SAN JOSE DEL MONTE, BULACAN, PHILIPPINES, August 28, 2023 — ADM, a global leader in human, pet, and animal nutrition, has partnered with Pawssion Project; a non-profit organization dedicated to rescuing, rehabilitating and rehoming pets to advance pet welfare in the Philippines.

Through ADM Cares, the company's corporate social investment program, ADM's contribution is helping to build a dedicated 25 sqm space within Pawssion Project's shelter specifically for paraplegic dogs and cats. This dedicated space will house a hydrotherapy facility to aid in the rescues' rehabilitation efforts. At the same time, it will support nourishment of all pets. ADM Pet Nutrition will be donating complete and balanced petfood including Ganador® – a high quality dog food suitable for all breeds and life stages; and Minino® – a professional cat food for felines of all ages and sizes.

"At ADM, we truly believe in the power of community and compassion. Our partnership with Pawssion Project is a testament to our unwavering commitment to making a positive impact in the communities where we are present," said Clare Torralba, Director, Pet Nutrition, Asia-Pacific excluding China (APeC). "Pawssion Project has an excellent track record in providing care and homes to rescued pets since 2018, and we were inspired to support their purpose and mission, so they can continue their important work to help improve pet welfare in the Philippines," added Torralba.
