Every Year, Thousands Of Healthy Dogs And Cats In ..

Every year, thousands of healthy dogs and cats in Sarawak are homeless simply because there aren’t enough homes to go around. We are working hard to combat the pet homelessness crisis, and spay/neuter operations are ONE of the most EFFECTIVE TOOLS at our disposal.

Spaying (female) and neutering (male) helps curbs animal overpopulation and has medical and behavioral benefits for pets—yet there are a number of myths, rumors and falsehoods circulating about this important procedure.

We are here to set the record straight for 2021, to see less homeless pets and abandonment.

Myth 1: Neutering will make my pet feel like less of a male.

FACT: Pets do not have any concept of ego or sexual identity (only humans do!), and neutering won’t change that. What might change, however, is that your male dog will be less likely to roam away from home! An intact male will do just about anything to find a mate, including finding creative ways to escape from the house.

Similarly, spayed female pets WON’T go into heat. While cycles can vary, female felines usually go into heat four to five days every three weeks during breeding season. In an effort to advertise for mates, they’ll yowl and urinate more frequently—sometimes all over the house!

Spay/neuter operations will help curb this behaviour and keep your pet where he or she belongs: in your safe and loving home.
