(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…

  • Sandra is still up for adoption

    Sandra, the little puppy, along with her other 6 siblings, are all still up for adoption.  I went to visit Sandra and Socks today, both of whom are boarding at our vet’s.  Sandra is indeed a bundle of joy and energy.  She was moving so fast and so much that I could not even take…

  • Puppies for adoption

    It’s a never-ending story, folks.  If we do not actively participate in CNRM, this story will still be told 100 years from now. There are puppies for adoption, and there always will be.  Sundari called me this morning and told me she cannot cope with the four puppies anymore.  We had already taken three from…

  • 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…

  • Appeal to foster a puppy with distemper

    I have just received an urgent appeal from a friend.  Apparently, three puppies were rescued by a lady in Gua Musang, one of them injured.  The three puppies were doing well although the injured one is now slightly disabled.   Unfortunately, all three puppies were tested positive for distemper.  This kind lady did not know much about distemper,…

  • Latest updates on Kuchai Lama dogs

    Our volunteer and a friend went to feed the dogs in the abandoned house in Happy Garden, Jln Kuchai Lama, this evening, and were quite horrified with what they saw and found out.  They counted no less than 11 dogs, and all were hungry. With the help of the neighbours, they managed to feed some of the dogs. …

  • Fosterers urgently required for three great survivors

    We are appealing for fosterers for Perky, Sweetie and Russell.  All three can already be discharged from the clinic today, but we are boarding them until Saturday because none of us was free to take them out.  I was working until 6pm this evening.  Terry is out of town.  Ainey works until 7pm.  If you…

  • Updates on Wendy and Tara

    Today, Tara seems to be doing better than Wendy.  Tara is already off the drip, but still needs antibiotic jabs for the tick fever.  So, Tara cannot be discharged tomorrow, as earlier planned. Wendy looks very down.  She is on drips now.  We are hoping it is just a healing crisis, and she will perk…

  • What PJay needs

    PJay was rescued off the divider on the Federal Highway yesterday by Ainey and brought to the vet’s for treatment.  It is suspected that he had been knocked down by a car.  http://animalcare.my/2010/01/pjay-highway-dog-rescued.html This is what PJay needs:  1. Surgery to repair the fractured femur in his leg. A metal rod will be inserted into the…

  • Updates on the abandoned dogs in Kuchai Lama

    Earlier posting: http://animalcare.my/2010/01/abandoned-dogs-in-kuchai-lama-area.html The lady who alerted me to this yesterday, Rosalind, went with her friend yesterday to feed the dogs.  She writes: Yesterday my friend (who is also very passionate about animals) and I got 3 packets of food for the dogs.  I managed to push in the packets of food beneath the gate…

  • The Tibetan terrier story continues

    I finally received photos of the Tibetan terrier today.  His current owners have named him “Teddy”.  I assume he is male.  Earlier posting: http://animalcare.my/2010/01/tibetan-terrier-up-for-adoption.html A lady by the name of Christie wrote to me last night saying she would like to adopt this dog.  I responded immediately but I have not heard from her yet. …

  • CRITICAL situation at the Klang Dog Pound

    Our friends, Angela and Jimmy donated some dogfood for the Klang Dog Pound (since there is no budget for food over there), and our volunteer, Mandy, came over to collect the food and deliver it to the pound this afternoon. This is what she saw: It’s been an extremely heart wrenching day today when i…

  • Go, Pjay, go!

    Ainey visited PJay after work yesterday.  She writes: After work yesterday, I went straight to the vet’s and Dr Liu showed me the x-rays taken of PJay’s abdomen and right hind leg… my immediate reaction was ‘Ouch, Ouch, OUCH!!’… the femur bone is quite badly broken… poor dog, he’s in so much pain… PJay’s white…
