Signal at Signal Hill

Signal was spotted by one of the SPCA members. He was thin and hungry. She fed him buns as those were the only food she had with her at that time.

Last Friday (4/3/11)  two SPCA KK members went to Signal Hill to try a and rescue a thin and hungry dog that was either lost or abandoned by the owner. Apparently one of the regular joggers who goes there said that the dog has been there for almost a month. The attempt to place the dog in the carrier failed so it was decided to try and coax him again the next day. On Saturday (5/3/11) Signal was successfully rescued  and was brought to the vet for check up.

Signel the Handsome dog.

He is a handsome dog and when he was rescued it was found that he was already castrated. He is now placed in the K9 shelters. Signal is a good dog but does not like other dogs to disturb him.

"Cable", so gentle yet so misunderstood-what did she do to deserve this?

DAY  1 (22/2/2011)

·    SPCA KK  received numerous calls and emails  from the good public to ask to help this poor dog. SPCA KK members went to investigate about the dog seen by people crossing the road to go to Sutera Harbour. The dog  named "Cable" was spotted  underneath the ASEANA COLLEGE bus. They went near to check her condition but she ran away.

 Cable is recuperating and doing well but still scared and looks sad.

SPCA Kota Kinabalu would like to thank Mr and Mrs Lars Jacobsson from Sweden  for their generous contribution, Mr. Jimmy Ting, SPCA KK members,The Wildlife Department, DBKK, the private clinic, Sutera Harbour Personnel, Pn. Asma, Kak Nong's Restaurant, The Fire Department, the gardeners  and security guards of Harbour City  and everyone who was involved directly or indirectly in the attempt to rescue "Cable". The mission would not be a success without everyone's help and co-operation.

The culprit of "Cable's" agony-and yet, the real culprit is still out there amongst us!! YOU can make the difference-help stop ANIMAL CRUELTY

"Cable's" trauma is just one of many cruelty cases happening everyday in our society. Her case came to light because of the concern of some people who took the initiative to want change, from cruelty to humane measures, even for a stray dog. SPCA KK commends such people for wanting to help make a difference in a stray's life. Every stray deserves a home and it starts with that small step of being responsible not only towards our communities but also towards our animals - stray or otherwise

Wherever there is a human being, there is an opportunity for a kindness.  ~Seneca

The Story of a Dog Named Baby

Baby at one of the private clinic

The wound at Baby's neck caused by the collar.

A close up of the wound around Baby's neck inflicted by the collar

Recently a 5 month old female puppy was rescued from the Sunny Supermarket vicinity. The puppy had suffered immensely as it had been heartlessly bounded to the same tight collar since it was a month old. This puppy was strangled by the collar as it eventually grew septic as the skin grew around it. A myriad of complexities ensued as the puppy began to show signs of immense pain and trauma from the wounds dealt by the collar. All attempts to capture the dog, from using a net to trapping it in a cage were in vain.  It consumed the rescue team roughly a month of effort before they could capture it.

Baby was finally darted and captured with the wonderful assistance of Dr.Mary, who is now with WWF in L.Datu as of 19/1. The sacrifice of forgoing sleep, waiting, cajoling, crawling on the ground all finally paid off for the safe rescue of this dog which took planning and teamwork to successfully achieved... a purely ladies rescue event at that!! Baby was at a private clinic  from 19/1 - 11/2; she was spayed on 25/1 ;  and vaccinated on 9/2 and finally discharged on 11/2 to the K9 shelter where she's accompanying another young 5 month old fella, Evander.Both get along like a house on fire - hiding behind huge cardboards but creeping out to steal glances at the crazy bunch of K9 hoodlums outside their enclosure and running back to hide again.

Baby at the K9 shelter. Her health is improving but she is still scared of human touch. She would need sometime to gain her confidence and trust on humans.

 A huge thank you to each and every individual who were involved in rescuing Baby, may God Bless you.

Volunteers at Our Temporary Shelter

From the right: Emily, Ju Ping, Shima and Melle

Last Saturday (12 Feb 2011) SPCA KK had 4 volunteers (Melle, Shima, Emily and Ju Ping)  who came to help out at our temporary shelter for the dogs. Among the activities that were done were bathing the dogs, sweeping and moping the floor as well as washing their bowls. Apart from that, the most fun part of all was playing with the dogs. 

Lukluk was given a bath by one of the volunteers, Emily.

This is Snowy after her bath. She had a good sleep after that.

Robin who adopted tips and donated RM 100 to SPCAKK

We also had a family who came to adopt a puppy and the lucky pup is Tips. He is cute and very playful. We hope that he would be well taken care of and live a happy life next to his new family. We hope to find

more families and individuals who are keen in adopting a dog or a cat and giving them their love and care.

This is Febi. She got hit a few weeks back somewhere near Likas area. A kind hearted women, Karen brought Febi to the vet where Febi was given treatment for her injuries. She also donated RM 200 to pay for Febi's treatment. After being dischared, Febi was brought to the shelter. Now after a few weeks, Febi is able to walk and lets herself be touched. She is still under medication.

If you would like to help out at our shelters (dog or cat), just drop us an email. or drop a word or two at our Shout Box. We would really appreciate all the help that we can get.
