MunMinnie
I am very proud to have grown in a family that have educated me to love animals. Since young, I am very certain that I will never be targets of animal attacks; such is the trust that I have on them.
Every time I look into their eyes, I see sincerity that is very hard to find among people around me.
Given a chance, I will change how the world looks at them & give more of them a chance to love and be loved; simply because they all deserve it
~\ ( ^ 3 ^ ) /~ I may not be the piece of bread that can cure the hunger of all in the world, but my continuous efforts shall increase these numbers day by day ~\ ( ^ 3 ^ ) /~ |

Baa Bra Brack Ship
Graduated with a degree in foreign language, couldn't find job anywhere, so signed up to be world domination conspirator with the cats.
On the path to become the best animal photographer out there, only thing stopping me is my bank account... and the path... and the animals.
"The only photographer to capture the soul of the animals!" -no one ever said that to me.
"Best photographer with natural talent working with the animals!" -no one said that either.
But, "Absolutely no B.S. by this B.B.B.S!" -Andy, Founder of PetFinder.my |

Kopi & TehC Wong
I'm Kopi, a little miniature schnauzer tall in stature big in heart but mum always call me a whining old man. I have a battery-pack of energy powered by love wifey, her name is TehC. We're both named at the time when mum was obviously drunk on mamak drinks! We're also on first name basis at the vet's given our names are so easy to remember. psstt... easy to remember, easy to scold too! :S We love to travel and we've been to Penang, Melaka, Port Dickson, Kuantan and even Langkawi for holidays! Our weekend schedule is always packed and we're busy bees with school and all sorts of activities with our friends! BBQ, hikes, sleepovers, day trips, volunteer work, just about anything! Not just that we are always out and about going to eateries with our mum and great grandma, grandma, aunts, uncles and cousins too! Phhewww... only when mum's at work do we get to rest :) |

Hello world! I'm Senri, a full time student and a part time blogger. I'm also a freelance writer and photographer who loves taking random photos with the 24/7 helper, EOS60D. My story begins with a small little puppy that came into my life suddenly and since that day, I was inspired to be an animal lover. Of course, I'm still and always blessed to be able to enjoy every single moment with Boy Boy.
Now it's time to contribute back to the community. it's my turn to inspire and educate the society with the knowledge and experience I've gained along the way. :) |

Rayya The Vet
I was born overseas and grew up in Lebanon. About 9 years ago, I left my family and friends behind to pursue my dream of becoming a veterinarian in Australia.
I have now been out in practice for the past 5 years. I absolutely love being involved with all types of animals and consider it my "calling". Whilst my job can be quite an emotional rollercoaster ride, I cannot fathom doing anything else for as long as I am living. I simply feel blessed every day that I am practicing what I truly love. |

My time away from the usual routine of work, family, my rabbits and blogging is mostly spent educating and sharing my knowledge with fellow rabbit enthusiasts both locally and internationally. |

Mohd Nazri a.k.a. Uncle Herp
Animals always have a place in my heart ever since I was young. There was never a time as far as I can remember that I was without a pet at any time in my life. From cats, rabbits, hamsters, fish and the list goes on.
As I get older, I had gotten more interested in reptiles and exotic animals. They appeal to me in such a way that it became a passion to me and prompted me to start out The Malaysia Herpetology Club and much recently the Malaysia Association of Reptiles and Exotic Animal Keepers (MARAK) https://www.facebook.com/MalaysiaARK.
All this just to get all reptiles and exotic animals together to share experiences and help each other out in matters regarding the pets that they keep. |

Dave Avran
Describe Dave Avran? Now that's complicated. The dude graduated with a double degree in hospitality management and marketing from UWA, Perth, WA and proceeded to terrorize poor hotel and resort staff for the next 28 years as a General Manager. He likes big bikes and fast cars, and indulged in his passion for writing and music as a journalist, editor, lifestyle magazine publisher, and then proceeded to the theatre as actor and talent manager before becoming active in animal welfare activism. He's widely sought after for his PR and Publicist networking, and is a social media junkie who's wired 24/7. While doing all that, he still finds time to jet set and reviews all the music festivals in this region.
We told ya it's complicated. For today, let's just make life simple and call him an avid animal lover. |

Jessica Ng
Grew up wanting dogs, thanks to the four-legged friends and heroes depicted in story books. Our first family dog was welcomed into our home when I was 13, and aside from the time spent in UK studying and working, I've always had dog(s) around since. Through them, I've learnt so much and am still learning about life and ironically, humanity. |

Andy Koh
Founder of PetFinder.my. A left-brained wired dude by day, and a right-brained music producer by night. Strongly believes in leveraging technology to enhance the lives and welfare of animals. Loves animals more than humans. Most of his communications are between him, computers and furry creatures. And perhaps a few monosyllable caveman grunts with Homo sapiens. |

Sabrina Saw, Menari Machine
I spend my life, very fortunately, being able to do what I love every single day. When I'm not coaching or choreographing, I'm working on various types of projects. I love my job (if I can even call it a "job"!) and I love what I do but at the end of the day, NOTHING beats the furry welcome of my best friends. All of my dogs were strays and they are all incredibly individual in their personalities. Although I am away from my family who are back home in Hong Kong, my dogs are my family here. I wish more people would adopt and give these amazing animals loving homes! |

Guni Gomez
I grew up in a beautiful German country side, with lots of farms and animals surrounding my parent's home. In our home there were always animals from Budgies to Parrots, Dogs and Cats, Rabbits and we had a permanent resident in the old barn a Hedgehog with its family. I count myself lucky with all the farms around, I was able to witness natures most pressures moments the start of a new life from mating to birth. I saw Chickens hatch, the birth and cleaning of Piglets; I was even able to witness a caesarean on a Cow. Until today I treasure these beautiful moments and wish my kids would have the same chance of experience it.
I am married with 3kids & some furry kids as well. I have spent the past 15 years of my life in one of the most beautiful countries "Malaysia". Where, I started my journey as a volunteer in PAWS.
Now we are Down Under and we continue the journey as volunteers and we became a Foster family for the most needed Fur kids. |
