A message from JoTong yesterday: I have recd the food aid of 30 bags of kibbles, 16 cartons of tin food and 10 cartons of pate food (for the puppies) with million thanks. The delivery reached my office at around 5pm plus when we started feeding and it also started to rain. So I collected a portion myself after I finished feeding and Uncle Wong will collect tomorrow morning. I will take a 2nd batch tomorrow. Thank you so so much to AnimalCare for the generous food aid.
The 9 puppies are being fostered and below are two photos of them at the fosterer’s home. They have also been given their second vaccinations. These puppies were abandoned as newborns along with their mother and other dogs at one of the feeding sites.
Tong Yut Fun (JoTong) and Wong Woi Kan feed about 165 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 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.
