  • Of Perks and Sweets

    Perky and Sweetie have been rehomed!!  Together! Yesterday, a lady by the name of Meiling called us and said she had been following Perky’s news ever since she was rescued in December, and now, she would like to adopt Perky.  Oh wow!  That was fantastic news. However, she was worried Perky might be noisy, or…

  • A whale’s gratitude

    I know this has been circulating in the email for many months now, but I’ll just reproduce it here for the benefit of those who might have missed it. It shows to what lengths some humans would go just to rescue a fellow being, and it shows that our fellow animal-friends have gratitude in their…

  • Happy Birthday, and Thank You!

    We’d like to thank my friend and our keen supporter (who has requested for anonymity) for doing something special for us on her birthday, which she celebrated in a meaningful way a week ago. My friend gave a birthday lunch, and requested for no presents, but just donations which would be channelled to two of…

  • Updates on Sean and Tara

    My mum sent me this photo this morning, by mms: It’s Tara and Sean (in the bigger cage). Mum says Tara’s appetite is now very good, and she even barks at strangers! Sean, of course, is as usual.  Playful as ever.  Happy as ever! They get to roam free separately in the driveway because Sean…

  • Little Eva is discharged

    We reached Puchong at about 7.30pm.  Dr Edmund had prepared Little Eva in a cardboard box to reduce contamination in my car and on us (both Ainey and I have dogs at home). Little Eva is one of Kwai Chee’s dogs.  Lizzie was the other one, but she did not survive (parvo).  Both were brought…

  • Looking for a place for Roger

    Roger, our other Klang Dog Pound survivor, can also be discharged already, but we have no fosterer for him.  I talked to the Subang Jaya Buddhist Association (SJBA) president, and he said I could use the space at the back of the temple to foster Roger for a few weeks.  But we would have to go…

  • Next stop – Jackie goes to a fosterer

    Our next stop, after the Kuchai Lama rescue, was to take Jackie “home”.  “Home” is Yi Lin’s house, where she and her family would foster Jackie for a few weeks while we look for an adopter for her. Ainey holding Jackie at the clinic. Jackie exploring Yi Lin’s house while their dog, Chief, looks on.…

  • The Kuchai Lama rescue

    As you know, we have been feeding the abandoned dogs in the Kuchai Lama house for more than a week now.  This afternoon, we finally managed to contact the owner of the dogs, and he most willingly agreed to surrender the dogs to PAWS.  This was also expedited by the fact that someone had contacted DBKL…

  • Hot shots of little Sandra!!

    We are still trying very hard to look for adopters for Sandra and her siblings. Here are her latest photos: Our pretty little lady. How about this pose? Reuniting with sibling. Her wound is healing very well now. Well….all healthy and smart puppies WILL bite things! Sandra is up for adoption. And there are altogether…

  • A waste of time – Oliver’s story

    Oliver and his friends, Mr Fatt and his wife, have been running around so much for Sandra’s family for weeks now.  Yesterday, they went on a “merry-go-round”.  Here’s Oliver’s story: 20/01/10, i received a called from a lady telling me that she is interested in adopting one of sandra’s siblings, i was so happy to…

  • Updates from Meiji

    I received a missed call from Meiji this morning and it gave me a fright.  I thought it was bad news.  When I called back, I was very relieved to hear that all the spayed-neutered dogs are doing well.  Phew!! However, Kwai Chee is sick.  She is down with fever and diarrhoea.  Poor Kwai Chee. …

  • Updates on Jackie and Roger

    Both Jackie and Roger can already be discharged. Roger needs a fosterer to give him his oral antibiotics.  He is very easy to manage and is very good-natured. Jackie is off medication already, but the wound on her innucleated eye needs to be wiped with cotton wool every day.  She would probably have some slight…

  • Like mother, like daughter?

    I just received a call from Dr Loh, the vet at the clinic where Olivia is boarding now. I have not written about this, but Oliver did tell me that Sandra (Olivia’s daughter) is EXTREMELY naughty.  Ever since being fostered by Oliver, Sandra has destroyed all his furniture, bitten on his cables, and even dragged…
