URGENT - Dog Needs Help!

This is a sketch of how the dog I saw this morning look like with the cone stuck to his mouth at HILLTOP Villas, Batu Ferringhi. Went there again in the evening after work but it was too dark to properly scout through the area. 

I, on behalf of SOS am appealing to the public to help search for this dog as without removing the cone, it is impossible for him to eat/drink. I have also asked the construction workers nearby to keep a look out but they too said no such dog was sighted just yet.

Anyone who saw and knows the whereabouts of this dog, please contact me at 016-4021781 (Ellen).

3 Male Puppies From Construction Site Required Adopters/Fosterers

This is one of the male puppies that Ah Keat, the construction worker from one of the construction sites at Batu Ferringhi told me about this morning.

We hope adopter(s) can come forward to adopt these puppies. Even if you can help to foster these puppies, that would be good enough. They are pure black in color.

Poppy Needs A Home

[Appeal from Mr. Tan]
Dear Sir:

My relative, Mr Loh Kim Teik used to live alone with a dog of mixed breed (mongrel) in a house in Sg Ara. The mongrel was stray dog he saved from starvation. Unfortunately Mr Loh who now 82 years old is too ill to stay alone in the Sg Ara house. Mr Loh is no longer staying in the Sg Ara house. Since no relative is able to adopt the dog, the dog is let free in the compound without any care except the dog is fed by the same caterer who brought food to the house, at a price. Without care, the dog has become smelly and contracted skin disease. It would not be possible to get someone to adopt the dog as the dog is old, sick and not good looking. Soon the house will be rented out, we need to find a home for the dog or put the dog top sleep. 

Please help to give Poppy a home. With some TLC, Poppy will sure blossom into a charming chap soon. For adoption, please contact Mr. Tan at 012-4942626 or email to tansiangyou@gmail.com / saveourstrays2012@gmail.com

Sayang & Milo For Adoption

[Appeal from Hani Nurhanizah]

We've been fostering these 2 female dogs since 2 weeks ago. They were seen wandering around the neighborhood & the neighbors are threatening them & wanted to lodge a report to MPSP so that these 2 dogs will be killed. The one named Sayang has 3 pups (all adopted).

We thought we could foster them a little longer but terrible things happened. Somebody threw a plastic of human poops & a plastic of f

ood + acid into our compound where the dogs stay. We suspected this was done by our neighbors.

Plus, religious officers came to our house thrice due to the reports made by the neighbors. We are very worry about their safety & we urgently need adopters to adopt them. Please help us to save these innocent creatures!

Animal Welfare Group To Subsidize Spaying Fee

Tuesday October 2, 2012

SAVE Our Strays (SOS) Penang has launched its ‘Spaying Programme’ to help reduce the population of stray animals and discourage the practice of euthanasia.

Under the programme, the organisation will partly subsidise the spaying of strays, up to RM130 for dogs and RM100 for cats.

Currently, the emphasis is on females, but males may be accepted for neutering on a case-by-case basis.

SOS spokesman April Sham said the subsidy only applies if the rescuer agrees to have the animal marked on the left ear, and wear a collar and tag displaying the person’s name and contact details.

All claims will need to be submitted along with a photo of the animal after spaying as well as an original receipt from the veterinary clinic.

“We encourage independent rescuers and feeders to come forward and work along with us to ensure the success of this programme,” Sham said at a recent press conference.

She also appealed to well-wishers for contributions in order to sustain the programme for the long term, adding that it would only run as long as funds were still available.

The SOS is a combined initiative by five NGOs — Malaysian Dogs Deserve Better (Northern Region), Malaysia Independent Animal Rescuers, SPCA Sungai Petani, 4Paws and the Penang Humane Society.

They group works tirelessly and selflessly for the benefit of strays, helping to spot, rescue, spay or neuter and feed its unfortunate furry friends.

Sham said most of the members are senior citizens with relatively low-income, but have big hearts, as they go to great lengths to ensure that the welfare of these animals are taken care of.

“They eat, spend, shop and buy less for themselves so they can help these animals using their own pocket money.

“It doesn’t take much to make a difference, as you could feed a dog a day for just RM1,” she explained.

For more information about the programme or to donate to the worthy cause, contact Sham at 012-4708308 or email to saveourstrays2012@gmail.com.

Bid To Save Stray Cats And Dogs With Auction

01 October 2012 | last updated at 08:52PM

GEORGE TOWN: MODELS and rescued dogs took to the stage at the Boom Boom Chambre  night club here recently to raise funds for an island-wide animal-spaying project.

