Be it ever so humble…
The first photo above shows Bro Sui and his helpers hard at work, covering all possible (big) gaps in the enclosure so that the dogs would not be able to escape during this settling-down period. The other photos show Roli and how the dogs were transported from the van into the enclosure. It was no…

A dream… Now, a beautiful reality!
I have just come back home from Bentong’s LLLF. I’m overwhelmed. What seemed an impossible task – to rehome the Ketam dogs, has now become a beautiful reality. We reached LLLF at about 10.30am, after struggling for some time at SPCA to get the dogs on board the van. The journey was smooth-flowing, and we…

Vegetarian dogs?

We asked Hai Tao Foundation for a favour…

13 is a lucky number – Hai Tao Foundation agrees!
I have been asking the Hai Tao Foundation in Bentong for more than a month now, if they could take some of the Ketam rescued dogs. Their initial reservation was that they do not have a vet coming in to see to the welfare of the dogs. A few days ago, they came back to…
