Do you have time to help???

From a volunteer:

“My boyfriend and I (English couple) were visiting Penang and found out online about the SPCA shelter and emailed to see if we could pop by. We spent 2 days at the shelter walking the dogs and then a couple of hours each day playing with the younger dogs and puppies who could not be taken outside the shelter. The vet students working there informed us that the dogs do not get taken outside the shelter if nobody volunteers – which instantly made us realise the importance of people stopping by! There are not many dogs, so even a couple of hours of anybodies time would be worthwhile here to get the dogs out and about. Each dog was so excited when they saw the lead and that they were going to be taken on a walk – some can be walked for longer and some are scared of the roads and need some extra care.

We really enjoyed our time here and felt like we brightened up the furry friends’ days! I hope volunteers continue to help out here and socialise with the dogs. In turn, maybe they can all be re homed sooner ” – Rachel Walker (UK)

SPCA Penang

SPCA Penang's main objectives are to prevent the unnecessary suffering of animals and to ensure responsible pet ownership. Hence the Society acts to prevent cruelty to animals and promotes kindness towards them by fostering an intelligent public interest regarding Man's duty animals.

Though the Society is sometimes compelled to put down an animal, our work covers a much more wider scope of rescuing, rehabilitating, healing and re-homing the animals.
