ADOPTION DRIVE

TEDDY, STLL LOOKING FOR A HOME


IT’S GOING to be puppies galore at the canine welfare project Malaysian Dogs Deserve Better (MDDB) adoption drive at the Summit shopping complex in Subang Jaya this Sunday.
The event which starts at 11.30am and ends at 7.30pm, at the Summit’s main entrance, will see about 25 puppies being put-up for adoption.
MDDB adoption coordinator Christine Lai said the puppies that would be up for adoption were rescued from Klang, Petaling Jaya and Cheras.
“We have many more, apart from the 25 we will be bringing to Summit, that’s being cared for by our fosterers,’’ said Lai.
She said there would also be several young dogs between nine months to two years that will be put-up for adoption at the drive in Summit.
According to Lai the older dogs have all been neutered, vaccinated and given all the necessary treatment.
MDDB is a canine rescue project initiated by non-governmental organization Community Development and Integration Initiative (CDII).
Meanwhile, CDII director Firoza Burhanudeen said MDDB urgently needed funds for the treatment of several canines including a few accident victims.
“We have a high number dogs undergoing treatment in several veterinary clinics and one of them is accident victim James Dean a.k.a Hernia Boy who recently underwent surgery for diaphragmatic hernia.
“The cost for the surgery is quite high as his organs had to be repositioned in their right place,’’ said Firoza adding that those who wanted to help can visit the MDDB blog at www.malaysiandogsdeservebetter.blogspot.com for details.
James Dean is currently being treated at a veterinary clinic in Petaling Jaya.
MDDB also needs puppy food urgently and these can be dropped off at the adoption drive at Summit. Other items urgently needed include dry and canned dog, cat and kitten food, rice, bleech, washing soap and dog shampoo.

PUSPAKOM PUPPY - GOOD NEWS

PUSPAKOM PUPPY - PHOTO TAKEN YESYERDAY PUSPAKOM PUPPY - PHOTO TAKEN YESTERDAY. PUSPAKOM PUPPY - IN A COMA WHEN FIRST ADMITTED TO THE CLINIC BROWNIE, OUR FIRST BILIND PUPPY RESCUED TWO YEARS AGO
BROWNIE, LEARNT TO WALK ALONG THE WALL
Remember the Puspakom accident victim - well our day ended happy yesterday. The puppy is now fully conscious and can stand. However, due to head injuries the eyesight has been compromised. The vet thinks the puppy is blind or could have acquired poor eyesight. We are confident that this can be overcome as we had successfully rehomed a blind puppy some two years ago. The chap called Brownie is a dandy chap, who knows his way around his home. His human has also indicated her interest to adopt another disabled dog sometime ago. We hope everything will work out well for the Puspakom puppy. We are grateful to our vet who had worked hard that this puppy survived. Thank you Dr, very, very much.

“So, we have taken Xena back and putting her up for adoption,’’ said MDDB adoption coordinator Christine Lai.

According to Lai, Xena is a smart young dog that is both gregarious and loving.

“We hope a family will take Xena in as she is very good with children,’’ said Lai.

FOOLS!

http://thestar.com.my/metro/story.asp?file=/2011/4/14/central/8475437&sec=central
The Subang Jaya Municipal Council does not cease to amaze us. Apart from being one of the biggest abusers of canines in Selangor, the council has also proven over and over again that it is a dog-hating imbecile. The latest crap that has come from this troubled local council is its witch hunt plan of dogs belonging to the eight breeds mentioned in the article. Surely, the council isn't actually thinking that people will allow them to simply remove their pets to be taken away and killed. Pfffft! Don't they have anything better to do other than constantly waging war with dogs. MDDB understands it is the prerogative of the council to activate the ban - okay, say that it is illegal to purchase these breeds from April 14, 2011 - but to actually say that they are going to seize existing pets is criminal. MDDB will fight the council all the way.
Don't forget the fight we gave you in regard to this dog in 2008. MDDB also condemns the Selangor state government for its inability to control its local councils. Please emulate your Penang counterpart that has done quite a bit for canine welfare. Tan Sri Khalid, its time you put your foot down and order these local councils from behaving like barbarians.
And to the Department of Veterinary Services (DVS) that implemented the ban - how did these breeds get into the country in spite of your ban? Di you inform the Customs Department of the ban which was implemented years ago? If it is being bred locally, who allowed breeders to breed these dogs? Given that some of these dogs are MKA certified, how did this gaffe happen?

