We have fully sponsored RM120 for the neutering of Thong-e. This sponsorship comes from all donors through our Medical Fund (RM50) and Berjaya Cares (RM70). However, we are really sad to hear that Thong-e passed away after one week due to tick fever, which was undetected earlier. We have advised Dr Veeranoot to purchase defleaing spot-on products or sprays to treat all the dogs at the temple.
We wish Thong-e a good life in his new existence. Time is relative, and he had experience love and care from Dr Veeranoot, companionship from his dog-friends, kindness from the temple residents, before leaving this earth.
We thank Dr Veeranoot for redonating the subsidy amount back to our Medical Fund in memory of Thong-e.
More than that, we thank and salute Dr Veeranoot for helping the animals at this temple by doing the needful, ie. getting them neutered and medically treated for illnesses.

Dear Sis Chan,
I am very happy to inform you that a Dog No. 2 has been neutered with ear notched on 12th and he was taken back with safe and sound condition to the temple on 18th July, 2013.
For your information, a Dog No. 3 (female) has been sent to the clinic since 18th July, 2013.
Any amount for this neutering from AnimalCare Society will be used for other dogs in the temple.
Thank you for the opportunity and hope you can kindly consider this request.
Sukhi Hotu!
Nui
At the clinic.
Neutered!
Back to the temple and reunited with his friends.

To: Chan Kah Yein <chankahyein@gmail.com>Dear Sis Chan,I am very sad to inform you that Dog No. 2 has passed on peacefully this afternoon.I went to the temple to take 2 puppies for vaccination. While searching for the 2nd puppy, I saw Dog No. 2 was so frail, couldn’t stand properly, asked a resident monk for help and went off to the clinic.The vet immediately examined his body and showed that he had petechial hemorrhage on certain part of his skin and rectal swab showed sign of internal bleeding. He was given a jab of antibiotic and also subcutaneous fluid (due to his vein collapsed). Tick fever is the most likely diagnosis for his underlying cause of death. In fact, he was also given frontline during the time he was sent for neutering. I noticed that almost 100% of dogs in the temple are affected by tick infestation.A lot of work need to be done and I discussed this issue with a resident monk but there has no any solution thus far. The main reason of this problem is due to it is considered as a dumping ground for dogs in this temple. I can see new faces when the days pass by.Thank you.Sukhi Hotu!Nui

Why are temples often used as dumping grounds for unwanted animals? Maybe it is because the dumpers know that the animals will not be harmed in places of worship, but dumpers cannot assume that the residents of the temple would have the knowledge, time or passion to look after these animals. An animal shelter would be a better place to surrender these animals to.
If you know of anyone intending to dump animals at places of worship, please advise them to check out the nearby animal shelters instead.
