A message from JoTong: We have today received 26 bags of kibbles and 16 cartons of canned food from AnimalCare. Thank you so much as these huge food aid come in handy and at the right time as there were a group of dogs whom were abandoned at Balakong factory area. We could use the extra food aid to feed these pitiful doggies daily as we would very much want to gain their trust and let them know we will feed them. These poor thing look so so lost initially and after seeing us feeding them in day 3, we can see the wagging tails already…..
About these newly-abandoned dogs: It’s huge consignment and it really come in handy as a group of adult dogs and puppies were abandoned almost 10 days ago and I feed them daily as to gain their trust. They all looked so lost.:.:poor thing.
When we heard about these newly-abandoned dogs, we offered to send more food, especially for the puppies, but JoTong says this consignment is enough for the month. We will send more next month.
Tong Yut Fun (JoTong) and Wong Woi Kan feed about 145 street dogs in the Balakong area (and now, about 20 more, so it’s a total of 165 dogs). 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 previously and under our aid, 187 animals (mostly dogs and a few cats). They continue to get street dogs vaccinated and neutered now, sometimes sponsored by friends.
Uncle Wong works as a mechanic while JoTong works as an admin executive in the human resource department at her workplace. They take turns to feed the dogs daily. Besides the canned food and kibble that we provide, they also cook rice, sometimes Uncle Wong adds chicken parts he manages to salvage from eateries. They also supplement with economically-priced kibble on their own. 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 passers-by have commented that the dogs look very healthy.
Here are some latest photos of JoTong and Uncle Wong with the dogs. They really go to extraordinary lengths to ensure every single dog is fed and no dog is left hungry. Every single day.
