Our volunteer, Mandy, paid a visit to the Selayang Pound today to assess the condition and see how we can help the dogs.
Here are some photos:
The place was found to be infested with ticks. According to the caretaker, there is no provision for food. They have no food containers at all, so he had been using paint pails to fill water for the dogs. On his own initiative, the caretaker collects food scraps to feed the dogs whenever he can. The food is just strewn on the floor. He feels very sorry for the dogs too.
There were a few dead dogs at the pound as well.
We donated 12 food basins, and MDDB donated water pails, bleach and two packs of dogfood. At least the dogs had food and water today.
We will check on the food supply in a few days and replenish it. The caretaker will inform Mandy once the food is nearly finished.
There are about 30 dogs at the pound as of today.
What the dogs need would be:
1. Food supply – if you can donate food, please send it to the pound. The food containers are already there now.
2. Medical treatment – some of the dogs are sick and may need treatment.
3. If you have the capacity to rescue these dogs and rehome them, that would be the best.
It is so very sad that these poor dogs are subject to such a miserable life at the pound where the basic necessity such as food and water are not even available.
Please help them, if you can.
I’m just a little puppy. Please take me out of here…

this is sad real sad. this will be never ending story from our local dog pound. and worst part is why our local SPCA did not do our voice out anything on this… really have zero confidence on our SPCA.
I heard that SPCA did offer help, but their help was turned down. I also learnt from a friend that she has been barred from the pound now. She used to go in and feed the dogs regularly.
But let's do what we can within our capacity and help these dogs. I have learnt that there is no point expecting others to do what we think they should do.
Ask, "what can I do?", and just do it.
After the Klang rescue, AnimalCare does not have the resources nor the capacity to rehome these dogs now. So we do what we can – supply what is needed to lighten their suffering.
Fully agree with Kah Yein. We just do what we can and encourage others to do so too. We cannot expect everybody to do what we want them to do. If you talk to SPCA they can also blame the public for not neutering their pets, etc..
