 WELCOME! YEAR OF THE ROOSTER 2017

 

We hear very often that Year 2017 will not be good for everyone and it is going to be tough, so much so that it will also affect NGOs too. Well, we need to stay positive and hope for the best with each and every one's blessing too.

To summarize how we fared in 2016, we are doing not too bad after all, though our adoption rate has gone down compared to the previous year. We were not heavily packed with too many abandoned animals and this allowed us to extend their stay at the shelter for rehoming. We are glad that more students from schools and colleges have made their choice to visit SPCA to perform their community service. This, in a way, helps create awareness and makes them understand the perception on how the abandoned/unwanted animals end up in shelters. Thus, the need to inculcate Responsible Pet Ownership is important.

Happy New Year to everyone reading this and may you be blessed with all positive vibes as you go through the Year 2017, Year of the Rooster.

ADOPTION HIGHLIGHTS

The month of December ended with 11 animals adopted. Thus, the number of animals adopted in 2016 was 91 comprising of 75 dogs and 16 cats. For adoption, please visit our adoption gallery at www.spca-penang.net.

In addition, SPCA organized two fun games at its booth.
