KLANG People: Where Is Your Dog?

"KLANG DOG POUND : IS THIS YOUR DOG?”



This dog gazes out expectantly, hoping that his owner will come to get him out



1 DECEMBER, KLANG – Majlis Perbandaran Klang (MPK) is urging dog-owners and animal rescuers to come forward to claim more than 40 dogs in their dog pound, caught by their dog-catchers one week ago. The municipal had contacted SPCA Selangor and requested for help in creating awareness about the plight of the pound dogs, as their time was quickly running out.



The dogs were caught in the Bayu Perdana, Jalan Meru and Bandar Baru Klang area. Many of the dogs were wearing collars and were in good condition – they seemed to be lost or straying pets. The others appeared to be strays or long-abandoned pets, they are in poor condition – emaciated, infested with ticks and with skin problems. Both pet and stray dogs appeared to be distressed – the pound was the last place on earth where they wanted to be.



Pet and stray dogs are waiting for a second chance at the MPK Pound


The SPCA Selangor Inspectors and vet visited the pound on Tuesday, bringing with them 2 big bags of dog food and medication. The dogs were being fed bread and water daily and the kennels were cleaned out by the staff.




Many of the strays have skin problems and are emaciated


MPK and SPCA Selangor have agreed that it will impose compulsory neutering as a condition of release for the claimed dogs – to prevent unwanted litters in the future.
Owners can claim their dogs until the 9th of December 2009, after which the dogs will be
..open for adoption to animal rescuers and animal lovers until the 14th of December 2009.
..There will be a discounted rate on the reclaimation fee for all dogs.



Unclaimed dogs will be euthanized on the 15th of December 2009.

Spay & Neuter

Below, I'm repeating this video to show how fast and simple a neutering can be done. Just make sure a blood test is taken first to see if the dog is healthy to be operated on. Blood test usually applies to dogs, and rarely on cats:

Below, is a video on a female cat getting spayed . Warning: VIEWERS DISCRETION... it's a surgical operation video with explanations by the vet while she does the procedure, and even though there's minimal blood, some people just don't like seeing the insides of an animal:

Spaying female dogs are usually very bloody operation. This is the least bloody of the videos. I think the vet reduced the bloodiness by stuffing a gauze under the skin. The dog is sedated, and probably breathing from an oxygen mask. Spaying a female dog, is probably the messiest of the 4 videos shown here.

If you're just afraid of blood, but you're fine with looking at organs, then you can watch this :-) This is probably the fastest,easiest, cleanest procedure of the 4 procedures shown here

Spay is for females, and neuter is for males ;-)
