  • Potential adopter for Oliver’s puppies

    We are glad the news about the mother-dog and 7 puppies in the abandoned house is being circulated.  I just received a call from a Mr Lee who says he would like to adopt one of the puppies for his son as a pet. We are happy too that people are opting to adopt these…

  • Thank you

    We would like to thank Catherine Chin for her generous contribution to our fund. May she be blessed with all good things in life.

  • Jackie’s progress

    We visited the fivesome today – Russell, Wendy, Perky, Sweetie and Jackie.  All five are doing well, according our vet.  We also brought them cooked chicken, but our vet prefers that they be “trained” to eat kibbles.  This is so that in the event they get adopted (that would be a case for rejoicing, for…

  • It is a very sad day today

    Today is an extremely sad day for us.  First thing in the morning, I received the text message from Meiji that the more seriously-ill dog had passed away in the night.  The other one is still fine, and eating very well.  Second, while at work, I suddenly received a call from our panel vet.  The…

  • Meiji has rescued another two litters of puppies

    Meiji tells me she has since rescued another two litters of puppies (about ten or more, in total).  I supposed this increases the number of dogs in her sanctuary to more than 100 now.  There is such a great urgency to do spay-neuter in Raub (or anywhere for that matter).  The rate of breeding of…

  • What I learnt from the vet and other wise people

    Yesterday, when I was talking with our panel vet over the needs of our five dogs (now boarding at his clinic), he told me how to prioritise and do our best for these dogs (or, any dogs for that matter). I would like to share this with you. Our vet said that the most important…

  • One of the two dogs died last night

    The important thing is we tried, and we gave him a chance.  One of the two dogs Meiji brought to the vet in Ampang passed away late last night upon reaching her sanctuary.  Meiji has since buried the dog.  Sigh…that’s life, isn’t it?  Some make it, and some don’t.  Perhaps it was already too late…

  • Updates from Oliver, another dog-angel

    I put up this posting two days ago: http://animalcare.my/2010/01/family-of-dogs-living-in-abandoned.html Oliver has been feeding this entire family every day, and today, he managed to catch the injured puppy and take her to a vet for treatment. Here’s news and photos from Oliver: Today was very lucky for me, i was able to catch the injured puppy and…

  • There IS suffering in life…some news from LLLP

    Our Raub spay-neuter campaign is being arranged now, and Meiji went up to LLLP to collect all the cages we had left there earlier when we did spaying at LLLP on 20th Dec.  I had a chance to speak to Mr Mariappan and learnt that one of the dogs (I dont know whether it’s Ketam…

  • Tara meets Sean

    Tara seemed very down, and she stopped eating today.  So, it’s off to the vet’s again. Ainey visited Tara this evening, and Tara is now on two antibiotics and is put on drips (since she isn’t eating).  But when fed AD, she ate it all up (that’s a good sign). Tara at the vet’s. Tara,…

  • Mdm Sundari’s dog spayed

    We brought Madam Sundari’s female dog for spaying today.  Here’s an earlier posting: http://animalcare.my/2010/01/seven-puppies-up-for-adoption.html We would still have to help Mdm Sundari rehome her seven puppies after this, but at least now, the mother-dog has been spayed and she won’t breed anymore. Mdm Sundari will continue looking after the mother and father dogs.  She just…

  • Jackie’s “mystery” is solved….

    The day started with transporting Wendy to our panel vet because she had diarrhoea, and there was boarding space, we decided to take Perky and Sweetie out as well because both have not been vaccinated and they might pick up all kinds of diseases at the shelter.  Then, it was checking Jackie out.  She has…

  • Two cats CNRM-ed and more to go

    Agnes brought in two cats to be spayed yesterday, at our panel vet.  The sponsorship is jointly shared by AnimalCare and the Metta Karuna Rescue Team. Upon full recovery, these cats will be returned to the colony, and managed by their feeder.    From Bukit Bintang From Wangsa Maju According to Agnes, there is another…

  • A family of dogs living in an abandoned house

    There is a family of dogs (mum and 7 puppies) living in an abandoned half-built house in the outskirts of Subang.  A kind person, Oliver, spotted them a few days ago, and discovered that the mum was skin and bones.  Since then, Oliver has been going daily to feed the family.  The mum was initially very…

  • Sean’s progress

    Here’s Pravinn’s updates on Sean: According to the vet’s assistant, Sean’s recovering very well. He’s still coughing a little, though. Aside from that minor setback, Sean looked very excited to see me and Bala, the moment we walked in. We fed him some rice and meat which he seemed to enjoy thoroughly. If his appetite…
