  • All lives are precious – updates and reminiscence

    Good morning everyone.  It’s Sunday morning, and I start off today with a touching story of the reunion between Sandra and her mum yesterday.  Sandra was the injured puppy in the colony at the abandoned house, looked after by Oliver Kua.  Oliver managed to take Sandra for treatment and surgery, then Sandra was boarded at…

  • PJay, on the road to recovery

    Ainey and I dropped in to see PJay today.  He is on the road to recovery.  The surgery took 2 hours where the vet inserted a metal plate to correct the fractured femur on his leg.  PJay is expected to be able to stand in a few days’ time.  For the time being, he is…

  • Roger is doing well

    Here’s another gentledog, Roger.  Roger was diagnosed with tick fever a few days ago.  He has responded well to treatment and is now looking good, and feeling good!  Roger is estimated to be about 5-6 years old.  He is very gentle.  He is also up for adoption. 

  • Jackie is much, much better now

    I almost could not recognise Jackie today.  She looked much, much better.  I was actually looking at the other cages, looking for her!  Little did I know that there she was, the dog standing up and wagging her tail at me! This is far cry from what she was a few weeks ago when all…

  • Perky, Sweetie and Russell

    Our next stop was back in Subang Jaya, to discharge Perky, Sweetie and Russell.  Ainey says she will foster Perky since Perks is very small-sized.  So, Sweetie and Russell would have to go back to PAWS for the time being. The two “sisters”, Perky and Sweetie. Perky is the more active of the two, and…

  • Wendy still down, Tara goes home

    Wendy was still very down.  It pained my heart very much to see her twitching.  Wendy was lying down.  But the vet said the good thing is that she still finishes all her food.  Her appetite gives us hope.  Fight on, Wendy.  Get well soon. Wendy is still on the drip. Meanwhile, Tara’s appetite has…

  • An SOS from Meiji

    First thing this morning, I received an SOS from Meiji.  She was down here in Setapak, and had brought with her, two of Kwai Chee’s puppies.  Meiji suspects both were down with the Parvo virus.  I offered her to bring the puppies for an diagnosis and treatment at our panel vet in Puchong, so off…

  • Updates on Cinderella

    Cinderella was one of the many dogs we managed to rescue from the Klang Dog Pound in December.  Cindy at the pound on 15th Dec. Rescuing Cindy on 16th Dec.     Cindy being examined by the vet after she was rescued.  The vet believed her wounds have been caused by acid scald.  Surprisingly also, she…

  • What other countries do, and what we can/should do

    When the earthquake occured in Szechuan, efforts were made to rescue the pandas. When the bush fires happened in Australia, efforts were made to save the koalas. Now, an earthquake has happened in Haiti, causing massive destruction and suffering to humans and animals.  I read that some efforts are being directed to help the stray…

  • Photos of the abandoned dogs in Kuchai Lama

    I have been highlighting this case for a few days now.  Apparently (according to the neighbours), this family had kept many (as many as 20 at one time) dogs in their house compound.  Two weeks ago, they moved out, and left all the dogs behind.  The dogs do not have any food.  A good samaritan…

  • Thus have I heard…

    I have written about this before, but I think it’s timely that I repeat myself again….In Thailand, the people are very animal-friendly. The Thais seldom ever abandon their pets. Thailand actively promotes and practises TNR – the stray animals are neutered, their left ear is tipped and released back into the colony. These tipped-eared animals…

  • Indian laws as they apply to stray animals

    Source: http://www.petaindia.com/straylaws.html In India, it is against the law to: • Give an animal any injurious substance. It is illegal to put out poisoned food. (PCA, Section 11)• Transport any animal in any manner that will cause him or her unnecessary suffering. This includes loading cows into trucks without ramps and overcrowding the vehicle as…

  • Updates on Wendy and Tara

    From Ainey’s visit today: Wendy is still the same, she doesn’t look too good… her twitchings broke my heart… she just laid in her cage, but she did wag her tail… i talked to her again, told her to get well soon… Dr Liu said Wendy’s appetite is good, so that’s something to be happy…

  • Updates on the Kuchai Lama dogs

    Our volunteer was at the scene again this evening, together with Oliver Kua, who is also volunteering to help feed the dogs.  We brought a big pack of dogfood and handed it over to the neighbours. Apparently, two of the dogs may be injured or ill.  This is not surprising if they have been left…

  • Updates on PJay

    Ainey’s updates on PJay: when i reached the vet’s tonight, PJay’s surgery had just completed not too long ago… he has not awaken from the anesthetic when i saw him… Dr Edmund then showed the x-rays he took after the surgery… he explained about the metal rod and wires that were used… the whole surgery…
