Damansara Perdana Strays Rescue

27/10/2024

Peanut needs to move on to a home environment to continue her recovery which is gaining much needed weight, learning more social skills and be home-trained.

The vet clinic, although the team has been a wonderful caretaker to Peanut, should focus on those who are in need of help.

Peanut has graduated & doesn’t need intensive vet care anymore.

Deepavali is just around the corner too and the clinic will be taking a short few days break. This means Peanut won’t be able to get the social attention that she very much crave for daily. ☹️

Please please anyone in PJ willing to help foster her for a while? 🙏🏻🥹

P/S: We’re still searching for a suitable forever family for her too. Although her journey to full recovery is going to take time, we want to assure potential adopters that they will have us alongside with them to help them + Peanut settle down. We always try our best, never less when it comes to our God-Furkids. 🥹

19/10/2024

Peanut is looking for a temporary / forever home.

She’s still at the clinic and we wish to bring her out as soon as possible so that other furkids can get help. So that the clinic can save more lives. And so that we can keep the expenses under control.

Most importantly, so that Peanut has a better secured future.

Please help foster, share her story, or if you can, give her the forever loving home she deserves.

Fostering save lives.

Every little help matters.

Help us help Peanut baby. 🙌🙏🏻

When I thought we still have time to draft the next post about Peanut, Hazel and the other doggos from Bowser’s place, we received a concerning call from the vet about Peanut’s condition yesterday morning.

She is one of the puppies from the stray community where Bowser is staying. On Sunday, the initial plan was to get Peanut and Hazel to be vaccinated and dewormed.

But we found a huge leaking lump on Peanut! 😩 So a quick decision has to be made for her. She also has been coughing a lot and that symptom was very concerning too.

We decided to admit her at the vet to address her big infected lump and the cough/flu.

But both the lump and coughing got worse very rapidly each day. It’s like fire fighting once again.

Yesterday, we have come to a stage where we need to decide whether to save her or fight for her to have a second chance to live, or to let her go.

Because I felt that she deserves a second chance, we sent her to another clinic today with better facilities to further provide treatment in hope she will turn around.

Her bill at the first vet has been settled, thanks to a quick support from many of our followers on Instagram.
We are now anticipating a bigger bill, from her life saving effort at another vet.

From the bottom of our hearts, we are requesting for financial support to keep Peanut alive and a chance to live.

Can DM if you can support and we will get back to you as soon as possible. Those who knows me personally (Asther here), can Whatsapp me ya.

We can’t do this alone. Please be part of our support team.
Pray for Peanut and donate for her welfare. 🙏🏻

💡 About DPStrays:
While DPStrays officially stepped away from direct rescue work last year, we remain committed to helping where we can. In this case, we are providing support to Peck Sim, who has been hit hard by this recent 2-week ordeal. Our goal is to guide her in building a more sustainable approach to her animal welfare efforts while offering consultation and fundraising support to cover the rescue costs for her community strays.

Your support means the world to these street dogs and their caregivers. Thank you to everyone who has helped so far – let’s keep giving these animals the care and hope they deserve. 🌈🙏

20/09/2024

Browser, Oreo and now Nugget also are running out of time.

Feeder Peck Sim is under great pressure to find them a foster home that can quarantine them from other dogs so that they can have a safe environment to fight for their lives from distemper.

But she’s now being told to put them down or she has one final choice which is to release them back to the streets, risking the other strays there getting infected too. 😰😞

She’s at a breaking point… trying to save the innocent ones, and not getting a lead to do so.

If you have an empty yard or unoccupied landed property, or a place that can house these dogs for a month, we will find someone to go there daily to feed and clean the dogs.

Please help us share out this plea for help.

P/S: We have reached out to Putra Heights Vet and BPVC. None could accommodate 😞

Help save these innocent lives.

Poor Bowser, a neutered community dog from Seksyen 14 Petaling Jaya, was caught by MBPJ’s night catching team over 2 weeks ago.

His other two pack members were also caught.

His feeder went through a lot to get them all out, and sent them to the vet for monitoring.

The vet somehow allowed him and one of his pack, Oreo, to be discharged 2 nights ago.

