    Here’s Luna, Liberty, Piccolo, Piccola, BooBoo, Cuddly and Buddy at LLLF. Have a great new life, dear friends!! We’ll be taking another 6 from the 1st and 2nd batches to LLLF.

  • 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…

  • The dogs’ new home

    Here’s a photo of Bro Sui and one of his helpers cementing the area where the dogs would be housed tomorrow. Our volunteer, Chinkah, was up there today, to deliver 10 packs of food, and he also helped Bro Sui buy the cement from Bentong town. The cement is sponsored by AnimalCare. I called Bro…

  • LLLF updates (from Bentong)

    Right now, as I am writing this, our volunteer, Chinkah has just sent the first 10 packs of vege food to Bentong. Take a look at the photo – the LLLF dogs (who have been on rice and eggs) seem to be enjoying the food very much. Over at SPCA, Shahrul tells me the Ketam…

  • Vegetarian dogs?

    Hi everyone,Many have written to me asking why the Bentong-bound dogs have to be vegetarian. Some have expressed concern saying that dogs are supposed to be carnivorous and meat protein is needed in their diet. Let me clarify here that it is NOT my choice at all. We asked Hai Tao Foundation for a favour…

  • A visit to the Lotus Life Liberation Farm in Bentong

    We have been working very, very hard, doing our best to get the first and second batches of the Ketam rescued dogs adopted. And after more than a month’s negotiation, the Hai Tao Foundation has most graciously agreed to take the first 13 dogs. Today we made a quick visit to their Lotus Life Liberation…

  • The 2nd Klinik Kembiri on Pulau Ketam (25th July 2009)

    It’s been a long and fruitful day! We went down to Pulau Ketam today, to help out in the 2nd Klinik Kembiri organised by SPCA. PAWS sent a team of volunteers too. And there was even a team of dog handlers who came to put up a obedience show for the Ketam folks. I was…

  • 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…

  • Karuna: Please give me a home…

    “My name is Karuna. Would anyone like to please give me a home?” Dear Friends, Karuna is one of the 14 dogs rescued from Pulau Selat Kering in the first rescue mission in May 2009. Currently there are 28 dogs awaiting adoption at SPCA but we are working very hard to find homes for the…

    AnimalCare and the Subang Jaya Buddhist Association had funded the medical treatment (and provided other needs) of the first 14 dogs rescued by SPCA from the dreaded Pulau Selat Kering. The dogs are now in good health, most of them are sociable, and 6 have already been spayed. The rest will be spayed very soon.We…

  • Appealing for adopters for rescued Ketam dogs

    We are arranging for the rehoming/adoption of the rescued Ketam dogs currently housed at SPCA. There was a total of 14 dogs from the first and second batches whose medical we had sponsored in full (blood tests, vaccination, wound treatment, one surgery and spaying, micro-chipping – they are ready to be rehomed as pets). These…

  • Supporting Klinik Kembiri on Pulau Ketam (27th June 2009)

    27th June marked the start of SPCA’s Spay & Neuter Clinic on Pulau Ketam. AnimalCare and I-SAW, together with volunteers from Petster and other groups, formed street teams to help out. We talked to the residents to encourage them to bring their pets and the stray animals in for spaying and neutering. We also did…

  • They Need a Home

    We have been making visits to SPCA to see the 12 (now 14) dogs rescued from Hell Island. They just love the food that we bring – home-cooked chicken and rice! AnimalCare has also been paying for their medical bills so far. We’ve also bought 5 cages and 2 stand-fans for them. All have been…
