  • 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…

  • Wendy and Tara both have tick fever

    It never rains, but it pours.  I received a call from our panel vet in Puchong today informing me that Wendy had developed tick fever now.  This explains why she became very weak as of yesterday. After half an hour another call came from the vet.  Tara too has tick fever.  Now, both of them…

  • Thank you very much

    Many thanks to Mr Eric Lee and a donor from Australia (who has requested anonymity) for their generous donations towards our fund.  Thank you for helping us continue our work for the animals. May you be blessed with kindness and all good things in life.

  • PJay, the highway dog – rescued

    Yesterday, Ainey had an adventure of her lifetime, and one injured dog, now named PJay, was rescued from the brink of suffering and possible death.  Here’s Ainey’s story: This morning while driving to work, on the federal highway going towards PJ, somewhere after Midvalley, it was jammed… I spotted a dog lying on the road divider…

  • Heartfelt thanks to Dr Yap and his partners

    On 15th Dec, we rescued 36 adult dogs from the Klang Dog Pound.  One of the vets who helped us was Dr Yap, along with two of his assistants.  I have been trying to contact Dr Yap ever since then, because we still have not been able to pay him for his services and the…

  • Are cats expected to use the public toilet?

    I received this request from Zahra Annur.  I think I had best cut and paste her email here as it is self-explanatory: im writing to you regarding Mary. she is a stray who gave birth outside my house and one day she brings all her kittens to my guest room through window. she’s sooo smart.…

  • Abandoned dogs in Kuchai Lama house

    I received an email today from a lady seeking help for some dogs allegedly abandoned in a house after the owner moved.  Apparently, the owner moved about a week ago, and left all his dogs behind.  The front gate was locked and there were about 5-6 dogs.  I have asked the lady to seek advice…
