  • My mum adopts Tara!!

    My mum has decided to adopt Tara!  According to mum, a few days ago, she had a vision in her mind that a dog would come into her life, and it looked like an alsatian.  Yesterday morning I told her about Tara and asked if she would be interested to foster her for the duration…

  • The foursome at PAWS

    Yesterday, we brought back 7 dogs from Bentong, suspected to be unwell.  Four were boarded at PAWS, thanks to Edward’s kind offer.  We went to visit today, to feed them some cooked chicken, and to give them their medicine.  This is the little one I was most worried about.  Yesterday, when they arrived in the…

  • Vaccination for the males in Bentong (Klang rescue)

    Ainey and I made the trip up to Bentong again today.  The SPCA team was coming up to vaccinate the males and give them anti-tick treatment.  The first thing we did when we arrived was to give the Vetri DMG (immune booster) to the dogs that did not look too good.  This is one of…

  • A new day in Bentong again

    Good morning, everyone.  Today will be another day of save and rescue up in Bentong.  The SPCA team is going up with us today.  I hope their vets can help us identify the sick ones and I have been working non-stop last night, as well as right now, sourcing for space here so that we…

  • Urgent help required

    Urgently needed – a fosterer for a small-sized female dog (alsatian mix) with distemper.  Ideally, the fosterer must not have any other dog (but fully-vaccinated dogs are protected from distemper).  Medication will be provided.  We just need your tender loving care to feed the medicine and look after the dog.  If you can help, please text…

  • Nine females spayed, urgent help needed

    All of us started our day very early this morning.  By 7.20am, PingSu, Ainey, Pravinn and I were already waiting at the clinic for our vet, Dr Khor.  Here’s the grooming table Dr Khor had borrowed for today’s spaying. That’s the paraphernalia needed for today – so many things!  Dr Khor and his three very capable…

  • The faces of hope, and forlorn

    This morning, we will be making a trip up to Bentong.  I woke up at 3.30am this morning, and couldn’t go back to sleep.  While I know worrying is a waste of time, at the back of my mind, I have been worrying about some of the dogs we brought to Bentong on 15th Dec. …

  • All set for tomorrow’s trip to LLLP

    It’s almost midnight now, and I’ve just packed everything (that I can think of) into my car, all set for tomorrow’s trip to LLLP. Our purpose of going up tomorrow is to start with the spaying of the 15 female dogs.  Dr Khor has very kindly consented to come up to do it, closing his…

  • Thank you for your good wishes and help

    I’d like to thank all well-wishers for their support and kind words.  It helps to know that there are all of you out there rooting for us, and doing your best to help us even though you could not be physically present to help us with the rescue work. To Alicia Horsley, thank you for giving…

  • One rescued puppy has passed away

    http://animalcare.my/2009/12/12-puppies-rescued-from-klang-dog-pound.html If you remember, we rescued 12 puppies from the Klang Dog Pound on 14th December, and they were handed over to MDDB for treatment and fostering.  Eight of these puppies were tested positive for distemper/parvo/corona and MBBD appealed for volunteers to help foster them.  They had to be separated from healthy dogs.  Our volunteer,…

  • Offer to help the 36 dogs

    This evening, SPCA’s chairperson, Ms Christine Chin, sent me two messages to share our joy in having rescued these 36 dogs.  I thanked her most kindly.  I had also been advised by friends that SPCA, through MissionHelp, might be able to spay-neuter for free under their existing campaign, so I enquired if this was possible.…

  • “Cinderella” and 10 more rescued today (Klang Dog Pound)

    Remember her?  She is the one with the facial wound, and she wanted very much to go with us yesterday, but our vet reminded us that we had no vet in Bentong to treat her, and her wounds might go from bad to worse.  Also, LLLP had set the condition that we could only bring…

  • The plight of the Klang dogs at the pound

    First thing this morning, I received two missed calls from MPK – I had to go down to pay the reclaimation fees for the 36 dogs we rescued yesterday.  I know, and I remember, but I was just still quite dead tired from yesterday’s rescue and me getting lost in Bangsar (more because of the latter, actually!).   So, off…

  • 36 innocent lives rescued today (Klang Dog Pound)

    I started the day by submitting our letter of appeal for the waiver of the reclaimation fee to MPK.  I managed to see the officer concerned at about 8.20am.  He said he could not waive the fee, so I still had to pay, though, a reduced sum.  And that was that.  So, despite the help…
