I've written many times about Meiji, a lady who single-handedly runs a dog sanctuary up on the hills of Raub where there are currently 128 dogs.
We have been helping Meiji with the spay-neuter bills of her dogs and also the medical treatment at our panel vets or at her vets in Ampang or UPM. She drives all the way from Raub to the Klang Valley whenever her dogs are sick, to bring them to the vet.
All her dogs are spayed-neutered, and most importantly...happy and healthy.
Meiji taps rubber to sustain her sanctuary, but with 128 dogs, she needs help. She runs the sanctuary without electricity or piped water, and has been managing this way for the past 14 years or so.
We have raised funds to purchase dogfood for her previously and this morning, Meiji texted me to say she needs help with two dogs who are being treated for tumours (which we will help from our medical fund) and she also needs dogfood supply.
We are thus raising funds to purchase dogfood for Meiji and hope you can help, too.

I'll let the photographs speak for themselves now...
Meiji's dogs are all either abandoned or picked up from the highway.
Whenever we visit, a whole battalion of dogs will come downhill and accompany the jeep uphill. It is the most welcomed sight that no money in the world can buy!
You'd be greeted with happy barks all the way.
Just how well does Meiji look after her dogs?
You don't have to ask, just look at how healthy, friendly and happy her dogs are - that'll be your answer. Dogs do not know how to lie or pretend.
Meiji brings her sick dogs for treatment, to the vets in the Klang Valley.
These are two parvo puppies she helped to bring to our panel vet, on behalf of her friend in Teluk Chamang.

At other times, Meiji uses her own vets in Ampang and UPM.
If the dogs are not loved, they would never be this friendly to everyone.
Nor so healthy, happy and chubby!
The dogs love durians, too!
This was taken during one of our trips there to send dogfood supply.
Feeding time!!
Imagine having to feed 128 hungry mouths...
Meiji takes it in her stride, and some of the more timid dogs are first kept in cages so that they can eat in peace. Every dog has a name and history, and Meiji knows them all. Ask her the name and history of any of her 128 dogs, and she will have a story to tell you.
We witnessed how these dogs took Meiji's shoes away for a game of hide-and-seek-the-shoes!
She is always hugged by someone...some dog!
Following the leader and their loved one.
Although I have visited Meiji a few times now, I continue to be awed by how happy her dogs are. I am so touched by Meiji's compassion and all her great efforts at taking care of her dogs.
I have never heard Meiji lament about how difficult it is. She just carries on, day after day, because this is what she wants to do. And she does it so willingly and with so much love.
Meiji does not ask for help unless she really needs it. For the past one year, she has been taking care of all the medical bills with money earned from rubber tapping. Although I have offered many times, she politely declines it and tells me she has enough.
Meiji is an 8-preceptor. This means she has renounced many worldly pleasures and has chosen to concentrate on spiritual development. For her, this translates to looking after all these stray dogs who previously wander aimlessly on the highway or have been abandoned by their owners.
This is compassion in action.
We will be closing the food donation drive on Sunday, 18th September.
We hope you'll help by chipping into the fund.
Please help us forward this link to your friends.
Thank you.
