Furry Friends Farm - KUNDANG, Selangor
( A Sanctuary for dogs and cats in Selangor )
For many years, it has been thought by many animal lovers to organize a sanctuary for abandoned and abused dogs and cats and lately in Selangor, this dream has come through when Furry Friends Farm was established on 4th October 2006 by an animal lover, Sabrina Yeap.It all began when there was an increase of stray dogs and cats population in the street and the high euthanasia rates in our local shelter. Animal lovers have taken the initiatives to rescue dogs and cats from the miseries of hunger, thirst, injuries, sickness, pregnancy, abused , car accidents on the road and the fate of euthanasia in local shelters and in the authorities' dog pounds.
When animal rescuers cannot afford to bear with the high boarding fees , the restrictions of local council by-laws in keeping too many dogs at home and therefore question arises as where can the rescued animals be housed and cared for by dedicated volunteers in an unlimited time ? As more animals are being rescued with the desperation of animal lovers to house the rescued animals safely, Furry Friends Farm has made it an opportunity to secure this dream of a sanctuary for dogs and cats in Selangor. An agriculture land of 4 acres in Kundang is currently rented for
Furry Friends Farm after the farm was officially registered as a private company
on 4th October, 2006 under the ownership of Sabrina Yeap. The farm started in rescuing 10 dogs in 2006 and the number of furry kids, mainly dogs and puppies has increased to 35 to date. The farm is only dependent on volunteers and from a solo volunteer in 2006, there are 6 dedicated volunteers now since the mid of 2007.
The policy of Furry Friends Farm :
1.RM1 A Day to keep an animal from being a stray :
2.Monthly contribution from rescuer to upkeep the rescued animal at the farm is compulsory as this is the only humble request to help the animal rescuer as majority of the animal rescuers comprise the middle and low income group community.
3.Compulsory of medical bills contribution :
4.Rescuers are required to send the rescued animals to private vets for all necessary
medical checkup and responsible to pay for the vaccinations, wormed, neutering or other treatments prior in sending the rescued animals to the farm.Other subsequent medical bills if required will be borne by individual rescuers.
Furry Friends Farm offers free adoption as the responsibility of adopters is
the priority to ensure the animals end up in the most loving and caring homes.
Home visits will be compulsory for all animals adopted.
Furry Friends Farm has also expanded its mission in Animal Welfare Education.
The launch of Dr Dog Malaysia with Jill Robinson, MBE, the CEO and founder
of Animals Asia Foundation, based in Hong Kong on 9th June, 2007 marked the
success of Furry Friends Farm in gaining the recognition from an International
organization.
Furry Friends Farm had successfully re homed its first abused case in 2007 where
a 5 months old dog was cruelly being beaten up by foreign construction workers at
the Selayang construction site. The poor dog survived with a broken front lower jaw.
The dog was named Joy and it is now fully recovered and adopted by a loving family
in Ampang.
Furry Friends Farm aims to be transformed into an NGO and it is working towards
this direction in securing more rescued cases as track records for the recognition
as an NGO by the public and the Registrar of Societies.
Furry Friends Farm is looking forward to have a permanent land for the animals
where cattery can be built for the rescued cats and kittens.
The concept of Furry Friends Farm is to build a beautiful garden for the animals.
We believe that the success of the farm is the beginning of building a more caring
and loving Malaysian Society. After all, the animals are God's gift to us and we
should love them.
