By Shamimi Popiko Sasha (SPS) from MDDB :

Sometime last month my human friends visited the Setapak doggie pound on two occasions and rescued a good number of doggies and puppies. One of them was Sister Beagle. She was probably scheduled to be put down soon as she was rescued from the cage where dogs were placed when no one comes for them. She had a very bad skin condition as well and received treatment at our vets. One day a nice lady called Som Ye came to the clinic and fell in love with Sister Beagle. She took her home and named her Jojo. Jojo now lives with her new human and another beagle named Kiki. She is leading a happy life and gets to go to interesting places almost every weekend. Jojo's stroke of good luck has made us all veery happy. And its happy endings such as this that makes us continue rescuing, treating and rehoming. 

Woof, Woof,

LESTER, ON THE DAY HE WAS RESCUED BY MDDB

Wednesday, April 28, 2010

Remember the fellow who was scalded by hot oil. Well, we (MDDB) have named him Lester and would like to report that he is recovering from his burns very fast. He looks very happy as well and is wagging his tail as if thanking those who rescued him as well as those taking care of him at the clinic.

He also has a deep cut in the leg which is exposing flesh and bone and the vets are treating that as well. This is why we do not put animals to sleep. They are very resilient and always decide if they want to get better or not.

In Lester's case he had indicated that he wanted to survive his ordeal and move on with life - that's why he had gone looking for his feeder after being injured. we are glad we did not allow ourselves to be pressured into killing him, as suggested by many, at a time when he needed compassion, love and medical care the most.

We have some good news - Lester was adopted today by one Datin Jeniffer Khoo and has finally left the veterinary clinic to go and live in a nice big house in Petaling Jaya. We are happy that we gave him a second chance in life.

LESTER ON HIS WAY TO A BRAND NEW LIFE

 We learnt a bit more about him from the lady who has been feeding Lester for the past five years. Apparently, he was adopted by a family she knows as a puppy but the family dumped him at the market when he was about a year old.

That was five years ago - although the lady had been feeding him the last five years - we do not understand why she had condoned him being turned into a stray. She has forwarded a pix of him as a pup and we can see how much he must have suffered after being dumped.

Because he was lived on the streets for that many years - Lester is anemic and according to the vet has to be on medication for life.

Anyway, we are happy that he now has a good family to take care of him.

Cinderella (Faith)

CINDY IN DEC, 2010 - BADLY WANTING TO BE RESCUED

Sunday, January 31, 2010

Words simply cannot describe our feelings whenever we follow-up on the development of Cinderella renamed Faith who has been adopted by Kalpana. Cinderella was spotted by Dr Chan Kah Yein of Animalcare when she rescued almost 40 dogs from the dastardly Klang Pound. However, she couldn't take Cinderella because the poor girl had a serious facial injury. But Cinderella wanted to to be rescued. We (MDDB) heard about her and decided to take her. Dr Chan immediately went to the pound and got Cinderella out. We warded her at one of our panel vets where she was given treatment. We were told by the vet that her facial injuries were probably acid scalds. However, Cindy had tested negative for parvo, distemper and heartworm. When Cindy went in for spaying, the vet discovered that she had already been spayed. So, we believe Cindy must have been someone’s pet.

 Anyway, one of our friends and supporter Ms Kalpana offered to adopt Cindy and came to collect her today. Initially Cindy was frightened to leave the clinic but after some coaxing, she followed Kalpana into her car. Kalpana took Cindy to her regular vet and was told everything was fine with Cindy. Cindy merely had a slight mite problem and would be going in for her first round of vaccination next week. We are happy things worked out well for Cindy Cinderella. She is one of the luckiest rescues from the pound.

