GOLDIE AND THE WITCH

http://malaysiandogsdeservebetter.blogspot.com/2010/06/please-help-us-help-this-poor-pup.html



Goldie was rescued from a pet shop in June last year after the shop owner did not know what to do with her. All her siblings had been sold but Goldie was stuck at the shop because she was blind. She was taken from the shop and fostered by our friend Rena pending consultation with a South African animal eye specialist regarding her eyes. Several months later the consultation took place but Goldie’s eyes were found to have been too badly damaged for any rectification to be done. Goldie was found to be very healthy other than being blind and suffering from slight brain damage due to distemper infection when she was a pup. Rena continued to foster here as we were desperately looking for an adopter or a long term fosterer who could give Goldie love and attention.
We thought we had found Goldie a good home when two people from a religious organisation, known for its great philanthropic work, wanted to take Goldie in. The lady HL took some time to ponder about it and decided that she wanted Goldie. We were initially skeptical and called her to find out if she could really cope with caring for Goldie.
She felt insulted and was rather rude and reiterated that she wanted Goldie and would take good care of her. She then took Goldie and Rena kept in constant touch with HL who kept feeding Rena, what we have now discovered, lies that Goldie was doing fine. A few weeks ago we were told that her friend M (who had come to find out about Goldie with HL) had put Goldie at a veterinary clinic for temporary boarding while his house was being renovated.
We were told that he was building a special enclosure for Goldie to allow her to run around. We were deliriously happy………until two days ago when a tearful Rena called to say that HL had told her that Goldie had been put to sleep because she suffered from multiple medical conditions. HL also claimed that this was done by another person who had taken over Goldie and she also blamed M for everything.
HL told Rena that the veterinary clinic which had put Goldie to sleep had sent her remains to the SPCA for disposal. She refused to say which veterinary clinic and feigned ignorance – putting the blame on the so-called new adopter. (Anyway she should have told us that Goldie was being adopted by someone else per our regulations. However, HL was lying through her teeth as there wasn't a new adopter as claimed by her.)
We were shocked and devastated and wanted Goldie’s remains to at least give her a decent final farewell. We called M and he revealed that he had not seen Goldie from the time HL had taken her from us. Since we were not in a position to do any sleuthing and Rena was in a bad shape after hearing the latest development, we called our friend Dr Chan Kah Yein to help us out.
We requested her to help obtain Goldie’s remains. We were relieved to hear from her that Goldie was yet to be euthanized and was at the SPCA. Dr Chan immediately told the SPCA manager Dr Lim not to put Goldie to sleep as Rena would be going to the shelter to get her.
Rena did not sleep the whole night and left for the SPCA at 5.00am and was waiting at the gate when the SPCA vet Dr Pushpa arrived at 7.30am. She had gotten to Goldie just in time as the poor dog had indeed been scheduled for euthanasia. Further sleuthing revealed that it was HL who had ordered the euthanasia . Goldie is now with Rena, perfectly healthy but very thin with long long nails indicating that she had not been cared for possibly from the time she was ‘adopted’ by HL.
We also heard that the organisation, that both HL and M, came from, had problems with its animal rescue unit. Apparently they had ventured into an area which they could not handle and had also lost much money by way of veterinary bills. Our advise to them would be that rescuing, rehoming and treating animals is not an easy task. It takes a lot of effort, time and compassion for one to be involved in it positively.
This advise also goes out to the recently emerging rescuer wannabes who have created more harm than good in their so-called attempts at rescuing and rehoming. Do it only if you are prepared for the long haul. DO NOT do it for a pat on the shoulder or personal glory. DO NOT make these poor dogs, that are in so much of need, tools to overcome your insecurities and sick ego. As for HL, we are not done with you yet.
Your spiritual guru will be told of this and requested to get an explanation from you for the web of lies you had spun. And HL, the next time you chant mantras for Lord Buddha, remember that you are a liar and hypocrite who had ordered the termination of life.
Our heartfelt thanks to Dr Chan - Kah Yein, you are indeed a friend in need - as well as Dr Lim and Dr Pushpa of the SPCA.

