Rescuing jobs are never easy. It is indeed very stressful. Besides having to handle the problem from the animals, we are most of the time caught up with problem given by our fellow humans. We do not wish to be credited for the things we have done, but we do hope that people will respect the things we do and not just jump at us and tell us “what we should do” and “what we should not do”.
We have many people writing to us asking sponsorship for spaying and to pay for their rescued animals’ medical bills. When we were once Independent Rescuers, things are pretty much straight forward, as we are answerable for our own rescue work. We spay and rescue based on our own capabilities. But as we are a formed society now, we need to prioritize our work as we are answerable to the public (because that’s where our funds come from) and we are answerable to our teammates, especially when funds are at its shortage most of the time.
The least we could ask for is for the people to understand our restrictions and circumstances. We are normal people, too. We work from 9-5 everyday, earning limited incomes. We could not just rush all around the places jumping into every rescue mission when someone calls. We have sacrifice a lot of our free time doing the best we could for the animals yet there are still people out there who are questionable about the sincerity of our work. Truly disappointed sometimes on human’s nature.
Anyway, though there are people out there who don’t put trust on our work, there are also those who go all the way out to support us. To these people, we could not thank you enough. Just today, I have found a wonderful friend who is truly supportive of our hard work.
While at work this morning, my neighbor called me sounding very panicky and saying one of the dogs he was feeding was caught by the council. He wants me to go directly to the pound to claim back the dog. As I could not just leave as and when I like, I have no choice but to call a friend of mine, Ms. W to ask if she could do me a favor and rush to the pound immediately to look for the dog. It was an all-black female dog with standing ears, which was all I was told.
Ms. W is in fact an angel sent from heaven. With no hesitation, she agrees to go direct to the pound to help me look for the dog. Upon reaching the pound, she called me and claimed that the truck carrying all those strays was not back yet.
To simplify the story, after a few hours of running around, non-stop calling & tears shedding (believe me, the pound is not the place you would want to spend time at on any time of the day as the place smell bloody and depressing) and having the people from the pound giving her some hard time, at last, she managed to claim the dog out.
The moment she came out from the pound, she called me, gave me the piece of good news and drove straight all the way to my office...with the dog sitting happily behind. It was a great relieved for both of us. We shared great warm hugs and tears of joy, in conjunction with the successful rescued. It was indeed a happy reunion for us. We are overjoyed that the rescue mission went successfully.
The dog is now safe and sound, boarding at Life Vet waiting to be spayed. Ms. W graciously sponsored the full medical bill of DYEN.
Why we named her DYEN? – Besides being a combination of mine and Ms. W’s name, it also meant the following:-
DYEN = Do You Ever Notice
- Do You Ever Notice that the problems of strays are caused by humans’ negligence?
- Do You Ever Notice how cruelly strays are being treated?
- Do You Ever Notice how these strays suffer on the streets?
- Do You Ever Notice that these strays too deserve to be loved and cared for?
- Do You Ever Notice that these strays need our help?
- Do You Ever Notice these strays longed for our attention?
If you could take a minute and look right into the eyes of these animals, you will notice how much they needed our help.
Are you willing to “take notice” of them?
Well, DYEN is currently up for adoption and if you are interested to give her a good loving home, please contact us at mddb.mccp@gmail.com.
