Dear Members & Friends,
Good greetings to all! On Saturday August 20th, we commemorate International Homeless Animals' Day (IHAD) as introduced by ISAR (International Society for Animal Rights) in 1992. The aim is to fight dog and cat overpopulation with awareness campaigns worldwide on the third Saturday of August each year. More and more social websites are developed to help educate on responsible pet ownership and create awareness on pet dog and cat overpopulation. And yet, we are still not able to control the situation. Animal shelters and individual social pet care givers keep increasing. We still keep receiving complaints on strays here and there, continuous daily calls for surrendering of animals. The list goes on… To commemorate this day, SPCA Penang joins ISAR in this campaign by giving out neutering vouchers to help pet owners offset a little of their expenditure on neutering. To be eligible for the neutering voucher, please complete the form available from this download link and submit to us at info@spca-penang.net.

| Animal Adoptions | |
|---|---|
|
In July, our animal adoptions were extremely poor. We only had one adoption. However, we are not disheartened that only one home was found. It took "Lucky" 17 months to find his new home. Lucky is a dog who is unable to mix with his own peers but perfect with humans. We are indeed gratified and happy to note that he has left the shelter for a new life.

| Fundraising Projects | |
|---|---|
|
When we present a talk to visitors/volunteers, many ask how we manage our funds considering that our monthly expenditure touches RM20,000. We thank the many donors who have contributed regularly. Should we not receive offers from other individuals and students at the various colleges to fundraise for SPCA, our own volunteers and the management would be busy in planning means and ways to generate income. We are indeed blessed and appreciative of the following who fundraised for the shelter during July, helped out at the shelter and donated food & goods.