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.

Those who want to help can check for details at MDDB’s blog at www.malaysiandogsdeservebetter.blogspot.com

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.

For details, call 019-3576477, 012-3739007 or write to malaysiandogsdeservebetter1@gmail.com or the MDDB Facebook page.


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。

誰想要的幫助可以查詢詳情在MDDB的部落格www.malaysiandogsdeservebetter.blogspot.com

善心人士想要作出捐款給該協會(MDDB)及其對應馬來西亞貓貓福利照顧計劃(MCCP)也可以捐狗或貓的食物,舊毛巾,舊報紙和狗和貓洗髮水在會場。

PET CHARITY EVENTS

http://thestar.com.my/metro/story.asp?file=/2011/4/7/central/8419553&sec=central




Cuddly and furry: Guests at the event preview held by Petz PowWow for pet owners.


Pet owners’ charity meet


WANT to help independent pet rescue groups? Two organisations have lined up two separate activities to raise money for them.

The first event called Petz PowWow is organised by Petz Unleashed Sdn Bhd and revolves around creating a fun-filled day for people and their pets.

Scheduled to be held on April 16 and 17 at Mines Square, Mines shopping mall in Seri Kembangan, the event will include the participation of several animal welfare organisations and pet product companies.

Among the groups given a booth at the event is canine welfare project Malaysian Dogs Deserve Better (MDDB) and HOPE.

Petz Unleashed’s Lukman Kusuma said guests can participate in various interesting events such as the Best Dressed Pet Contest, Most Photogenic Pet(s) & Owner Contest and Best Pet & Owner Lookalike Contest.

“Petz Unleashed will be running their own contests such as Owner and Pet Food Eating Contest for which Canadian Pizza will be sponsoring pizzas,” said Lukman.

Pet food company Royal Canin will also launch its breed-specific food range for the Golden Retriever and Rottweiler at the event.

Lukman said the key objective of the Petz PowWow carnival was to provide a fun-filled outing for pet owners and their families.

“There are few avenues in Malaysia where pet owners can spend a day or two with their pets in a fun atmosphere. We are trying to provide such avenues on a regular basis and I am glad that more companies are coming forward to support us,” added Lukman.

Details are at www.petzunleashed.com, shoba@petzunleashed.com or call 012-2863471.

The second event is organised by the country’s leading adoption portal PetFinder.my on April 23 and 24.

The event, which is in conjunction with the portal’s third anniversary, is a charity fair held at Sunway Pyramid’s Orange Wing, LG2 from 12pm-8pm

PetFinder.my’s Andy Koh said the event would be attended by seven leading animal welfare NGOs — SPCA Selangor, PAWS, HOPE, Save A Stray, Malaysian Dogs Deserve Better, Paws Mission and AnimalCare.

“They will be making available an assortment of merchandise and sharing knowledge on responsibly managing pets,” said Koh.

He said that six altruistic merchants would be offering exclusive art and crafts for sale, donating the profits to charity.

In addition to various interesting products on sale, the event will also have exciting stage activities, performances and contests, offering alluring prizes and giveaways.

Taking this charity campaign a step further, PetFinder.my and HeartBeat.my has partnered to kickstart a month-long online donation drive to raise funds for the NGOs, where the latter will donate 50% of sales from PetFinder.my’s animal lovers, so people unable to attend the event can contribute as well.