The event saw models parading rescued dogs for adoption on stage, triggering an intense bidding to take home the cute little mongrels.

Local fashion designer extraordinaire Ranndy Goh also sponsored 10 outfits which was auctioned off to raise money for the project.

In all, over RM7,500 was raised from those who bided for the animals and the clothes.

It was part of the Save Our Strays (SOS) initiative to educate the public on managing stray cats and dogs rather than putting them to sleep.

SOS spokesman April Sham said there was a dire need for youth to help it rescue stray dogs and spay them.

"We urge the council to stop putting these animals to sleep, but instead spay the female dogs or cats," she said.

SOS combines the efforts of five animal rights activist groups, namely the Malaysian Dogs Deserve Better (Northern Region), Malaysia Independent Animal Rescuers (MIAR), Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) Sungai Petani, Penang Animal Welfare Society (4Paws) and Penang Humane Society (PHS).

Snap A Good Shot

Saturday September 29, 2012

CAPTURE monochromatic and poignant snapshots of stray dogs or cats anywhere, and stand a chance to win some prizes as well as having your photographs featured in a public exhibition.

Save Our Strays (SOS) Penang’s ‘Life of a Stray in Black & White’ photo shooting competition is currently calling for entries. It is open to everyone.

SOS spokesman April Sham said entries can be sent to saveourstrays2012@gmail.com or SOS’s Facebook page before Oct 25.

Each contestant is allowed only one entry, and photos must have a minimum resolution of 300DPI or file size above 1MB.

Winners will be selected based on marks awarded by a panel of judges (60%) as well as the amount of ‘likes’ amassed on Facebook (40%). There will be prizes for the top three, as well as most popular submission.

She said the contest is aimed at highlighting the plight of strays and hopefully spark a change in public mindsets and empathy towards them.

“When people go around our streets to take pictures of these strays, they will have a better appreciation of the travails these animals face in their daily struggle for existence.

“Nobody knows if there is a tomorrow for them because there’s no guarantee they’ll survive for another day. Their lives are always at risk and they are constantly on the run from people who discriminate against them.

“Each day, they long for a full meal and not having to sleep in the cold with an empty stomach. How they long for a cosy bed where they can snuggle in and take a good rest.

“As humans, we can make a difference in their lives. The Earth belongs to all living things, and strays also have a right to live,” Sham told a recent press conference.

In addition to the winners, between 30 and 50 photos will also be selected for a two-week public exhibition at the Unique Penang Art Gallery in Love Lane, from Nov 11 to 25.

Taking Bite Out Of Stray Problem

17 September 2012 | last updated at 12:20AM

ANIMAL lovers were delighted when the National Institute of Public Administration (Intan) announced that Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak would meet animal rescue groups in a first-of-its-kind session this month.

This is timely as many cases of animal abuse and ill treatment by local council workers have surfaced.

Penang's relationship with strays has not been cordial.

In May last year, Penang Island Municipal Council (MPPP) workers culled stray dogs using guns. Some were shot in the middle of the street, shocking and infuriating the people. MPPP was criticised for being callous and inhumane.

This forced the council to resort to a more humane way of catching dogs by using tranquillisers, after getting the green light from Bukit Aman federal police headquarters.

In April, a special team of five was formed to handle the tranquilliser guns.

A hostel caretaker in Jelutong recently complained that she saw a truckload of council officials entering a private hostel and "snatching" eight two-month-old stray puppies a few months ago.

The woman, in her 40s, said she cried when she saw the officials chase the puppies around the garden and stomp on them before shoving them into a gunny sack.

"I will never forget the babies (puppies) wailing, probably in pain.

"They said they had received complaints from residents that the dogs were making a lot of noise and were taking them away."

Who could forget the dog-catching competition in 2007, organised by the Selayang Municipal Council in Selangor? They offered over RM39,000 in prize money to residents who caught the most dogs over a period of six months.

Save our Strays (SOS), a coalition of seven animal rights groups in Penang, are campaigning for the spaying of female dogs and cats.

They presented a slide show to MPPP on July 19 to propose a neuter-and-release programme. They were promised a favourable reply from the council "soon", but nothing has happened so far.

A follow-up letter by SOS coordinator April Sham was sent on Aug 24 to state Local Government and Traffic Management Committee chairman Chow Kon Yeow and another to Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng.

The tireless animal rescuer only received an acknowledgement receipt from the Chief Minister's Office.

