感谢JB ANIMAL MEDICAL CLINIC愿意提供我们一个位子让我们举办流浪动物领养日，造福流浪动物们，感谢热心公益的JB ANIMAL MEDICAL CLINIC!

流浪动物一直是被社会所忽略及漠视的一个庞大社会问题，而愿意面对，伸出援手及解决的民众是少之又少，加上无法从学校，父母甚至整个社会中学习对流浪动物的认识及帮助他们的正确方法，导致流浪动物的数量有增无减，而很遗憾的，马来西亚公民本身也缺乏为自己宠物结扎的意识，导致自己的宠物每每生下了孩子后，狗 主又无力照顾并不负责任的将其抛弃在街头，从而增加流浪动物的数量，这是一个恶性循环。

每一年都有上万的无辜小流浪动物们懵懂地来到这个世界上，一些侥幸的生存着，但是更多的它们在还没看见这个世界人性化的一面时就不幸的死亡了，其中原因包括饥饿，疾病，遭受虐待，车祸，而更过分残酷的是，被人吃下肚..

此次活动的目的是为了
1. 帮助被拯救的小流浪动物们寻得永久家庭并摆脱流浪在外的悲惨命运并减少流浪狗数量，我们将在活动中带出10-15只小流浪动物们开放领养，义工们将为有意领养的公众进行简单的会谈面试，并评估其是否是一位适合的领养人。

2. 我们将积极宣传“以领养，代替购买”的意识，让更多人知道领养动物的好处。

3. 我们将宣传结扎意识，教育公众结扎宠物的重要性，希望大家能自发为自己的宠物甚至帮助街头的流浪狗狗结扎。

4. 我们将放置捐款箱于会场中以筹募资金帮助我们能为更多的流浪动物进行结扎手术。

“希望护生园流浪猫狗领养日”活动策划人及负责人嘉嘉阿姨指出:”新山普遍上的公众大多偏爱购买名种狗狗，我们也发现越来越多的非法宠物繁殖者在新山出现，这个现象让流浪动物的身份变得更卑微，许多人都对流浪动物的命运抱有一定程度的同情心，但是当他们想要拥有一只宠物时，却丝毫不考虑领养可怜的流浪动物，而选择购买名种狗。我们主办这次的活动也是为了扭转这个风气，提升流浪动物的地位，教育公众为什么要选择领养，期盼更多的人选择领养，抵制购买宠物。”

她也指出，由于收容所已经收留了超过700只的流浪猫狗，小狗的数量也达到70只以上，资金不足及地方狭窄问题导致希望护生园团队能为流浪动物做的事非常非常有限。“每一次在街头看见一群群流浪着的小动物们就觉得异常心酸，他们并没有做错什么，却得每天承受种种的困难，努力的想要生存下去，但是收容所能力有限，往往都会有心有余而力不足的感觉。”

请新山的朋友们出席这项活动支持我们，为无法发声的一群努力争取更好的福利，也请大家帮助我们宣传这项活动，齐心合力，我们定能为流浪动物带来更好的明天!

Million of thanks for JB ANIMAL MEDICAL CLINIC to provide us the venue to organize our pet adoption drive to help the homeless animals..BIG THANK YOU to them!

Urban strays is a huge social problem that is always neglected by the society. There are only few of them from the society who are willing to lend a hand to help tackle this issue. Most of the people do not have the chance to understand stray animals and learn about what they can do to help the animals from school nor their parents/family and the society. This caused the strays’ number to increased non-stop. Regret to say that most Malaysian do not have the awareness to neuter their pets which leads to their pets to give birth to unwanted puppies/kittens. Irresponsible owner who do not want to take care of them will dump then on street. This is a vicious cycle in motion!

There are thousands of innocent strays puppies/kittens born yearly, some survived but most of them die before they grow to know the world. Starvation, diseases, human abuse, road accident, ate by human… are just a few reasons to be named that had caused their death.

The objectives of our Adoption Drive are:

1) To find a loving home for the strays puppies. We will be bringing around 15-20 puppies on that day for adoption. Our volunteers will conduct a simple interview with interested individual to screen for his/her ability to become a potential adopter.

2) To create awareness for adoption, rather than buy. When the buying stops, the selling stops!

3) To promote and educate the public about the importance of neutering. We hope to reach out to more family with pet to neuter their pet and sincerely hope that they can support us by neutering the strays in their neighborhood.

4) To raise fund for our Spay&Neuter Programme. We will use this fund to neuter the strays so that their population will not increase further.

Hope Adoption Drive event organizer and person-in-charge, Jia Jia Auntie pointed that: “People in JB generally prefer to buy a pedigree dog, and we noted the increased number of illegal dog breeders in JB areas. This phenomenon makes the situation against survival of the strays as the public will not consider adopt a stray but to buy a pedigree dog. That is the reason why we are organizing this stray’s adoption event, to change this trend, to lift the status of strays, to educate public the reasons for adoption. We hope more people will adopt and not to buy a pet.”

She also mentioned that currently the shelter is home to nearly 700 homeless cats and dogs, the number of puppies also shoot up to more than 70. Insufficient fund and space in the shelter are already causing the HOPE’s rescue team to limit their help to save the strays. “It is heart breaking every time to see packs and packs of strays fend for themselves on the street. They are not doing anything wrong but to suffer all the difficulties and challenges everyday to survive. We are so bounded by our limited resources and we can't do more to help.”

We wish friends in JB to attend this event to support us, to speak for the strays and stand up for them; You can help by spreading this news to your friends and family. Let’s work together, hand in hand to create a better tomorrow for them!!
