Mutiara Rini Dog Shelter Cleanup day!

Knowing the weather is good, we decided to bathe our furry friends. Wash wash wash, scrub scrub scrub! 

This time we have guys helping up...

We decided to share and assigned workload so that we could clean and bathe as many dogs as we can. 

First time washing and cleaning up so many furry friends...omg! Chasing after them, coaxing them and carry them. Really a great experience that I had gained. 

Unfortunately, not every of our furry friends enjoy the bathing session. There was one got angry and bitten Ming Siem. He went to nearby clinic after the washing up. Lucky the wound was not infected. 

Those were not able to bathe, we decided to apply some powder on them. You might be thinking if we used J & J baby powder_nice smell. Absolutely NO! Baby powder is harmful. If inhaled, it may cause aspiration pneumonia or granuloma. So we decided to use plain flour instead. It is harmless and tasteless even if furry friends lick. 

Milk Time for Puppies!

After cleaning up, it was puppies feeding time. A mummy doggy would wait patiently outside the gate. Once we let her in, all the puppies would go after mummy doggy and drink milk! The puppies were so hungry...more milk ! 

After milk, the puppies would find a good spot and sleep. ** Yawn Yawn **

Time is a companion that goes with us on a journey. It reminds us to cherish each moment, because it will never come again. What we leave behind is not as important as how we have lived.

Please move forward and help these Man best friends!

First time to Mutiara Rini Dog Shelter

This is the first time in my life starts to explore a new challenge....be a volunteer to a dog shelter. I did some minors volunteers work in community center (Rotary Club of Singapore) by helping the elderly and taking care of kids. But this is totally different from the past that I did. Feeling so excited and enthusiastic! 

Met up the volunteers on a great sunny morning and heading to the shelter. During the journey, Rain kept on telling me not to have high expectation on the shelter and explained the tasks that the volunteers always did. 

When I arrived at the shelter, I was ultimately shocked. Around 150 dogs and puppies would run towards you. These furry friends were so happy to see the familiar faces. Wagging their tails and jumping around_waiting for your attention. I was almost freak out at that moment but fortunately the volunteers encouraged me.  

These furry friends stayed in a durian plantation, with only a lady. And the living standard was really bad. Without the volunteers and other kind people around, i think she would not manage. Some of the dogs were either sick or injured. All these need extra attention and extra care. This really hectic. 

We started to help on feeding the dogs and puppies, clearing their poos, cleaning the puppies and arranging the food. 
While helping, the volunteers told me the dogs' names. And understand their behavior. By sharing their experiences, I understand them better_our furry friends! 

Due to limited resources and bad environment, some dogs had passed away (Sick). Knowing this is aching but always looking forward a better tomorrow. Hoping more volunteers will give a helping hand. Regardless if you are adult or student, please donate if you can. We need to have funds to keep these innocent furry friends sound and safe. Without your help and care, these furry friends will not have a safe shelter and food everyday.
