How Cruel Can Some People Be?
23rd Aug 2012, by Second Chance
Justine, a very gentle looking dogI went to do my marketing at Bandar Baru Sri Petaling few days ago, I saw a dog in front of a chicken stall, he was lying down and not moving, I thought he was sleeping or just resting. But curiosity got the better of me and I enquired about him from the chicken seller. Apparently he has been lying there for two days, his legs seemed stiff and straight, he could only lift up his head. It was drizzling and I have to take him away from the dirt...

Burmese Story Continues
16th Aug 2012, by Second Chance
The post on Michael the Burmese man with a big big heart had moved me so much that me and my friends decided to pick a day to visit him and his “adopted” furry fren with some kibbles supplies that hopefully will help him in some way and lessen his burden. We initially expect to see a few dogs but were shocked to see that there are more dogs under his care now. It seems that some irresponsible people took advantage of Michael’s kindness by dumping their unwanted dog ( or could be strays the...

Life Can Only Get Better For Mandy
31st Jul 2012, by Second Chance
Aunty Kiew called and told me she has rescued a little pup with an injured hind leg from some bushes. She has heard the cries of the pup for the past 2-3 days but gave no thought to it thinking a mother dog was with the pup. But this morning she could not hold her curiosity anymore and decided to jump over the fence to take a good look. What she saw broke her heart, the pup was crying not only because of the pain but also she also must be very hungry. She took her back to the shel...

House Check!
21st Jul 2012, by Second Chance
Eric was adopted during the June adoption drive which was held at our shelter. He was adopted into the loving family of Chris Tay. We went to their house to check on Eric as according to Chris, he has been biting their shoes! When we got there, Eric was very alert and barked at us. He was indeed a good guard dog. He loves to shake hand with people and can be easily trained. If given time and a bit more patience, his habit of biting shoes can be solved as well. Here are some pictures during the h...

Puppies In A Hole
6th Jul 2012, by Second Chance
I took this picture near my house. These two puppies took shelter in a drain. First thing that came to to my mind was how cute they were. But they were starving and their mother was finding it so hard to search for food for them. People think that neutering is inhumane but please think hard about it again.....I know some owners won't neuter their dogs but let them wander out of their houses. These dogs will certainly find 'interesting things' to do out there. Some...
