Ready for a home: Santarina will be at the adoption drive in Summit Subang Jaya.Thursday April 7, 2011
Santarina needs a home
SANTARINA and her five siblings were rescued from a dump in Kapar about five months ago. All her siblings have been successful in finding homes except Santarina.
To make matters worse, she has been returned to canine welfare project Malaysian Dogs Deserve Better (MDDB) by prospective adopters.
“Santarina is a very intelligent canine who is calm and cool all the time. She is observant and is also what we call a ‘talking’ dog,’’ said MDDB adoption coordinator Christine Lai.
Lai went on to explain that “talking” dogs usually try to communicate with people and this is misunderstood as howling.
“We hope that people will understand and give beautiful and intelligent Santarina a chance to find a home,” she said.
Santarina will be among the dogs and puppies put up for adoption at MDDB’s adoption drive in Summit Subang Jaya this Sunday.
The adoption drive, to be held at Summit’s main entrance from 11.30am to 7.30pm, will have many other puppies looking for homes.
Lai is also asking for public help as some of the puppies have been put up for boarding in various places because two dogs sent to MDDB’s half-way home came in with distemper infection.
“Because of this we have to pay for boarding as well as pay for distemper treatment which is very expensive,’’ said Lai.
The two infected dogs are doing fine and are quarantined at the half-way home.
Distemper treatment includes putting the dogs on a high protein diet as well as giving them immune boosters and medicines to prevent pneumonia and other secondary infections, said Lai.
“We need financial help to see us through this bad period in our half-way home,’’ she said.

Members of the public can also contribute donations such as rice, bleach, detergent canned and dry dog, puppy, and cat and kitten food at the adoption drive.

薩塔麗娜(SANTARINA)和她的五個兄弟姐妹狗狗獲救從一個Kapar的垃圾場約五個月前。她所有的兄弟姐妹已成功被領養除了薩塔麗娜(SANTARINA)。
更糟的是，她已經回到狗狗福利項目的馬來西亞狗隻保護協會（MDDB）由準領養。
“薩塔麗娜(SANTARINA)是一個非常聰明的狗，在所有時間都是平靜和冷靜的心態。她善於觀察，也就是我們所說的會說話的狗，''MDDB協調員賴小姐說道。
賴小姐接著解釋說，'會說話'的狗通常試圖與人交流，這是咆哮的誤解。
“我們希望市民能夠理解，給美麗又聰明Santarina有機會找到一個家園，''賴小姐說。
薩塔麗娜(SANTARINA)將會與其它的狗狗出現在MDDB的領養活動，地點在Summit Subang Jaya這個星期日（4月10日）。
狗狗領養活動將舉辦在Summit的主要入口，從上午十一時三十分至晚上七時三十分，也將會有其他的小狗尋找新的家庭。
賴小姐還要求公眾協助一些小狗寄宿在不同的地方，因為有兩隻小狗送到MDDB的收留所帶來瘟熱感染。
“正因為如此，我們必須支付寄宿以及瘟熱治療，這是非常昂貴的費用，''賴小姐說。
這兩隻受感染的狗狗的情況都很好，並隔離在收留所。
狗狗瘟熱的治療包括將在高蛋白飲食以及給予他們的助推器和免疫預防肺炎的藥品及其他繼發感染，賴小姐說。
“我們需要財政幫助我們渡過最壞的時期在我們的收留所，''賴小姐說。
