9-year-old starts animal shelter in his garage, is sweetest kid ever! »

The story of young Ken in the Philippines has been making the rounds lately and I’m sure you can see why. The kind little boy has started his own no-kill, non-profit animal shelter! With the help of donors around the world.

He always wanted to start an animal shelter to help the stray dogs that lived near him, but his dad told him he would need money to feed all those animals–which he didn’t have. Then this picture of him feeding some stray dogs got attention on the internet:

People from all over began to send money in to help Ken start his shelter! He set up shop in his garage and has been helping animals ever since.

How cute is this story? Look! He even accounts for the food he buys! And he has these wonderful journal entries in the gallery:

The dogs were brave enough and trusted me so they could come very near me now.so that’s how i took the dogs here. We also bought 4 dog bowls for white puppy and his family but i wasn’t able to get Hoppy because i didn’t see him so for now only White Puppy, Blackie and Brownie are staying with us. we invited the vet Doctor G into our garage to check on the dogs and he scrapped some skin off the dogs to find out what kind of mange they have.he also injected them to help weaken the mange. Doctor G said,i have to give them a bath with a special shampoo for their mange with warm water.i hope they will get better soon so someone will adopt them but Doctor G said it will take a while.

I, for one, AM DYING.

I leave you with this excerpt from the gallery:
