 BEYONCE the one-eyed dog was caught by the local council dog catchers several months ago and sent to a shelter pending euthanasia.

A rescuer who volunteers at the shelter spotted Beyonce and felt really sad to see the dog so emaciated, frightened and injured.

The dog’s left eye was badly punctured and severely infected.

Canine rescue project Malaysian Dogs Deserve Better (MDDB) heard about Beyonce and immediately requested the rescuer to remove the dog from the shelter.

Under MDDB’s care Beyonce was treated and her infected eye was removed only after almost a month due to her weak physical condition.

“The veterinarian could not operate on her immediately because she was so weak,’’ recalled MDDB adoption coordinator Christine Lai.

Several months later, Beyonce has now metamorphosed into a loving dog who loves to go for walks.

“It’s a remarkable transformation. When we first received Beyonce, she was so afraid to even leave her cage and now she can’t wait to get out and go for a walk,’’ said Lai.

Lai said Beyonce’s calm and loving nature would make her a perfect pet for the elderly.

Beyonce will be among the many dogs that will be put up for adoption at the MDDB adoption drive at Jaya One shopping complex in Section 13, Petaling Jaya this Sunday.

The adoption drive which is from 11.00am to 6.00pm will be held at at Block NB1, facing Station 1 and Old Town White Coffee.

Besides Beyonce, MDDB will also be putting-up about 20 two-month old puppies for adoption at the drive.

“We have to urgently find homes for these puppies and if you are on the lookout for a pet, please come and adopt from us,’’ said Lai.

 Those wanting to donate to MDDB can also drop their contributions off at the adoption drive.
MDDB needs dry and canned dog and puppy food, dry and canned cat and kitten food, old newspapers, dog and cat shampoo, old towels, rice, cages, detergent and bleach.
Also on sale will be MDDB merchandise such as T-shirts, umbrellas and other knick knacks.

RESCUED PUPPY IN URGENT NEED OF HELP.

 THIS morning we found this puppy by the raodside in a housing estate in Klang. he had injuries all over his body and a gaping wound under his neck. We rushed him to our panel vet and were told that the gaping wound was a raptured abcess. The puppy has also tested positive for distemper and is currently being treated at our quarantine center. We are trying our best to ensure that the poor pup survives by giving him the best of treatment and will have to take him in for dressing at the veterinary clinic every morning. Please help us help this unfortunate puppy. Details please email malaysiandogsdeservebetter1@gmail.com

ROCKY'S TALE.

THIS is Rocky and he was an accident victim. Rocky was someone's pet but his owners allowed him to roam around in the neighbourhood in Seri Kembangan. One day a car knocked him down and ran over one of his back hind legs which became beyond repair. The owner then wrapped-up the injured leg and left Rocky outside the gate. A neighbour who could not bear to see the puppy's suffering called a shelter which immediately went over to get Rocky. Rocky was happy to see the shelter's inspectorate and showed his gratitude when they carried him and placed him into their van. Given the seriousness of his injury, Rocky was destined for euthanasia and realising this, they called MDDB and asked if we were willing to take over. We immediately aggreed and Rocky was delivered to our panel clinic where his damaged limb was amputated. He has since been adopted and Rocky is a happy dog who appears not to be bothered by his past experience. We still owe the vet some money for Rocky's treatment and hope that you will be able to help us. According to the clinic's accounts we still owe them about RM800 for Rocky's treatment. Those wanting to pay directly to the clinic can also do so by writing a cheque made payable to Healing Rooms Veterinary Clinic Sdn Bhd.

2) 3 units of 15'' industrial wall fans - TOYO RM185 per unit
 

3) 3 units of 16" wall fans - KDK RM180 per unit

IT’S a never ending story for canine welfare project Malaysian Dogs Deserve Better (MDDB) given the number of stray puppies and dogs that come their way almost everyday.

MDDB rescue coordinator Irene Low said the group rescues at least two to three dogs a week that are in need of serious veterinary care.

“This is on top of the dogs and puppies in need of homes that we take in almost daily,’’ she added.

Sad state: A puppy rescued by MDDB that is in urgent need of a home.

She said MDDB currently had countless puppies and dogs that were in need of good homes.

The puppies and dogs will be put up for adoption at Jaya One shopping complex, Section 13, Petaling Jaya, this Sunday.

The event will be held from 11am to 6pm at Block NB1, which faces Station 1 and Old Town White Coffee.

According to Low, sometimes the puppies rescued come infected with canine parvovirus or distemper and they need a lot of care.

“When they come infected, we either ward them in a veterinary clinic or isolate them somewhere and pump them with medicines and highly nutritious food,’’ said Low.

She said recently a young Muslim woman had alerted a shelter when three puppies had walked into her home compound in Gombak.

However, upon learning the puppies may be euthanised due to space constraints, the woman immediately went to the shelter and removed the puppies and called MDDB, said Low.

“We took the puppies in and found that they were infected with parvovirus and we reckon the infection must have been triggered off with the stress of being moved around,’’ she said.

The puppies are currently being warded in a non-panel clinic and MDDB is worried about the cost of the veterinary care.

“They will have to be there for quite a while and we are hoping we will be able to raise the funds to pay the clinic,’’ said Low.

Low said MDDB hoped the public would come forward to help the puppies.

“They can pay directly to the clinic as well and can get the details from us at the adoption drive,’’ she said.

Low said those who would like to donate in kind to MDDB could also drop off the items at the event.

“We urgently need rice as we are running out of it due to the high number of dogs under our care currently,’’ she said.
