  • Ebony’s updates – she made it through the night!

    Doing animal charity sometimes really gives you near heart-attacks, especially when the the lives of the animals you have just rescued/salvaged is hanging by a thread.   Such is the case with Ebony.  She (Ebony’s female, I found out today) had absolutely pale gums yesterday afternoon, and we managed to salvage her life in the nick of…

  • One Selayang pup goes to a fosterer

    My student, Edy, has agreed to foster two Selayang puppies, and might even consider adopting one later on, if all goes well. Here they are. I lent Edy my cage, and we bought him a pack of Eukanuba puppy food since Cutie (the white and black one) had been on this food at the clinic. …

  • Selayang puppy S.O.S. – a near-death experience!

    I went to check on the Selayang puppies today, and found that one was lying very still and when I checked his gums, it was almost white.  I rushed him quickly to the vet’s. One look at the eyes and gums, and the vet said to me, “Your puppy is going to drop dead any moment.” …

  • Two cages for Selayang pups

    There is an offer from ACC to donate two cages to anyone who is interested in adopting the Selayang puppies.  It would be based on a first-come-first-served basis.  Here is a photo of the cage: L90xW60xH75cm Thank you very much, ACC, for your kind offer. If you wish to adopt any of the Selayang puppies…

  • Baby Leo – updates

    Who is Baby Leo? He’s one of the smallest puppy we rescued from the Selayang Pound. At the vets’, on the day of rescue. Ainey took Leo home to foster, and he’s been making a bit of a fuss over food.  It seems little Leo is very choosy over food.  The poor baby still wants…

  • A quick check on the 8 Selayang puppies

    In between nursing Bobtail and Teddybear, I dashed back to Subang Jaya for a quick check on the 8 Selayang pups now boarded at Healing Rooms for treatment.  According to Dr Vijay, they are all doing well as of today.  Only one had a bit of nasal discharge.  Here are their photos, taken today: Cutie…

  • The 13 Selayang puppies

    Today, we attended to the 13 Selayang puppies.  Our vet advised that if they are eating well and are not displaying any signs that warrant medical attention, it may be wiser to leave them be, as all the travelling to the vet might stress them again.  Yesterday, we brought nine to the vet, and all…

  • Updates on the first adopted Selayang puppy, Tiger

    First, my humblest apologies to David and Terry for getting Terry’s name wrong.  I wonder how on earth I could have misheard it as “Nicholas”!  I must be getting very old.  Terry’s name has been corrected in the previous posting.  Here’s an update from David: Its been a nice experience for my son Terry Tang,…

  • First adoption of a Selayang rescued puppy!

    Would you believe it?  We actually got one of the 23 puppies adopted this evening itself. This is David Tang and his little son, Terry.  Terry liked this little puppy from the 10 small ones we had.  David says it is Terry’s first pet and he is going to learn how to take care of the…

  • From Selayang Pound, straight to the vet’s

    From Selayang Pound, we took nine of the sick-looking puppies to our panel vet, Healing Rooms, for diagnosis and treatment. One of the sick puppies had LOTS of ticks.  Gives you the creeps?  I’m used to picking out ticks, so I’m ok.   As I sat outside Healing Rooms, waiting for the vets to finish two…

  • 23 puppies rescued from Selayang Dog Pound

    Today, we brought cooked chicken to feed the dogs at the Selayang Dog Pound.  Earlier on, our volunteer, Ainey, had said she would like to foster one of the puppies whose photo we had highlighted earlier, so I said I’d ask permission from the pound to take the puppy out.  Hopefully, the pound would let…

  • More grissly photos from the Selayang Pound

    You need a strong stomach to look at these, but this is reality and the problem needs to be addressed very urgently. These photos were taken yesterday: That was all they had previously, plain rice strewn on the floor whenever the caretaker managed to gather scraps and leftovers. A decent meal, yesterday. The one at…

  • More photos of the Selayang Pound

    The dogs at the Selayang Dog Pound have been starving to death for a long time.  The photos you see in this posting were taken yesterday, by our volunteer, Mandy.  But according to another rescuer, this has been happening for a very long time.  Evidence of tick infestation.  The entire pound is infested with ticks.…

  • The dogs at the Selayang Pound need urgent help

    Our volunteer, Mandy, paid a visit to the Selayang Pound today to assess the condition and see how we can help the dogs.  Here are some photos: The place was found to be infested with ticks.  According to the caretaker, there is no provision for food.  They have no food containers at all, so he…
