October Rescues

 


Running a rescue group that carries out consistent rescue of puppies and their mothers is not an easy task. In addition to the countless puppies and mothers picked-up almost on a daily basis, there are also the seriously injured dogs that come our way. MDDBs main problem is space to hold all our rescues until we find them suitable homes.

There are queries as to why we do not have a shelter the answer is simple having a shelter would be contradictory to the Trap-Neuter-Release-Manage philosophy. It would also not allow us to provide subsidies to others including paying for the neutering of strays which we are currently doing. This is because a bulk of our expenses would revolve around running the shelter.

What we urgently need is help from you to foster these rescues until they are sorted out a space in your backyard is all we are asking for. MDDB is willing to provide cages as well as dog and puppy food. Please help us help them by offering a tiny corner of your living space. Those living in condos and apartments can also help by fostering young puppies for a short period of time. And of course financial contribution is always welcome. To date we have three admissions in AMC, two in Gasing Veterinary Hospital, one in Healing Rooms, one in Ara Veterinary Clinic and five in Thomas Animal Clinic. We seriously need help. If you can help either way please private message us.

John

A post showing a badly injured dog was circulated on the internet. It was also shared on MDDB’s Facebook page by one of our followers. The dog, of which we’ve named “John”, was rescued and was taken to the Animal Medical Center (AMC) for admission. We were told by the vet on duty that John appears to have a broken back and could be lame. Apparently, John had been brutally beaten up and will need some intensive treatment.

Rufus and Rupert

Rufus and Rupert were spotted in Taman Sri Sinar, Segambut by a good Samaritan. They were crawling around a five foot way and appeared to have severe difficulty moving around. We admitted them at AMC, and it was found that they were both stunted. It was suspected that they were placed in a small cage as puppies and the cage was never upgraded in size. Hence, there was literally no space for them to grow. They have since been treated, and both Rufus and Rupert are able to walk now. They have also been adopted from our recent adoption drive in Jaya One.

Puppies with Dead Mother Dog

On October 11, 2013, we received an S.O.S. from Km Au regarding a litter of puppies that needed urgent rescuing at Jalan Kemajuan Subang. Unfortunately, the mother dog was hit by a car and did not make it. The informant explained that he had noticed the mother dog for quite some time, and had been wondering why she steadfastly sat by the road shoulder without crossing the road. We now know that she had given birth in the bushes and could not move the puppies to the other side. The puppies were rescued, and have all been adopted except for two that were wounded.


More details about the wounded puppies here:

In Loving Memory

Not all stories have happy endings… The dog was rescued in Petaling Jaya on the 17th of October, 2013 and was later admitted at Gasing Veterinary Hospital. The vet explained that the dog was probably suffering a brain injury. He also opined that she was an accident victim and must have been dragged underneath the vehicle. Sadly, the dog passed away on the 22nd of October, 2013 – one day after an X-ray examination.

Dog Stuck on Platform

This case was highlighted by MDDB in early October. The dog was left to starve in a “Kelong” at Kuala Sangga, Taiping, Perak. The dog had no way of getting back to shore as the platform was surrounded by water. With the help of a boatman, our rescuers managed to loop and muzzle the dog which was showing signs of fear aggression. The dog is currently being treated by a vet in Ipoh.

Cheng

Feeders in Ipoh, Perak alerted MDDB when they discovered Cheng lying on the same spot for days. They suspected that Cheng was beaten up by foreign workers. One of our rescuers and her sister went to his aid, and were shocked to see Cheng literally lying on broken glasses. A pet transporter was later hired to transport Cheng from Ipoh to one of our panel vets here in Selangor. Cheng has a fractured leg and a compressed spine, and needs a lot of treatment and some time to be back on his feet again. He appears to have some Sharpei cross in him, hence the name “Cheng”.

Pudding

Pudding is yet another one of our October rescues and is now at the vet. The tear on the front limb was very bad as the tendons were exposed. He will be ready for discharge soon. Thus, we are urgently looking for a foster home where he will be cared for pending adoption. If you can help, please write to us at malaysiandogsdeservebetter1@gmail.com or send us a private message via Facebook.

Lola

Together with her puppies, Lola was trapped in a drain in Klang. The rescuer brought the entire family out, but all six newly born puppies died the following evening. Lola is also believed to be suffering from tick fever. She is being fostered, but broke out of the cage – the fosterer will get her restrained again. We will be treating her for tick fever first and may admit her to a clinic if she continues to be difficult to be kept within a confined area.

Dog with Nasty Maggot Wound

This is a young dog currently receiving treatment under us. The dog has a nasty maggot wound which has burrowed inside. Luckily, the poor fellow has a place to stay and we are spared of having to pay for admission.
