GrASS Land Funds Upate

To Our Wonderful Supporters,

We have currently received a total of MYR 1581.89. These funds are kept in our bank account and will not be touched until we have reached our goal.

We thank you for all your support & we keep praying and hoping for more donations to pour in.

Why we need land so urgently?

Because we want to stop the stray dogs and cats from being abused by evil people.

What they do to strays?
Beat them up, torture them, butcher them, shoot them with rubber bullets to kill them after catching them in an inhumane manner.

Now, we want to have a center not only to help the domesticated stray animals but also the wildlife as there are plans to build a second animal testing facility in Malacca, Malaysia.

The first one was found in Bukit Mertajam, Malaysia but has yet to be exposed.

Please refer to the star online: (one of Malaysia's local newspaper)

Just by contributing a dollar, you are changing the world even with the slightest impact.

GrASS requires Land & Building Funds

As of June 2010, GrASS is now about 1.5 years old. GrASS is currently aiming to raise funds to acquire land on the mainland of Penang, Malaysia as land on the island itself is scarce & very costly. With this in mind, GrASS has decided to bring together a few other animal shelters & independent pet rescuers whom have the same goal in mind to make it all come true.

Because we do not have land, we are limited to the number of strays we are able to take in. Our shelters are fosterers, rental of boarding facilities from pet shops/ pet care centers and our own homes.

We have successfully re-homed about 30 dogs & cats in total so far and have about 15 more in hand which we hope will get a home real soon. Where possible, we adopt as many as we can and care for them to provide them a great life in a home with loving families.

Here are the details regarding the land required:

Land size: 4 acres
Price: Approximately Malaysian Ringgit (MYR) 6.00 per square feet
Sum: Approximately MYR 1.05 million

Building funds are estimated to reach about MYR 5 million which we hope to include, utilities connections (water, sewage, drainage, piping, communication lines, electrical connections etc), shelter areas for animals brought in, animal hospital/clinic,workers hostel, shelter necessity storage facility etc.

Upon turning 2 years old, GrASS would seek help through applying for a few of the RSPCA Sponsorship Programmes that have been listed on their site one at a time until each goal has been accomplished where it is needed the most.

News: Guinness Record on BN Stray Dogs...

MALAYSIA SELALU BOLEH !!!     True or not? Believable, we are in Malaysia Boleh land.   If this is true, where do you think the RM700,000 goes into?? Subject: Guinness Record on Stray Dogs: BN Govt pay contractors RM700,000 in Sepang to catch 20,000 stray dogs a month = 666 dogs/day = 1 dog per MINUTE     Will the MACC - Mana Ada Corruption Commission men investigate? Maybe that Salak Tinggi MP should ask this question in Parliament. After all the billions talk in PKFZ, nobody would notice a twenty thousand dog figure worth RM700K reported in The Star on page 7 of Star Metro on Apr 1.   Now PKFZ has been conveniently shelved when billions of Ringgit disappeared into several pockets! The Government think the rakyat are just fools and time will make them forget about this massive corruption scandal!    Too Efficient Lah!!! Dog Day Afternoon.... (way to go for Productivity improvement) As we are striving to improve our incomes and productivity via The NEM to replace NEP, somebody somewhere is already leading us in productivity improvement. On page M7 of The Star's Metro today, there was apparently 20,000 stray dogs caught in ONE MONTH just under the Sepang Municipal Council jurisdiction. It seems that most of the strays were rounded up in Bandar Baru Salak Tinggi. Two contractors were assigned to do the job. The key is that RM35 was paid for each stray rounded up. So we are talking about RM700,000 here... 20,000 dogs divided by 30 days is 666 dogs a day (the number must be sheer coincidence). I assume you work 12 hours a day, which meant that you must round up 55 dogs an hour, or almost 1 dog a minute. One dog a minute! Even if you employ 10 people I doubt very much you can get one dog a minute, mind you, you still have to chase, round up, corner, leash them, and then haul them into the van - how the hell you do one dog a minute?? We should remember that these strays caught will have to be certified by an officer from the Sepang council's environmental health department as well, and we haven't even talked about where they were placed or how were they being treated or euthanised? I would love to see a compound with 20,000 strays because if you do it up a bit, it could be a wonderful theme park/zoo - forget Legoland or Universal Studios. Then I will have to question, does the municipality of Sepang has even 20,000 strays... or is it another redrawing of election district borders? Another thing is, does the municipality of Sepang has even 20,000 living human beings?? Or is Sepang like New Zealand where they have more sheep than humans living there. Then I think we should try for the Guinness Book of World Records as the only bloody place on earth with more dogs than humans!! Malaysia Boleh!!! I shudder to think if the 20,000 figure is one month one off only or has been going on for a few months - if its the latter, then the case is pretty ridiculous, its like the RM2,000 hammer. Don't you think that we have had enough of these corruption nonsense? I think the BN Govt has run out of ideas for corruption! Maybe next time, they'll pay RM10.00 for each cockroach or each ant!!!