Sham had suggested, through the coalition, that the council should channel funds used for putting down dogs towards a spaying programme instead.

She said, this way, there would be less of a burden on animal shelters on the island. She also stressed that the council should educate the public about the need to spay their pets.

"Our request is not too much -- catch strays and spay them with the money allocated to put them to sleep."

Now, it is left to be seen how these two state leaders will react.

Through scientific research, years of failed attempts and evidence from animal control personnel in many countries, international animal rights group Humane Society International (HSI) has concluded that the "catch and kill" method is not an effective way to keep the stray dog population under control.

It also found that having animal shelters or pounds are not effective if there was no regulations or methods to control the dog population, as more and more animals would start pouring in from the streets.

The results were approved by the World Health Organisation and World Organisation of Animal Health.

HSI is certain that spaying, proper regulations on animals, registration of dogs, animal control and humane euthanasia (putting to sleep), performed by qualified officials, are more effective in keeping the stray population under control.

It is learnt that HSI has sent a letter to the MPPP's Urban Services, Public Health and Licensing Unit director Dr Judy Shoba and offered to help them out with the programme.

Let's hope they act soon before the situation gets worse.

Hello ~ I am a dog lover from JB. I'm travel 

to Penang on last week and when i reach to the Kek Lok Si Temple on September 6, I saw a stray dog wandering there. When I look it closer i was get shock that it has a very serious wound! It is a very deep rotten hole at the top of it head, deep even can see the bone! I was speechless and do not know how to do during that time. Two days later when i passed by the foods stall at Jln Air Itam which is located at Kek Lok Si Temple, I saw it wandering at there again! It looks has very tenacious vitality! I hope that you can send someone to save it as soon as possible! Besides, I already email to SPCA Penang. Thanks~

Help Needed For Strays At Noordin Street Ghaut

[Appeal from Ron Lim]
Geraldine spotted 2 dogs and 2 puppies at Noordin Street Ghaut opposite a big warehouse. 
They have skin blemishes and appear neglected, starved and puppies are fearful of human. 
Geraldine is appealing to dog lovers n

earby or passers-by to help feed these puppies & dogs and hope that they're rescued, spayed, fostered or adopted as they risk getting killed by vehicles.
For further details/photos pls whatsap/sms Geraldine at 012 4747800. 


2 dogs and 2 puppies spotted at Noordin Street Ghaut opposite a big warehouse. Anyone can help to bring the female for spaying? Any volunteers to adopt/foster the puppies?

Again, we would like to stress on the importance of SPAY & NEUTER. No other method is more effective than ending the re-production cycle of the strays. 

Dog Lovers: Spay, Not Slay

Monday September 10, 2012

MAN’S best friend took centre stage at a night club in Penang when models with cute stray puppies in tow paraded on stage during the ‘Save Our Strays’ (SOS) charity project to save stray dogs.

The event held at the Boom Boom Chambre in Upper Penang Road saw the attendance of animal lovers and party-goers, who came to adopt cute stray puppies and at the same time, raise funds to spay strays.

The event was aimed at educating the public on the importance of spaying strays and discouraging the practice of putting such animals to sleep.

Five NGOs namely Malaysian Dogs Deserve Better (Northern Region), Malaysia Independent Animal Rescuers, Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Sungai Petani, Penang Animal Welfare Society (4PAWS) and Penang Humane Society came together to initiate the SOS project to highlight the importance of spaying strays.

The event on Friday also saw models wearing sponsored outfits by Malaysian fashion designer Ranndy Goh.

They took to the stage in the Fashion Auction Charity Evening slot.

The fashion auction was part of the SOS project, organised by event organiser Joel Wong, who is the owner of Talons Production, an event management company.

Goh’s outfits were priced between RM150 and RM400 and were to be auctioned off whereby all proceeds would benefit the SOS project.

About RM8,000 was raised through public donations and the auction of six outfits within four hours. Also present was former Miss Malaysia Trincy Low.

SOS spokesman April Sham said: “Most of the independent stray rescuers are senior citizens.”

“Though they don’t have much money, their love for strays is real. They use their pocket money, eat less and spend less just to feed these animals.”

She said: “They (the rescuers) are always worried that the local councils will catch the strays.”

“Thus, they are ever willing to rescue and care for sick and injured strays because they know these animals are defenceless.”

Sham said the funds raised would go to 4PAWS for spaying purposes.

She added that those puppies up for adoption were from the five NGOs.

Those who want to adopt stray puppies can call her at 012-4708308.
