The double thumbs-up from Uncle Wong this round!
Tong Yut Fun (JoTong) and Wong Woi Kan feed more than 150 street dogs in the Balakong area. Every dog that they can catch is neutered, most of them returned to colony (unless the dog has special needs) and managed for life with dedication and commitment. The younger puppies are rehomed, adult dogs with special needs are either rehomed or relocated to spaces which are safer for them and sick dogs are given medical treatment. Collectively, they have got 75 dogs neutered on their own and under our aid, 187 animals now!
Uncle Wong works as a mechanic while JoTong works as an admin executive in the human resource department at her workplace. JoTong and Uncle Wong use their own money to sustain their CNRM work; they don’t get any donations at all. Even though we help them with our neutering and medical aid, they still need to foot out a lot of their own money to care for the dogs. For example, while we reimburse the neutering charges in full, there is still the boarding fees to cover for a minimum stay at the clinic until full recovery before the dogs can be returned to their original colony. Then, there is deticking with Nexgard which also is not cheap. And sometimes the dogs may have minor issues that require some medication as well. These extras come out from their own pockets.
JoTong and Uncle Wong take turns to feed the dogs daily. They cook rice, sometimes Uncle Wong adds chicken parts he manages to salvage from eateries and this food is supplemented with economically-priced kibble. It is a daunting and very challenging task to feed more than 150 dogs every single day, rain or shine. Besides the expenses, there is the issue of time and energy too. With so many dogs to take care of, the dogs do have other medical issues as well, and JoTong feeds them vitamins and supplements to ensure they remain in reasonably good health. All these expenses are from herself.
We offer our food aid to this large colony of street dogs under JoTong and Uncle Wong’s care because of their exemplary CNRM work where the dogs are neutered, given veterinary care and good nutrition, rehomed where possible and the return-to-colony ones are managed for life with love. We hope the dogs will enjoy the premium kibble and canned food! According to JoTong, the dogs really like the food that we provide, and it can last for more than two weeks each month.
Here are some latest photos of JoTong and Uncle Wong with the dogs.

Clearing up rubbish time!

Clearly, JoTong and Uncle Wong’s compassion knows no bounds. Kudos to both of them for doing this every single day, rain or shine. This food aid is the least we can do to help them.
