About Myself

Animal lover with a particular fondness for dogs - I try to help out with dog rescue and foster stuff when I can. At the moment I have my hands full with 3 dogs of my own (a rescued mutt adopted from petfinder, quite possibly the happiest lab in the world and the sweetest Irish setter) and an ever-changing cast of fosters :)

I also offer boarding services for dogs to raise funds for the food and medical costs of rescues/fosters. Furry guests enjoy a warm and loving home-style stay - no unnecessary caging or restraints. If interested please send me an email through my profile.

Are you looking to welcome a dog into your family and aren't sure what to consider before doing so? Please read the following links.

Do not buy pups from petshops. Adopt or buy from a good breeder:

Hey Mel, is Yuki really adopted this time or Cath has changed her mind and keeping her?

Hi yensmiles,

I do live in the area. I feel awful to disappoint but I really cannot take in another dog at the moment for 2 reasons - 1) The beagle I'm fostering was spayed a couple of days ago so I have to keep an eye on her post-op recovery which will take about 1-2 weeks, but more importantly, 2) My adult mutt that was also a stray near the NZX area until I adopted him is a VERY dominant alpha male that cannot coexist with adult males or dominant females. If I were to take one of the dogs you rescued in, my fear is they will end up injuring each other which defeats the purpose of caring for them.

If you're really out of options email me and I will suggest 2 organisations that do dog rescue, you can try contacting them to see if they can have someone in their network of fosterers available.

Hey MelissaK,

thanks for putting that lost dog infor in the Ara Damansara website.

Does that mean you live in that area too?

If you do (or even if you don't) and even with your hands full with all the pups you're having now, would you still have room for another one?

The "lost" dog we rescued was roaming with 2 other dogs. One is now INJURED with 4 big holes in the body! My friend will take to the vet tomorrow, as we've already captured the black one for neutering tomorrow.

At the moment the house we're using (my neighbour's) is FULL and tenanted out to about 8ppl altogether.. and some dislike pets! We're already pushing the limits by chucking 2 dogs in it!

We're not sure what to do with this other injured dog... and hoping that somebody can at least care for it after treatment till it recovers before letting it lose on the streets/giving for adoption/sending to furry friends farm!

Pls say you'd help, or perhaps connect us to someone who can?