Spunky Snoopy, the Paralysed Dog

PETALING JAYA, MALAYSIA - He might be paralysed from waist down,  but Snoopy still loves going for his daily walks the with the aid of a wheelchair.  And Snoopy's a dog, a six-year-old terrier mix.Snoopy's owner, Marjan Sipsma,  43, who adopted him about two years ago, said he had met with an accident  when he was a puppy, and was brought to a veterinary clinic in Brickfields. He stayed at the clinic for four years, before Sipsma decided to adopt him as  a playmate for her four other dogs Flaky and Dribble, both of Japanese  Spitz mix, Sheba, a German Shepherd and Storm, a Rhodesian Ridgeback.  "The accident left Snoopy with a stiff left hind leg, but he was still  walking," she explained. However, months later, spinal complications  caused him to have more problems and at times "he would fall and wouldn't  be able to walk at all." Nevertheless, Sipsma felt Snoopy deserved to  enjoy a quality dog's life to be able  to walk, run and play and her research led her to finding a squad cart  "wheelchair" for him. "It's not available here. I ordered it online from the United States after  taking Snoopy's measurements. "I also ordered shoes for him as he has a  tendency to  walk on his knuckles and it would scrape and hurt his forelegs," she said. The wheelchair cost her RM1,500 (about S$650) and a pair of shoes set her  back by another RM150 (About S$65), "but each pair lasts about six to eight months."Once, Snoopy even went charging after another dog, while in the wheelchair."One night, my husband and I brought all five dogs out for a walk  and we didn't see a neighbour's dog which was out loose. "It started charging at our dogs, and they charged back. I decided to let go  of Snoopy to better handle the other dogs, since I thought he wasn't  going anywhere," she said. "But guess who went after that dog?  Our little disabled friend here!" she said with a laugh. Sipsma added that  despite being much smaller than Storm, Snoopy would give him a "good nip"  if Storm ever crossed into his "territory", which is the area in front of the  front door."I don't quite know how dogs think, but to Snoopy, I think  he believes he's still alpha male.  "I don't think he knows he's paralysed," she said, chuckling. http://malaysiandogsdeservebetter.blogspot.com/search/label/UPDATE%20-%20PUSPAKOM%20ACCIDENT%20VICTIM  PUSPAKOM ACCIDENT VICTIM Tuesday, March 22, 2011 This puppy was hit by a van near Puspakom. It just lay there because no one bothered nor had pity or compassion in their hearts to help the poor thing. Luckily, three days later it was spotted by someone who immediately rescued it and gave the puppy to us. It was admitted in one of our panel clinics about a week ago and had been unconscious until today - when it regained consciousness and started eating. But the puppy is still lying down and we hope that it is not paralysed. We are hoping for the best and looking for sponsorship for this puppy as it's going to be a long haul. those wanting to sponsor the puppy can either deal directly or go through us - those who want to deal direct with the clinic can write to malaysiandogsdeservebetter1@gmail.com for clinic details. Let's all hope for the best that this puppy will recover soon. Saturday, April 16, 2011 UPDATE - Puspakom Puppy (GOOD NEWS) PUSPAKOM PUPPY - PHOTOS TAKEN YESTERDAY. 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.

Then sometime last week, the 1-year-old pit bull was put in a garbage bag and tossed down a trash chute at the Garden Spires apartment building in Newark. But that probably saved Patrick’s life because a custodian saw the bag move as he was emptying the trash. "His eyelids were moving a little. But he was just lifeless — his body hung there when we picked him up," animal control officer Arthur Skinner said, of the dog’s condition when he was found last Wednesday. Patrick was taken to Garden State Veterinary Specialists in Tinton Falls, where he’s being nursed back to health.  Hospital staff say it’s one of the worst cases of abuse they’ve seen. "He’s the worst I’ve ever seen as far as starvation, skin and bones go," said Katharine Palmer, an emergency critical care specialist at the animal hospital. "The first couple days after he came in he wasn’t able to stand or bear weight he was so weak." Slowly, though, Patrick is recovering. Seven veterinarians and several veterinary technicians have been nursing Patrick around-the-clock, feeding him intravenously and warming him with heated blankets. "The recovery is remarkable," hospital administrator Patricia Smillie-Scavelli said. While many abused dogs can be skittish or aggressive, Patrick is not, Palmer said. "He is so loving in return," she said. Read the full story here - http://www.nj.com/news/index.ssf/2011/03/tinton_falls_animal_hospital_h.html
