Most young boys like spending time on things like video games, superhero movies and sports, but Ken, a 9-year-old boy from the Philippines, is spending his free time trying to start an animal shelter(庇护所) for at-risk dogs.
In February, photos of Ken feeding dogs on the street circled the Internet and immediately attracted many people who wanted to help. "I feel sorry for the dogs with no owners while other dogs around the world are being pampered(宠养)," Ken tells Pet360 in an email. "It really wasn't fair. And they are really thin."

When animal lovers found out what Ken was doing, donations started to roll in, and Ken and his father were able to start a non-profit(非盈利的) animal shelter called Happy Animals Club. The donations helped three dogs, Blackie, Brownie and White Puppy, receive high-quality canned food and treatment. After two months with Ken at Happy Animals Club, the dogs look like completely different animals and will be adopted(领养) soon.
In May, Ken and his father hiring a 10,000-square-foot lot(车场), where Ken hopes to build a no-kill animal shelter to help more dogs in need. "I want the dogs to have a home, where they can have shelter, eat and have fun," says Ken.
