  • Farewell, Perky (rescued dog from Klang Pound, 15 years ago)

    15 years ago, during our start-up gungho days, we did pound rescues. Perky was one of the many dogs rescued from the Klang Pound when that pound decided to mass-euthanise the dogs. We managed to find a farm in Bentong which was willing to take all the dogs provided we supplied food every month. All…

  • Our new “Rescue” page on the menu bar

    I have spent the last few hours compiling some of the more interesting “rescue” cases we have collectively done in the past and present. The contents below is now compiled into a page and available on the menu bar for easy reference. Please feel free to share the page with anyone who might need ideas…

  • Hello Perky!!!

    It was in December 2009 when we had first started (in May that year) that we were gung-ho enough (as with all newbies!) to do pound rescues. Our first pound rescue was from the Klang pound and Perky was one of our rescues. Perky has always been special to me because we took all the…

  • Perky says hi!

    We rescued Perky from the pound in 2009 and she almost did not make it. She was neutered in Bentong along with the other dogs at the safehouse over there, but she was bleeding after the vet left, so we brought her back and I pressed on her wound throughout the journey to stop the…

  • Updates on Sean (our distemper survivor, from his owner, Charlie)

    In our first year (2009), we did some rescue work, and one of our rescues was Sean. Sean was rescued from the Klang Dog Pound on the day he was due to be euthanised. He tested positive for distemper, but due to the benefit of youth, he only had a cough and some diarrhoea. He…

  • Tara’s TVT jabs

    Do you remember Tara?  She was one of the 36 dogs we rescued from the Klang Dog Pound in December 2009 and was diagnosed with distemper.  We brought her back from Bentong, got her treated (she was hospitalised, on the drip), my mother fostered her for some months before we got her adopted by Annee’s family.…

  • Tara meets Boy

    We took Tara to meet “Boy”.  Boy is the labrador rescued at the temple about a week ago when he was being attacked by eight stray dogs nearby.Boy is now doing well and according to Harsha, Boy appears to be a good watchdog as he barks at strangers.  Harsha has also given Boy a bath,…

  • Meeting Jennifer and Tara

    Jennifer and Tara came over to the SJBA to meet up with me today.  It was such a pleasure for me to meet both of them.  It’s been months since I last saw Tara – she has grown so much…!! Hi Tara….!! Tara and Jennifer It is truly so heartwarming to see how lovingly Jennifer’s…

  • Updates on Sean

    Sean is one of the dogs we rescued from the Klang Dog Pound.  He was treated for distemper and mange, and subsequently fostered by my mother for 8 months.  Sean was neutered and also vaccinated.  About two months ago, Sean was adopted by Charlie and his family.  Charlie just texted to say that Sean is…

  • Sean, up for adoption

    ADOPTED! Sean was rescued in Dec 2009 from the Klang Dog Pound.  He was then tested positive for distemper and the only symptoms were diarrhoea and a slight cough.  He was treated for both and recovered very quickly.  Sean has been fostered by my mother since then and he is now more than ready for…

  • Sweetie goes to Meiji’s farm

    We’d like to express our deepest appreciation to Dayani Chin and her husband, Purna, and also their dog, Mitra, for having fostered Sweetie for so long.  Sweetie looks so much prettier and healthier now, compared to the time she had just recovered from tick fever and TVT after she was rescued from the Klang Dog…

  • Updates on Perky, a Klang Dog Pound survivor

    Perky is one of our Klang Dog Pound survivors.  She was rescued in December 2009 along with many others.  Perky was spayed, treated and subsequently adopted by Meiling.  Here’s a photo update from Meiling: According to Meiling, Perky is still as “perky” as ever.  She looks really well and happy, too. Thank you, Meiling!

  • Russell rehomed

    Russell has been finally rehomed to Meiji’s farm.  According to Meiji, Russell is very happy inside his cage.  I guess he feels safer inside the cage since he has been in a cage for almost four months now.  I hope in time, Russell will venture out and enjoy the freedom of living in a farm. …

  • Sean and Tara’s updates

    Sean and Tara went for their booster vaccination today.  Tara was given a clean bill of health. Tara is now very, very strong. Sean’s demodex doesn’t seem to have recovered as much as it should have, so the vet thinks he may have a food allergy as well.  He will continue with the oral ivermectic,…

  • Updates on Jackie, the supposedly blind dog

    Jackie is the “blind” dog we rescued from the Klang Dog Pound.  One eye was badly injured, and we had it innucleated.  The remaining eye was also suspected to be blind.  She was very depressed at the clinic, and many-a-time, we thought she was dying of depression.  After being fostered by Yi Lin and family,…
