. It’s truly staggering — and frankly, a little crazy — how much trash, from plastic bottles to forgotten fishing nets, ends up polluting our precious oceans and gets washed up onto the shores of Macau’s beaches. We’d see Tika nuzzle a piece of plastic instead of a seashell, and we knew we couldn’t just be sad about it; we had to do something.

That’s why we made a decision: to move beyond just concern and into action. We committed to hosting monthly community beach clean-ups. We believe that every piece of trash we pick up is a victory. It’s a powerful reminder that with just one small, consistent action, multiplied by a community that cares, we can absolutely make a big, lasting difference for our home, our wildlife, and our future.

2019 – MASDAW rescue mission:

In the early spring of 2019, a critical call to action echoed through the animal welfare community. The government kennels were facing an overwhelming crisis, and countless innocent dogs were on the brink of being euthanized due to severe overcrowding. Answering this urgent plea, Inspawration joined forces with our dedicated partners at MASDAW to launch a scale rescue mission.

This event is a powerful reminder of the ongoing crisis. Every day, shelters are filled with amazing animals waiting for a second chance. That’s why our message is clear and urgent: Please, adopt don’t shop. By choosing adoption, you are directly saving a life and making space for another animal in need. You aren’t just gaining a pet; you’re gaining a loyal friend and becoming a part of the solution. Look past the labels and see the life. Adopt — because ‘rescued’ is the most beautiful breed of all.