SOS For the Seberang Prai SPCA!!!

Dear Friends,

The Seberang Prai SPCA is sending out an SOS!!!

They will be evicted from their rented premise as the owner is taking back the land. Now they are facing a very big dilemma of getting another place to rent with such short notice & insufficient funds.

Please lend them your support and help.

They need all the help they can get.

We here at GrASS are working on something to help them as well.

Thank you.

MDDB: HELP

SOS

1) WE need volunteers to help us catch five stray puppies in Subang Jaya. These puppies are about four months old and are quite frisky. They live on an open piece of land and are exposed to rain and shine. Our friend Rena visited the spot last week and says it broke her heart to see them huddled together in the rain. Four are female and its dangerous to allow them to remain there as they must be spayed. Please help us catch them. We are trying to arrange a rescue mission this weekend.

How much is the doggy?

HEROINE the puppy was seen loitering around the guardhouse of a gated community in Puchong by a resident two weeks ago.
Fearing that the little puppy might be crushed by moving vehicles, the woman rescued the puppy and handed it over to canine welfare project Malaysian Dogs Deserve Better (MDDB).
MDDB dewormed and treated Heroine and put her up for adoption.
"Heroine was a very lucky puppy as she was adopted on the same day she was put up for adoption by a family living in Petaling Jaya," said MDDB adoption coordinator Christine Lai.
She said MDDB worked hard to ensure that all their rescued puppies and dogs found good homes like Heroine.

Adopt me: Little Heroine sleeping in her basket

"That's why we hold our monthly adoption drive. It is also to make space for other homeless puppies and dogs rescued," she added.
This month MDDB's adoption drive will be held at the Summit Subang Jaya on Sunday.
"We will be located at the Summit entrance from 11am to 7pm with over 20 dogs and puppies," said Lai.
She said a family of seven short-legged puppies rescued by MDDB would be among the batch of puppies put up for adoption.
The monthly drive is also to raise funds, food and other necessities to care for the rescued dogs and puppies.
"We depend on public donations to feed our rescued canines as well as pay our veterinary bills," she said. She also said that MDDB's feline chapter, Malaysian Cats Care Project (MCCP) would take off in August.
"We have been rescuing cats and kittens as well and it is time we started a separate platform for them," she said.
She said MCCP also needed food for the rescued felines.
"We need dry and canned food for dogs and cats, old newspapers, pet shampoo, old towels, rice, cages, detergent and bleach," said Lai.

HELP!!!!

HELP!
NEED YOUR SUPPORT.

Dear people,

we are in dire need of help as dogs and puppies have been literally raining on us the past month and we are strapped for cash. There have been several rescues of accident victims, the latest being Friday evening. (We will post pics of this dog later.) Last week also saw us picking up a neglected dog that the owner had wanted to abandon - luckily his mother had alerted us. Mother dogs and new born puppies have also been picked-up the last fortnight and we currently have with us four sets of mums with newborns. The puppies with these mums come up to 27 babies. In addition to this , we have our bigger pups which suffer from demodax and mange. http://malaysiandogsdeservebetter.blogspot.com/2010/06/help-needed.html
We are appealing for your help. Please help us to help them.

Funds needed for rescued dogs

THE director of a non-governmental organisation is appealing for public help to fund a canine welfare project initiated by her organisation called Community Development and Integration Initiative (CDII).

Firoza Burhanudeen said CDII's Malaysian Dogs Deserve Better (MDDB) canine welfare project was in dire need of funds to treat, foster and rehome the dogs and puppies rescued regularly.

"The number is increasing by the day and our expenses are also escalating," said Firoza.

"Normally, we rescue the mothers as well and neuter them before finding them a home or sending them to live on farms.

"As the mothers are strays, most of the time the puppies are weak and need a lot of care and nutrition before they are ready for adoption,'' said Firoza.

She said MDDB also funded independent rescuers to neuter as well as treat dogs and puppies rescued by them.

"We also take care of puppies and dogs which are rescued from the pound and these usually cost us a lot of money in veterinary care as they usually come infected with either distemper or parvo or both which they get from the pounds,'' said Firoza.

She said caring for dogs and puppies infected with distemper and parvo was expensive as it involved a lot of supplementary care.

According to Firoza, MDDB is also caring for eight older puppies with severe skin problems in its half-way home.

"This usually involves at least six months treatment before they are put up for adoption,'' she added.

Firoza added that MDDB's rescue and advocacy could only continue with public support.

"We need funds urgently as we do not receive any corporate or permanent funding as not many perceive animal welfare as something important,'' she added.

Firoza is appealing to Malaysians to come forward to help MDDB in its quest to help the strays.

"Help us help these unfortunate dogs and puppies.

"We are in dire need of your help as we are in the red due to escalating expenses which includes the monthly rental and utilities for our half-way home,'' she added.

Those wanting to help MDDB can visit http://www.malaysiandogsdeservebetter.blogspot.com/ or write to malaysiandogsdeservebetter@gmail.com or call 019-357 6477, 012-373 9007 for details.
