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.
