Praying for a miracle van

Barbara, founder of 4paws and I

I still remember my first trip to 4paws a few months back. I brought along 20kg of rice and 14 kg of dog food and I felt so ashame of myself after I witnessed Barbara's dedication to the 4legged friends. The 20kg of rice last 1.5 days and the 14kg of dog food is only 28% of the daily consumption. I felt so small. My heart goes out to Barbara who dedicated herself wholeheartedly to 4paws. She is 70 years old, the same age as my mother. I then made a resolution to do more for her and 4paws. So here i am, appealing for help from my friends and family. Some people told me RM58,000 is a very large sum to raise but I keep faith in my heart. Despite all the cruelty I saw inflicted on the dogs, I still have faith in human kind and it makes me truely believe that a miracle can happen. Martin Luther King, Jr said "Faith is taking the first step even when you don't see the whole staircase."

 

4paws needs a van for dog rescue operation and also to transfer the injured dogs to the vet. It is doing a great job rescuing and taking in the injured strays, unwanted dogs and puppies. Those wishing to donate please contact me. Appreciate very much, big or small amount it does not matter. If everyone of us contribute just a little, our synergised effort will lead to more lives save. Let us come together to rise up againts senseless, cruel human action such as the wicked act again Simon, the dog (in the photo),that was buried in the sand at the beach at Batu Feringhi by insane human, waiting for high tide to drown it. Some human can display such an utter evil act againts god's creation, we, human,are also capable of goodness, capable of coming together, to be the angels for 4paws, granting it the wish for a miracle van. On my part, i have pledge RM1000 to get the ball rolling, it is still a long way but i am B+ ( Be positive) :)

A heaven for the dogs

I visited 4paws again today, with a group of my current and ex students. I brought along 300kg of rice,140 kgs of dog foods,a few big bags of old blankets and towels and RM200 donation for medical needs. Most of the things were contributed by my friends, colleagues and students who have been very supportive of this cause.

Each time i visited the shelter, there seems to be new dogs and new sad stories. There was a dog that was burried in the sand on the beach by some cruel people. It got rescued by 4paws and now paralyse. There is also a dog with maggots eating up its whole anal(rectum) and i saw how Barbara, who is as committed as always, removing and treating the poor dog. However, these dogs are now in a safe haven under good care of Barbara. It's the hope of Barbara that more people can come forward to adopt the dogs as they deserve lots of love and care from human. The no kill shelter is having over 200 dogs and it's overwhelming. Please do consider adoption rather than buying dogs.