But to the horror of his feeder, both of them looked sick when they arrived the fosterhome, that belongs to her friend.

FYI, her friend has other beloved dogs in her place.

They had to try their best to isolate Bowser and Oreo from the rest but it’s not 100% isolation.

Today, Oreo was sent to Wawasan Veterinary for assessment & all symptoms led to distemper infection. 😰 Oreo was given the serum injection and medications. And now back at fosterhome.

And now… Bowser is left. I’ve urged the feeder to also have Bowser sent for immediate treatment.

It’s been a long 2 weeks+ for this feeder. She’s been fire fighting to keep them alive.

She doesn’t have a lot, but determination and moral support from a few friends.

So I have never done this in the entire history of since DPStrays was formed. But tonight, I am seeking help from anyone willing - to assist in saving Bowser’s and Oreo’s lives.

Type of support:

‼️ Urgently need a new fosterhome that doesn’t have any dogs. We cannot risk the lives of the other dogs in the current foster home. 😥

‼️ Financial support to bear the treatment and additional expenses that will incur in the coming weeks.

Example of expenses:
Distemper injection = about RM220 each dog
Vet fee and meds = About RM250 each dog
Possible boarding fee or salary for a worker to foster the dogs.
Food expenses (the vet advised just plain chicken as their current diet)
And we’re also hoping to be able to get DMG supplements and transfactor supplement (this cost a lot) for the dogs too for a month’s worth.

These are just a few expenses forecasted. 😰

WILL YOU HELP?

If you have an empty house or shop lot or property within Petaling Jaya that we can house these dogs for a month, please do consider helping Bowser and Oreo. 🙏🏻

ANY HELP IS IMPORTANT and VALUABLE to the feeder.

HELP… PLEASE

Dear DPStrays friends and supporters… 💞

It’s been a while since we last reached out for help. The last time was back in June when we raised funds for Maia’s preventive care medications. Thanks to your kindness, we’ve managed to cover those and the feeding of our strays with cash donations in the donation box at clinic. However, we now need your support again.

Our sweet Maia recently had her annual checkup, including blood work, vaccinations, and her very first dental scaling, bringing her vet bill to RM785. Additionally, we’re short RM140 for two packs of kibbles for our strays feeding this coming few weeks.

✨ If you can spare a little extra this week, it would mean the world to us! Every bit helps us continue providing the care our rescues need.

Any extra funds will go towards our TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return) efforts, with Halen is currently working independently to catch T**i & 4 teenage puppies from the Rafflessia hillside pack for neutering. Your donation helps us make a real difference in controlling the stray population compassionately.

We appreciate your continued support and love – thank you for always being there for our DP Strays! 🙏

It’s been non-stop lately… family, work, pets & strays issues in my condo, and all things with (one of my top most focus right now)

Just thought of dropping a quick update here so that our DPStrays friends and supporters don’t forget us 😝

We have sooo many updates to share:

1. Maia’s annual checkup by at and her first ever dental scaling session (need to find time to raise funds for her bill 😅🥲)

2. Post adoption updates & support for Cheeko, Koji, Bronzee, and a few others which I didn’t have time to share here earlier.

3. Wonderful updates from our adopter angels - Bonzo, Ash, Arjun, Tigger, Matthew and many more 🥰

4. We also lost two furkids in the recent weeks. Mandy (Maggie’s daughter) and Benji (our first and only Belgian Shepherd rescue). ~ I’m still trying to process it all, and perhaps when the time is right, I’ll share more here.

5. How DPStrays is functioning now, playing a different but still important role in animal welfare advocacy.

But tonight… I need a small distraction from all the busy-ness that’s going on in my life…

So sharing a memory captured recently with our dear Bronzee. I took a quick break to spend time with him while his pawrents are away.

And it was a great time. Spending time with him heals some of my pain.

That’s all for now.

And a personal request… if you can spare some time this coming weekend (17-18 August), do come to first ever big pet friendly event at The Rivercity, Jalan Ipoh, KL.

I will be there with a lot of our awesome industry friends, heroes and selfless people, together working on more awareness, and gaining support for our common cause.

Your presence will truly mean a LOT to me and our animal community.

