Back in the month of May 2011, we have successfully removed Mimi and another 2 young puppies from the hill-slope heading towards Batu Ferringhi, Penang. They were seen loitering and playing by the side of the road risking being run over by cars. There aren't any shelter nearby to keep them off the rain and sun.

You may read the rescue story of Mimi and the 2 young puppies here.

Mimi was taken for spaying after she was rescued while the 2 younger puppies who were then suffering from skin problem were taken in by MDDB & MCCP Northern's rescuers under foster care. 

After Mimi was spayed and discharged from the veterinary clinic, she was sent to a local shelter pending adoption.

2 weeks later, we paid a visit to Mimi at the shelter. She has put on some weight and was seen to be very active, running like a lightning. Although she still seems a little nervous mixing with other dogs but she gets along well with the workers at the shelter. In fact, she likes to keep the workers accompany while they work.


We hope that Mimi will get her equal chance to be adopted to a good family one day soon. But at the mean time, we shall continue to visit her at the shelter as often as we can so that she won't feel abandoned/neglected.

If you wish to give Mimi a good home and shower her with some care and love, please write to us at mddb.mccp@gmail.com.

This puppy was previously rescued from the hill-slope heading towards Batu Ferringhi, Penang back in May 2011 with skin problem (you may read the story here). She has now make a full recovery and is ready for adoption. Please help her find a good home~~~

Kuda was previously rescued from the streets after he was seriously wounded from a dog fight with a gang of strays. He suffered further injuries when he escaped from his rescuers' home by jumping off from a 2nd floor building and went missing for 2 days. When at last, his rescuers managed to locate him, he was in the worst of shape.

Vet's advice was to put Kuda to sleep and end all sufferings as it would be a long and tough journey to the road of recovery. And believe it or not, on the very next day when the rescuers were supposedly to  inform the vet on their decision, Kuda chose to decide his own destiny. Having been down for the last couple of days with no appetite for food, Kuda has chosen this moment to wag his tail upon seeing his rescuers and finished off all food presented to him right in front of his rescuers. Is this a sign sent by Kuda indicating he wants to fight on? We take it as a YES! And we are willing to fight with him with no regrets.

Kuda was making progress but the improvements were just way too slow. We decided to discharge Kuda from the clinic and let him recuperate in a home environment, while we look for other options/advice in hope to fasten the pace of Kuda's healing. It was at this moment that we had an encounter with Dr. Joshua from HOPE Vet. He recommended that Kuda be sent down to Gasing Veterinary Hospital in Selangor to undergo skin grafting. The process will speed up Kuda's recovery tremendously.

Without wasting more time, we make arrangement to have Kuda sent down to Gasing Veterinary Hospital which is a 4 hours drive from our State. Fen Ying and Chuah took charged to transport Kuda down to Selangor.

On 22nd June 2011, Kuda made his way to Gasing Veterinary Hospital, Selangor. Kuda's case was assigned to Dr. Prem. After a thorough checking, we were given 3 options:-

1. Let Kuda heal on its own and bring him to the vet daily to cleanse the wounds which will probably take a very long time.
2. Stitch up the wounds (this is only applicable on certain smaller wounds which the new skins are visibly growing out)

3. Skin grafting (most advisable by the vet)



We have opted option 2 for the smaller wounds and option 3 for the huge wound as per advised by Dr. Prem. Total cost estimated for the whole procedures inclusive of boarding of half-a-year is RM6,000.00.

Kuda was on the list for surgery on the same weekend he was admitted. Since he has a large skin deficit over his left fore part of the body, the vet will be doing advancement flaps to bring the edges of his wounds closer together. It will take a long time to heal but things are looking good. He is after all, a champion dog.

Fan Kt, a member of Malaysian Dogs Deserve Better (MDDB) has been visiting Kuda regularly and updating us with Kuda's most current progress. We could not thank her enough for the good deed she had done to help us.

We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to:-

1. ALL DONORS who had donated to Kuda's Medical Fund 

2. WELL WISHERS who had non-stop been sending their prayers to Kuda, praying for his speedy recovery everyday. 

3. DR. JOSHUA from HOPE VET who had travel all the way from Penang Island to Butterworth to examine Kuda.

4. RENEE SNYDER, a U.S journalist of Examiner in helping us to highlight about Kuda's case Internationally.
