Neutering Our Dogs 29th Jan 2012, by Second Chance
With more than 150 dogs at our cramped shelter, it is vital to have them neutered and spayed once they reach the age of six months so that their numbers can be controlled. Spaying/neutering is not cruel but does good to the dogs. On a weekly basis, we send dogs to the vet for spaying/neutering. Here are some pictures of our dogs at Dr Tan at Citivet Animal Clinic. She is one of our panel vets.Those neutered this time are : 1. Yoyo (female 8 mth old) and William (male 1 and half year old) at Dr...

Swee Ling Has Been Adopted! 29th Jan 2012, by Second Chance
Swee Ling has been adopted by Mr Chin from Semenyih. He loves dogs all his life since young. His previous dog has passed on due to old age. Thus, he adopted Swee Ying to fill the void. We are thankful to Mr Chin for adopting one of our pups although he may have a young baby but does not mind the extra workload as a dog owner.

Ah Wah, Our Ground Worker 29th Jan 2012, by Second Chance
Ah Wah is in charge of the ground work mainly at the puppy section of the shelter. He cleans, feeds and manage the dogs at that section on a daily basis. He is not an ordinary worker. He has the charms to handle fierce and aggressive dogs that other are not able to handle. No one can go near Blackie 2 feet but Ah Wah not only could touch him but also could bath him! The male dogs also listen to him a lot, see how Victor responded to his command of "Jump Up"!

JIP WANTS TO GO HOME... Poor Jip... she's recently been returned to the shelter. She was adopted in March 2011 to an Australian couple who'd made their home in Phuket. Jip spent 8 months with them before being returned in November. Due to unforseen circumstances her family had to return to Australa & due to the strict quarantine laws in Australia, sadly this prevented them taking Jip with them.
Jip spent a couple of years at the shelter before her adoption last year & now she's back in her old ...

Bandie, the Banded Malayan Coral snake stole all the evening's glory at someone's place with his charm. Found inside the garden pond, he was caught by our caller who wanted to just release him back!

The Big Heat Wave 28th Jan 2012, by Dr Rayya's Online Veterinary Journal
I have had a rather steady two weeks at work. However, my weekends have been rather interesting. Last weekend I threw Alana (my colleague at work) an 80’s dress up farewell party. She is off to the UK in February and I will miss her heaps.
We have a great vet working relationship and have also become close friends.
She plans to torture me with her travel adventures and I hope to exploit her for free accommodation if I decide on a UK holiday trip. The 80’s theme party was in...

Sunshine’s Updates 28th Jan 2012, by AnimalCare
Based on the vet’s advice when we brought Sunshine to him yesterday, there is no need to test Sunshine for heartworms (because she is still young, estimated to be below 1 year old) to start her on Heartgard.
We offered the choice of using Revolution, Advocate or Heartgard and Lydia decided just Heartgard would do since Sunshine is not in an environment which has ticks.
We’ve sponsored her Heartgard for 6 months at RM60 per pack.
The vet said to test her for heartworms after 7 months ...