POUND PUPPIES



Since we feel very strongly about local council pounds and the dogs placed there, we carry out several pound rescues in a year. Currently we have three adult dogs and three puppies from the Klang pound. Initially there were seven puppies but four did not make it. Here are the three pups that a ready for adoption. If you are interested in giving them a home - please write to malaysiandogsdeservebetter1@gmail.com

Now this.



A lady came all the way from Seri Petaling to meet us at one of our adoption drives and told us about this dog which was kept tied-up behind some houses.
The only shelter the poor dog had was a gap in some broken concrete slabs that made-up the pavement in the backlane. We knew that if we go there and look for the owner, the dog may be dumped elsewhere.
So, we did what we usually do under such circumstances - we dognapped. When our dognapping squad arrived at the scene, the dog was more than happy to allow herself to be dognapped. She never made a sound as our squad members sprung her free and took her back.
One of the squad members made a grissly discovery when he bathed her the following morning. She had open sores near her teats and they were filled with maggots!
We initially thought it was mamarry gland tumour but it was diagnosed as being mere abcess - perhaps due to being cut by the broken concrete.
She has since been treated for the wounds but the vet now says she has some kidney problems. She has been at the vet for about three months now and we need help with her bills. Fortunately, we have found someone who will take her in once her condition stabilizes. Those wanting to help please call 012-2052906 012-2052906012-2052906 or 012-3739007.

Who are these people?

One of the dumped puppies sent. Already sent for spaying and will be ready for adoption in a weeks time.

Dumped puppy 2 - also sent for spaying and will be ready in a week for adoption.

Dumped puppy 3 - also sent for spaying and will also be ready for adoption in a week's time.

Old blind schnauzer being shaved by groomer. Also for adoption by kind and understanding potential owner.


THE last month saw exactly 10 dogs and puppies being tied to our gate by some jerk, who should have contacted us first before dumping the animals. This is because one of the puppies that they had tied to the gate, either late at night or early in the morning, managed to free itself and was knocked down by a vehicle right in front of our half-way home. Imagine our horror in the morning when we saw one dead puppy and two screaming ones (that were tied to the gate). About a week later three puppies were in a box left outside our gate. This was followed by another three dogs tied to the gate - two of them being adults. One of the adults was a half blind old schnauzer with terribly matted hair. The latest was another two older pups last week. We are keen to know who this person is and suspect that he/she may be a hoarder forced to remove his/her dogs out. Whatever it is - have the courtesy lah to at lease let us know. And one of the pups tested positive for distemper and is now being treated for it.

MISS C the CHOW CHOW


THIS Chow Chow was found loitering around the LDP near the Kelana Jaya LRT station. Miss C was rescued by MDDB members Myers Shane and Koo Swee Por. She is in the pink of health and will be returned to owner if they come to claim her. We do hope that she is reunited with her owner. Miss C's human or those recognising her, please contact Koo at ttdidog@gmail.com.


HERNIA BOY a.k.a James Dean


HERNIA BOY a.k.a James Dean came to us about a year ago after he was hit by a car in Kapar. His feeder Irena Tan contacted us and we went and removed Hernia Boy from the streets and admitted him to a veterinary clinic in Klang.
Both his legs were splayed and initially it was thought that he had suffered severe spinal cord injury.
However, the vets found that he had suffered from diagrammatic hernia and needed urgent surgery. Hernia Boy was transferred to another clinic in Subang Jaya where he had his first surgery.
Although he could stand-up and walk after the surgery the vet told us that he would still suffer from complications as the entire tear could not be stitched-up.
He was fine for a while but could not digest food no matter how much he ate - and Hernia Boy was indeed a big eater.
So, we readmitted him again and this time around a larger scale surgery was done on him and Hernia Boy survived the ordeal although he was very thin at that time.
We attribute this to his will to live. He is currently eating well and doing fine.
Hernia Boy is even starting to put on weight and we will give him a few more weeks before pictures are taken again.
Hernia Boy was operated on again and his bill is still outstanding at the clinic even if he has been discharged. We need help with Hernia Boy's veterinary care and hope that you'll come forward to help.
