ADOPTION DRIVE

Adopt a puppy


PROFESSIONAL bodybuilder Terry Gallyot may be big and tough but when it comes to dogs, he’s a hardcore softie at heart.

The former 1999 Mr Asia, who is a staunch supporter of canine welfare project Malaysian Dogs Deserve Better (MDDB), is currently very concerned about the welfare of stray dogs.

His current endorsement is a four-month old puppy named Trillion that was saved just in time before he was put to sleep at a local council pound.

Dog lover: Gallyot with Trillion

Trillion’s fate changed when MDDB rescue coordinator Irene Low had gone to the pound to ‘bail out’ several dogs that had been caught.

“Trillion rushed to the enclosure’s gate and started whining and looking at me with pleading eyes.

“When I bent down to pet him, I noticed tears in his eyes,’’ said Low who immediately saved Trillion from death and took him home to be fostered.

Trillion will be one of the puppies that will at MDDB’s adoption drive at Jaya One from 11.30am to 7.30pm on Sunday March 20.

The adoption drive will be located at Block NB1, facing Station 1 and Old Town White Coffee.

“We hope that Trillion will find a home as he deserves a loving human family,’’ said Low.

Meanwhile, MDDB adoption coordinator Christine Lai said Kota Alam Shah assmblyman M. Manoharan will host an adoption drive at his service center on Sunday, March 27 from 11am to 6pm.

The service centre is located at 7A, Persiaran Raja Muda Musa and is between the Klang traffic police contingent headquarters and Hin Hua High School.

She said those wanting to make donations to MDDB and its feline welfare counterpart Malaysian Cats Care Project (MCCP) can also drop off the dog or cat items at both venues.

Do NOT SPEAK FOR THOSE YOU DO NOT REPRESENT.

We were alerted to Petnegative Anthony Thanasayan's tweet "Don't Field Ean And Teo In Next GE, Say Animal Activists" and would like to warn him not to speak for those whom he and his cronnies do not represent. MDDB and several other real animal welfare groups - are manned by volunteers who are animal activists at every sense. They rescue, rehome as well as treat and manage cats and dogs. We do not emerge to give press conferences and issue statements only when something happens. Two articles, one in the Malaysian Chronicle and the other on Free Malaysia Today states that the memorandum submitted in parliament by Malaysian Animal Welfare Society (MAWS), Malaysian Animal Rights Society (ROAR), Petpositive, and Lawyers for Liberty against Teo Nie Ching and Ean Yong Hian Wah - is a protest by animal activists and civil society groups. These people better be informed that they only represent themselves and not animal activists whih includes us. We will be writing a strongly worded letters to the chief editors of both portals and request their reporters to be more careful when wording such articles.
