Animal surrender policy

Bringing animals to PAWS or adopting a pet

PAWS accepts unwanted pets and stray animals – puppies, adult dogs, kittens and adult cats. Once they come to our shelter, they are given medical attention, fed and re-homed if possible.

As much as PAWS would wish otherwise, we cannot guarantee that all surrendered animals can be housed with us indefinitely due to space, staff and financial constraints. This is unavoidable for so long as surrenders outnumber adoptions.

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 to you, 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.

Adoption fees

The adoption fees for an animal from PAWS is as follows:

1. Adult Dog: RM50
2. Puppy: RM80
3. Adult Cat: RM30
4. Kitten: RM50
5. Pedigree animals: Minimum RM250 (rarely come with certificates)

However if you see an un-neutered puppy or kitten you wish to adopt, you may book the animal at PAWS by paying a surcharge of RM50 for dogs and RM30 for cats subject to the adoption and booking policy. Our personnel will show you the relevant forms to complete. However the animal will only be released to you after our veterinarian has neutered it. If you require more information, kindly contact the PAWS office.

Surrendering fees

If you wish to surrender an animal to PAWS, please be aware that you are required to pay a surrendering fee – adult dog: RM50; puppy: RM80; adult cat: RM30; kitten: RM50. Adoption and surrendering fees are necessary to help us meet the operational costs of running the shelter. Although we have set a standard minimum fee per animal we ask that if you can afford to donate more to our charity, then please do so.At present PAWS receives no government funding to run our shelter meaning we survive sorely on the kindness of the public for donations.

DONATIONS IN CASH AND KIND ARE GREATLY APPRECIATED.

Your help can make a difference. Thank you!

IMPORTANT:

No PAWS animal is to be taken out of the shelter on credit. Payment must be made and a receipt obtained. Always insist on a receipt for any money that you hand over to our office personnel.

Aside from cash donations, we are always in need of various other things. So if you’re planning a visit to PAWS, please read What to Bring With You To PAWS.
