 Animal Rescue
Policy |
 |

PAWS accepts unwanted and
stray dogs, puppies, cats and kittens. All are kept, cared for and re-homed if
possible. As much as PAWS would wish otherwise, PAWS cannot guarantee that all
surrendered animals can be kept or put up for adoption. This is sadly
unavoidable for so long as surrenders outnumber adoptions. In a shelter
environment, it is inevitable that space, staff & financial constraints
determine how many animals PAWS can house at any one time. If you surrender any
animal to PAWS, you do so with the understanding that the animal may be "put to
sleep". If this is not acceptable, please do not leave any animal at PAWS.
Help PAWS by neutering your pets.
Harap maklum, PAWS tidak dapat
menjamin bahawa semua haiwan yang ditinggalkan di PAWS akan dipelihara
atau diberi tuanpunya baru. Dukacitanya ini tidak dapat dielakkan, selagi
bilangan haiwan yang ditinggalkan di sini melebihi jumlah yang diambil. Faktor
kekurangan ruang, pekerja dan kewangan menentukan jumlah bilangan haiwan yang
dapat ditempatkan di PAWS, sebagaimana rumah kebajikan haiwan yang lain.
Sekiranya anda ingin meninggalkan haiwan di PAWS,
anda melakukannya dengan kefahaman bahawa haiwan tersebut mungkin “diberi
tidur” . Jika hakikat ini tidak dapat diterima, sila elakkan
daripada meninggalkan haiwan di PAWS.
Bantulah PAWS
dengan mengembiri haiwan-haiwan peliharaan anda.

Our minimum suggested Donation for
bringing in an animal OR adopting a pet from us are as follows: |
|
| |
|
|
| |
- Adult Dog: RM50
- Puppy:
RM80
- Adult Cat: RM30
- Kitten: RM50 |
|
| |
|
|

Pedigree animals will cost a
minimum donation of RM250 to adopt and these animals rarely come with
certificates. Adoption donations are necessary to help us meet the running
costs of the shelter. Although we have set a standard minimum fee per animal we
ask that if you can afford to donate some more to our charity then please do
so. It costs a lot per month to maintain our centre, there is at
present no government funding meaning we survive on the kindness of public
donations. |

YOUR DONATIONS IN CASH AND
KIND ARE GREATLY APPRECIATED. |

Your help can make a

IMPORTANT: No PAWS animal is to be
taken out of campus on credit. Payment must be made and a receipt obtained.
Always insist on a receipt for any money that you hand in to our office.

Aside from
cash donations, we are always in need of various household items so if you're
planning a visit to PAWS please read What To Bring With You To PAWS. |

DO YOU
REALLY WANT TO GIVE UP YOUR PET? |
|
| |
|
|

We would advise anyone
thinking of bringing their unwanted or uncared for pet in to us to please think
very carefully about the decision before doing so. It is a sad
fact that only a minority (around 20%) of the animals brought
in to our centre will ever make it out to be re-adopted. Many
of the animals we look after at PAWS have been with us for years and when an
animal is no longer a cute puppy or kitten it becomes less likely that somebody
will want to adopt it. When the animals have been kept in cages for a long time
it is natural that they will often become depressed and suffer from stress or
the effects of illness. |

Unfortunately at PAWS there is not
enough room to house the adult cats and dogs in separate cages. Often many
animals will have to live together, sometimes up to 50 in a small space which
for them is like being held in a prison. Cats especially are solitary creatures
and it is particularly damaging for them to be held together in great numbers.
Without the necessary funding for space to house them properly all we can do is
to keep their cages clean, make sure they have enough food and water, try to
let them out for exercise and give them regular attention. |
|

If you really feel that you cannot look after
an animal yourself then the kindest thing you can do is to find the pet a new
owner by asking around all your friends, relatives and neighbors. Please keep
the pet for as long as possible and be patient as you ask everyone connected to
your social network. Try putting up a written notice in your local grocery
store, newspaper or ask around your colleagues at work or worship to see if
someone would like to adopt your pet. It would also be a happy ending for both
of you if during this trial period of finding it a new home you found it in
your heart to look after the pet yourself. |

We do not give out this advice as a
get-out clause for caring for your unwanted animals. The fact is that bringing
an animal to PAWS does not guarantee it a happy life and indeed is likely to
cause the pet a great deal of distress or worse. You only have to walk around
the centre to sense the sadness and frustration in many of the animals. If we
had the funding to build bigger and better shelters, to vaccinate every animal
against disease, to employ more staff and vets to care for them and to neuter
(de-sex) them then it would surely be a wonderful situation. |
|
| |
|
|
| |
In an ideal world we could also run
national advertising campaigns to get people to adopt as well as donate more
sustainable funding to help the strays that find their way to us. |
