2 More Puppies Caught



Update as at 6 October 2011:
We managed to trap another 2 male puppies from Ganesha Temple yesterday afternoon.

We have in total removed 4 puppies and 1 male adult dog.

We are appealing to the public to come forward to help us adopt these dogs/puppies OR fund us to help these animals. We are collecting funds to spay/neuter them.

If you can help us in anyway, please contact us at mddb.mccp@gmail.com.
Note: There are still around 5-6 adult dogs at the temple. If anyone could give a hand in the catching & trapping, please contact us. 

S.O.S: Fundraising For The Furry Kids At Ganesha Temple


As per our previous posting here, we have been working hard from the day onwards to remove the puppies and dogs from the temple but unfortunately, they are not as friendly as what the person who has reported the case said to be. We have a hard time trapping and catching them and most of the time, we went back empty handed.  

Our volunteers have tried contacting the person who reported the case to come help us since she has referred the dogs as friendly, perhaps she can get closed to the dogs and make the catching easier but no reply from her thus far to help.


This is Tiger. He is around 4 months of age and will be neuter before given out for adoption. Anyone interested to give him a good home may email us at mddb.mccp@gmail.com

This female puppy is named "Thum Chiak" as she is always the first to rush for food during feeding time. She is 4 months old and will be spayed before given out for adoption. If you are interested to give her a good home, please contact us at mddb.mccp@gmail.com

We have a volunteer who goes everyday to the temple to feed the dogs and tried to build trust with them, but with time running out, we just have to get them out soonest possible. The temple committees had threatened to call the council to come shoot them all should we not removed the strays away. We have so far managed to trap 2 puppies, 1 adult dog (with a wounded back) and also taken 1 adult dog belonging to someone there who roams around the temple for neutering with the help of some volunteers.



This is Tapir. He was found with a huge wound on his back filled with maggots. Currently undergoing treatment and he will be neutered at the same time as well. Anyone who is willing to give him a good home may email us at mddb.mccp@gmail.com


Karupa belongs to someone and he is often found roaming freely around the temple's ground. He has been taken for neutering under MDDB's sponsorship after which he will be returned back to his owner.

We shall tried to remove as many as we can and we are currently raising fund for the medical and sterilization fees for those that has been rescued. Anyone who is willing to contribute towards the Ganesha Temple's Furry Kids may do at Donations.

Once you have make a donation, please email us at mddb.mccp@gmail.com stating funds donated is for "Ganesha Temple's Furry Kids".

Updates On Janice's Rescued Pup


Remember the puppy with ticks fever that Janice has rescued near to her workplace? Well, he is currently under foster care until he is completely heal which probably will take another couple of weeks.

The lil' puppy is a real survivor. He was at his weakest point on the day he was rescued. Even the vet was not sure he will pull through...BUT he really did! He survived and fight through the ordeal.



MDDB & MCCP Northern has collected a total of RM280.00 from donors for the welfare of this puppy and we are glad to present the sum to Janice during the adoption drive.

We hope that the puppy will find a forever sweet home after he recovers from his illness.

On The Road of Recovery

The puppy rescued by Janice is getting better and can be taken off the IV Drip today. He will also be ready to discharge by this evening. The puppy has even started asking for food! 
Janice now needs help for someone to foster the puppy for 3 weeks to a month till he is fully recover. Any fosterer and better still an adopter available?

Stray Puppy Need Urgent HELP!

Janice has wrote-in to us this morning about a puppy she has recently rescued which is down with ticks fever. The puppy made it through last night but he still seems weak and lack of appetite. However, his fever has drop from 39.5 to 38 which is a positive sign.

At this stage, the medical bill for the puppy is costing a BOMB and we are helping Janice to raise fund to pay the medical cost incurred. If you wish to contribute your share, please do so by donating to the following account:

Updates On Mimi

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.

Kuda's Journey Of Recovery



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.

Update (28.6.11) by Fan Kt:
"Visited Kuda today. He finishes all the rice, chicken breast, liver and carrot at one go. Must have missed soft food. Dr Prem has joined some part of the skin near his side of the neck, so less exposed area. Bed sore has dried up more." 
Update (30.6.11) by Fan Kt:
"YeaH! I took Kuda's pix with Doc's permission. He is more ac...tive today, probably not so painful anymore. He looks like he is wearing a jumper. I gave him an old cushion for him to lie on. Today he knows how to whine and wags his tail. So much progress in just 2 days."





Stay tune to us on more updates on Kuda.

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.

5. FAN KT for visiting Kuda frequently and bringing him delicious home cooked food so that Kuda won't be home sick and constantly keeping us update with Kuda's progress.

A Case In Sungai Petani Reported By Devi Raj

It was earlier reported to us by Devi Raj from Sungai Petani, Kedah that one of her neighbors had intentionally chained their dog on a very short leash causing difficulty for the dog to lie down or even move around.



Our rescuers went ahead for a house visit tonight and managed to locate the house and convinced the owner to leash the dog on a longer chain instead. The owner agreed and MDDB & MCCP Northern is happy to present the owner with the leash.


We requested for the owner to secure the new leash onto the dog immediately in exchange of the short one and the owner gladly obliged.




Updates On Kuda

As per scheduled, Kuda is due to be sent down to Gasing Veterinary Hospital (located at Selangor) today for further treatment and surgery. Our rescuers, Chuah and Fen Ying departed for the journey early this morning.

Some photos and a video taken of Kuda courtesy of Fen Ying during the 3.5 hours journey:-










Kuda had car sick during the long journey and threw up inside the car. After that, he felt tired and just dozed off throughout the journey.

It was nearly noon time when Kuda and our teamates reached Gasing Veterinary Hospital.   

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 adviced by Dr. Prem. Total cost estimated for the whole procedures inclusive of boarding of half-a-year is RM6,000.00.
