Please help us help him.






A lady who has been feeding this dog near the PJ Old Town market for over five years called one of our volunteers last week, desperately asking her if we could help treat its scald wounds.
Apparently, someone had splashed boiling oil on the poor dog which was in great deal of pain. Its scald wounds was also infected by the time our volunteer managed to catch it and take it to the vet.
The lady also told us that she knew the family which had abandoned the dog that many years ago.
Our volunteer has admitted the dog at at a veterinary clinic in Petaling Jaya and we would be transferring it to one of our panel clinics as soon as the third degree burns are healed.
That may take months. It will also take months before this dog's wounds are completely healed and it is going to cost us the money that we do not have.
So please people help us help this poor dog - we urgently need to raise money for its treatment and our next payment to the clinic is already due.

Is This Standard Operating Procedures?


This pix appeared in The Star today and shows how dog catchers handle the strays. We rescued a puppy caught by dogcatchers from a pound last year and had to amputate one of its limbs as the nerves were severely damaged. The vet told us that there was a chance the puppy was grabbed and dragged or grabbed and held by the damaged limb. Anyway, this puppy was caught by the Subang Jaya Municipal Council. Situations like this arise due to the poor management of strays and the lack of knowledge of the proper methods. We will continue to help in creating a path for NGOs - including PAWS and the SPCA - to work towards establishing a sound and proper stray management system in the country. We would also like to advise individuals and groups that are not involved in rescuing and managing strays to stop throwing a spanner in our efforts. Spreading lies that we are uploading old pictures will not in any way protect the local councils. It will only result in the pictures with date and time recorded on them being printed out and distributed to the relevant authorities. Please stop sabotaging the MPK in the guise of protecting it!

Now back to the puppy caught by the Subang Jaya Municipal Council - what you can do.
