SPCA

Here are some researches about SPCA . Have fun ! :)

"SPCA Selangor is an animal welfare organisation based in Ampang Jaya, Selangor. The aim of the SPCA is to protect defenseless animals and to alleviate their suffering. 
We receive more than 700 unwanted, homeless or abused animals every month. 
We provide an adoption program, investigation of cruelty reports, humane education, assistance to community animal caregivers and run a dedicated, low-cost spay/ neuter clinic. 
We also lobby the Government and local municipals for humane treatment of animals and harsher penalities for perpetrators of crimes against animals.
Founded in 1958, SPCA is a well-respected and trusted Non-Profit Organisation. Over the years, the organisation has gained tremendous goodwill, recognition and support from animal lovers all over Malaysia ."

By the way , we can also make an adoption towards any cats or dogs in SPCA . Just hand in your name , register of course , and pick your animal , and they will arrange it for you . Though you already adopt the animal , you should always check your animal with SPCA once in a month or anytime you feel like to . :)

One of the attractions beside than adoption is we can be a volunteer . What is that ? 
There are many volunteer duties at the animal shelter - these include the morning sessions of kennel cleaning, helping to prepare and serve meals to the animals, kennel guides (assisting the public when choosing an animal), socializing the animals, and general housekeeping duties. Experienced dog handlers may also assist with walking the dogs, bathing and grooming them.

Volunteer work starts at 9am everyday, up to 4pm. Individuals and smaller groups of up to 5 people can drop by for volunteer work anytime, however we require bigger groups to inform us of their intended visit beforehand (for easier coordination, maximum group size is 15 pax).



If you are experienced and interested in helping in the MarComm Department, you can assist us with the following:

  • Media liaison - press releases, finding new opportunities for SPCA through media, etc
  • Marketing materials - creating new materials or upgrading old flyers, posters, etc
  • Merchandise - design, sourcing, surveys & research, stock count, etc
  • Education - conducting educational sessions for students, conducting tours of the shelter, etc, assisting with creation of new Education Packs
  • Photography - For updating online adoption galleries. Taking photos of animals for adoption, getting details and uploading to SPCA website, Facebook, and several other websites
  • Database management - help update SPCAs database of emails
  • Campaigns - Propose and help to carry out campaigns e.g. Dog Bite Prevention for schoolchildren, Anti Dog/ Cat Meat consumption, etc

Our first meeting was held in McDonald's Sri Kembangan , Selangor . Had a briefing about those unchosen topics . We were actually discussing on those hot topics such as child abandon , animal abuse , tsunami in Japan , smoking among students *teenagers specifically , teenagers sexual immorality , and many more .

After discussing such and such , we decided to chose Animal Abuse , which we are actually focused more on stray cats and dogs .
