this cant be sure as we do not know the amount of strays around pulau ketam now... thats y the survey is important.... we will not know how many dogs are still there in pulau ketam ....tv smith n sabrina is concentrating at pulau tengah and if they require our help, hen we see what we can do... probably after pulau ketam, we may rent a boat and go to pulau tengah as well....

this all i cant confirm until when i survey pulau ketam first. i dont wanna rush into anything b4 i have full survey, full info and so on....

that is y i kept mentioning tht the survey is an important element....

btw, my lastest update we have 5 volunteers include me for this trip.... so should be adequate for today mission...

LYN'ers, please pray for us and hope this mission will be a successful ones.

how bout save the dogs at penang here...

here at permatang pauh,u can see many dogs being tied at one place

for even 10years they din let them go even for a while...sad

all the dogs came here as a beautifull lovely dog...

but go as "no hair" dog...poor

all the time,when i see the little cute dog being tied infront of the store i really wan to save them...

but i cant i juz see them being weaker and poorer as every days go...    

Just want to let you guys know that once you wish to undertake the rescue at the other island where the dogs were abondened, please please please take precaution with regrds to the strays and the island itself.
1) Theyre strays, they may have rabies, fleas, make sure you have proper first aid at hand.
2) Do your research and also ask around the fishermen and locals on pulau ketam of the dangerous species of animals or plants that they have seen or reside in these mangrove islands, ie: sea snakes, poisonous plants, sea alligators.
3) Remember rule 1 and 2

I thinking the same way as yours. I wish we can help Sabrina more than sending the dogs to SPCA n PAWS coz i have a bad experience sending a dog i rescued to SPCA here 3 years ago. So i end up keeping the dog my self (took the trouble. I'm a malay and live in the apartment so u know what i mean)

And u didnt contact the authority like SPCA??Maybe u have more luck than mine in dealing with them (SPCA)

I am bringing about 30++ people, we are going to separate to two teams to work on Pulau Ketam and Pulau Tengah.
If let say Sabrina needs more help from me, I don't mind to shift a team for her, or even get another team for her, since she knows me (my dharma name). 

please be noted that we will have a online discussion of our coming mission later TONIGHT @ 9pm....

we will setting up a protemp working committee as im not able to handle everything here, lets be more transparent, work accuracy in our planning.

those interested can add me on msn @ adran_ck@hotmail.com...

hi chibi tenko.. you are right.. i will discuss this with my fren again. she's too eager to go to pulau ketam to help.. whereas i say that the cost is high for just a few people to go there - in the end do nothing and just help pulau ketam tourism (food, lodgings, boat)..

anyhow once i confirm will lias with you..

p/s: one of the things we can provide is a van.. transport human or dogs ...

I wonder.. is there any goverment vet nearby that u guys can send the rescued dogs for treatment? Such as Klinik Kembiri etc. Err.. Are they good vet?

Try Dr Loh from Scarrfff Project 012-2023794, area Kota Kemuning. My geography is sucks. Does it near and easy for u guys to send the dogs there? Maybe shud try to give her a call first and ask. My fren said Dr Loh has been care a lot of stray dogs in her clinic. I hope there's a vet who willing to treat the dog and charge for the meds and treatment only.

Secretary cum Media & Communications reporting in! Hi guys!

First of all, apologies if any of you tried to contact me but can't reach. I've been running up and down Pulau Ketam for the last couple days, and will continue to do so until I'm satisfied with the information I'm gathering (eg: how where when the strays lurk).

So far, in the latest updates, I found 2 possible hot spots where the strays hangout. I'm going back to the island later, to confirm the sightings. I don't have a translator with me yet (I dunno hokkien la!!) but I'll try my best to chat more with the villagers, hoping to find out more, like maybe there's a favorite house the strays love.

It doesn't hurt to find out the least horrendous spot to go under the houses too, when the need arises.

So, I'll be afk/busy/dnd a lot until Friday, most probably, which I'll settle down with all the information, analyze a bit then put them in a nice simple chart that tells us what where when how is the best way to go about the missions.

Good luck on getting more volunteers and equipments.

Hi everyone, this is Adriene (not sure with the exact spelling), a survivor of the Hell Island, Pulau Tengah.



At about 4.20pm today, Terrance (or better known as TV Smith) found out there’s a rescued dog left at Perlabuhan Klang, along with the cage. He managed to get a volunteer (I’m sorry I couldn’t remember his name) to find and secure them. We acted as the emergency dispatch, and delivered the dog to Furry Friends Farm.

The female form of Adrian is Adrienne

Good job on the rescue, guys! No wonder you all left rather hurriedly after TV Smith and Pummkin's appearance. I thought you all had left, without saying goodbye

P.S. I can't believe you guys really took my idea to name the first dog you guys rescue after Adrian...

BTW, what do you guys want to look for as treasurer? I mean, since we're not handling cash, so what would the job description of the treasurer be? And since we're not handling cash, I suppose I could volunteer if it involves things like handling donations, keeping track, collaborating with you guys and/or FFF regarding the donated materials etc. (But not soliciting donations) I'm a very organised person so keeping track of things and handling stuff is quite easy for me >_> Although, that being said, I have to at first say that I will and may not be able to follow you guys around during the rescue missions due to other commitments- I'd mostly be at FFF.

Dear all....

let me recall yesterday outing in which im very glad to see all the members hand in hand to go all out at FFF, and even when it comes to 134 packs of 10KG rice, in which in total... we lifted up 1.34 tonnes of rice!! aint this gonna go in as a record?

im glad too that we r able to spoke to smith n sabrina at FFF, and yes, as what joyce aka A-D-Photographer did mentioned earlier, we are now officially collaborating with FFF, TV smith n Pam as a official partner to them.... and we are a part of their team whom sharing same vision, same objectives.

we shall await whats the outcome of FFF, SPCA, other NGO's n government decisions n outcome of the meeting before any other further plans could be made by tonight.... so pray that everything will go smoothly, and by then we shall know where is our role in the collaborating partnership...

i believe we are heading to the right directions, and on the right path as well to do more, so i hope this team here will stay together as tight as possible, work hand in hand n eventually, we will get thru all the hardship n challanges ahead of us.

and also, i would like to thanks mun yee on behalf of the team for contributing 3 dog cages for our mission, and made her all the way from bukit jelutong to pass it to us..... may you be blessed for your kind n generous contributions.

sidestep abit, i didnt know louis, celine and michelle had some evil idea of naming the dog as Adrianne, although Donald had name her Serene earlier, and when we arrive at FFF later with SD, i only thinking to get her out and place her in a safe heaven of her own.

then comes, the picture sessions, name of Serene Adrianne, etc... i was like blur for a few moments, i believe this not my alone works, its to the team in whole as well!!

Team-mates... heres to u (replace the mug with coke, plain water pls) haha...

enjoy this beginning of our journey, and we will face more n more challanges soon...

cheers!

panasonic.. you are the girl with the kenari? nice to met you yea~~ and also chibi-tenko.. and adrian.. the rest errr.. next time we met up properly