You can find more info at IG page. 🙏🏻💛

Dear Friends,

Will you help us find Ash a good forever home please?

A stable home, with kind honest people, fully indoor (no free roaming that will open risks of going missing or facing dangerous consequences), and a life worth living.

He’s a lap cat. Loves humans more but will get along with other kitties if introduction is done right.

👉🏼 Gentle and cuddly, the perfect lap cat
👉🏼 Ideal for first-time pet owners, quiet households, and small families as he neither sheds nor scratches furniture
👉🏼 FIV and FeLV negative. Neutered and healthy.
👉🏼 Dewormed, deflead
👉🏼 Food motivated, making it easy for nail trimming, pilling and grooming

💖 Picture Ash, curled up in your lap as you work. His small, fluffy paws gently kneading you as a sign of his love for you.

That’s exactly what you’ll get if you bring Ash home. He is a creature of simple pleasures, whose greatest desire is to know the security of a forever home.

We’ve been a little quiet on the Ash front lately because he’s been in and out of boarding. We’re really grateful that despite Foster Mama A’s hectic work schedule, she still makes sure that Ash is well-cared for. ❤️

We’ve spoken to a few interested parties about him, and we’re in the midst of arranging meet and greets with a potential forever family. 🥹

They’re a young family and it’s their first time owning a cat, but they’ve shown a lot of enthusiasm and kept us in the loop of how they’re preparing for the arrival of a new family member. 🥰

This is something we always emphasise and really appreciate with our adopters, as we want the transition to be as smooth as possible and want to be there to help at every step of the way. 💪🏻

Please pray that this is the miracle that Ash has been waiting for.

From FIV / FeLV health scares, the arrival and departure of his foster brother Bilo, and being passed from home to home, it’s been a long but rewarding year with this food-motivated lap cat. 🐈‍⬛

Ash really does deserve every bit of kindness and love, and we could use all the support we can get. 🥺

20/03/2024

Grateful for the recent pet food donation from Kota Damansara, which couldn’t have come at a better time. With our food supply running low, we were preparing to seek funds to ensure our community strays had enough kibbles.

Though their numbers have decreased, our remaining strays deserve nourishment and care just like any other sentient being. They’re integral to our ecosystem, deserving of good quality food and consideration.

As humans, it’s our responsibility to prioritize the well-being of these innocent animals. Firstly, compassion and empathy towards all living beings are fundamental human values. Secondly, our actions towards animals reflect our moral character and define our society’s level of compassion and decency. Lastly, caring for animals contributes to a healthier and more harmonious environment for all inhabitants of our communities.

After all, they too have feelings and needs, and it’s up to us to ensure they’re met.

It feels like déjà vu once again.

3 weeks flew by too fast. Bronzee’s time at his current fosterer home is ending. And once again, I am in this position of feeling stuck, anxious, sad & scared for Bronzee’s future.

It’s not something I can control but I can’t give up now trying to find him a good home.

He is definitely adoptable. He loves being with people he trusts. He is very well trained on leash and basic commands. He gets along well with most dogs if the introduction is done properly. And he has so so much love to share with anyone willing.

Just as with you & I, he’s got some issues he needs time to sort out, and definitely needs all the support to go through the journey.

All he needs is a loving family. An owner that will love him for who he is, willing to help him be a better version of himself, and make memories together for eternity.

Where can I find this family for him?
I feel like I’ve exhausted all my channels and resources sometimes.

But I cannot give up.
Bronzee needs me to help him, just as they particular night when he got chased down the jungle side and ended up couldn’t walk in the middle of the street.

I need help. Bronzee needs help. WE need help.

Will YOU be part of Bronzee’s rescue journey to find him a forever home?

Foster him if you can.
Share his stories.
Donate for his care.
Introduce him to your friends and families.

By this weekend, he will be homeless again. Please help Bronzee find a foster home if not a forever one. 🙏🏻

One of the most important things to remember with dogs is that behavior is communication. So when we're considering how to correct problematic behaviors, we've got to look at what the dog is trying to tell us before simply slapping a "naughty" label on it.

24/09/2023

Will You?

Every pet owner should watch this...
