No dog should starve while the rest of the world celebrates 🎄💔

This Christmas, thousands of dogs will be searching for scraps & struggling to survive. Just £5 could provide a Christmas Food Bundle for them.

Will you feed a hungry dog this Christmas? 👇🏽

Remember Sassy, who's receiving palliative care? 🐕❤️‍🩹

Five years ago, this lovely girl came into the care of our IAPWA Penang team, who made her a promise that she would always have a safe place with them.

Today, she's facing one of the biggest battles of her life. Sassy has been diagnosed with hemangiosarcoma, an aggressive and life-limiting form of cancer, but she's not letting that stop her from enjoying life. She's still bright, alert and full of character, happily tucking into her favourite treats and rushing to greet visitors whenever she gets the chance. It's wonderful to see her still enjoying so many of the things that make her happy.

While we know that Sassy's time is limited, there is still so much we can do to make sure her remaining days are as comfortable and happy as possible. Our dedicated team on Penang Island is working hard to manage her symptoms and provide the medication and veterinary care she needs to ensure she continues to enjoy the little things that bring her happiness.

But this ongoing care comes at a cost, and we need your help to make it possible. When Sassy first came into our care, we promised she would always have somewhere safe to call home, and we're determined to keep that promise right until the very end.

Can you help us make sure Sassy continues to receive the care and comfort she needs in this final chapter? 🙏🏼

Little Penny still hasn't received enough donations to fund the care she desperately needs 💔

This traumatised girl was rescued from the streets with a broken leg and pelvic injuries, while also battling tick fever and anaemia.

Can you help Penny? 👇🏼

Oh Miracle, you are so brave ❤️‍🩹

Remember Miracle, the poor boy who went missing from his community and was then found dumped on the outskirts of Tangier years later? While he may still look very poorly, we're pleased to share that he's making progress as he continues his recovery.

The nasty scabs are starting to fall away from his skin, and little patches of hair are beginning to grow back across his body. He's still very weak and has a long way to go, but it's lovely to see these first signs of improvement 🤞🏼

We're going to be here for Miracle every step of the way, making sure he gets all the care and treatment he needs.

Will you be there for him too? Without a family of his own, Miracle is relying on your kindness to help him get better 🙏🏼

Imagine lying broken on the streets, crying out in pain, and nobody stopping to help you 💔

That was Penny's reality. A traumatised puppy, trying to cope with a painfully broken leg and pelvic injuries, all while struggling to survive on the streets of Penang Island.

When Penny was finally rescued, she was terrified and extremely weak, cowering in the corner of her kennel. We believe she had been suffering on the streets for quite some time, and it breaks our hearts to think about how long she was left frightened, alone and in pain 😢

To make matters worse, little Penny's body is also fighting tick fever and she is severely anaemic. This sadly means she isn't strong enough to have the surgery she desperately needs just yet. First, she needs time and treatment to build up her strength.

Our IAPWA Penang team are doing everything they can to save this sweet girl, but as a small charity, we can only give Penny the care she needs with YOUR support.

Please sponsor Penny today. Your kind gift could help save her life 🙏🏼

What a spook-tacular night! 🎃🐾

A fantastic time was had at the Howl-o-ween Pawty fundraiser, organised by Alpha Furkids Academy in support of IAPWA Penang. A big thanks to all who came along, joined in the fun and came together to support the dogs who rely on our lifeline 🧡

Miracle still needs your help 💔

Good news... Miracle, the little dog who went missing for years before being found in a heartbreaking state this week, has now had all his tests at the clinic. Thankfully, he has tested negative for leishmania, but he does have tick fever and faces a long road to recovery, both physically and emotionally.

Miracle will have a home for life at the SFT sanctuary unless he finds a loving forever home. In the meantime, he urgently needs donations to cover his extensive treatment and care over the coming weeks to help him get better!

Will you help Miracle get the treatment he desperately needs? 🙏🏼

Old girl Sassy may be receiving palliative care, but you wouldn’t know it by looking at her ❤️‍🩹

She continues to be surrounded by love and care from the IAPWA Penang team and enjoys all of life’s little pleasures. While we can’t change the outcome for Sassy, we can make sure her remaining days are filled with comfort, dignity and love.

If you’re able to donate to Sassy’s palliative care fund and help give her the most peaceful closing chapter she deserves, we’d be so grateful.

🚨 EMERGENCY: Will you help us save Miracle’s life? 🚨

We're heartbroken and devastated to share Miracle’s story today 💔

A few years ago, Miracle was treated and tagged through SFT Animal Sanctuary's TNVT programme before returning to his community. Then, heartbreakingly, he disappeared and didn't return. They could only hope he had found a loving home or assume that he had sadly passed away.

Until recently, when someone on the very outskirts of Tangier contacted the team with devastating news. Miracle had finally been found years later in a truly harrowing state, desperately weak and skin and bones, with his little body covered in painful sores and wounds. He had been plucked from his community, dumped all alone, and then left to suffer 💔

The team rushed to collect him immediately, and Miracle is now at the veterinary clinic, where he urgently needs extensive tests and treatment to give him even the slightest chance of getting better.

We’re so sorry this has happened to you, Miracle. You deserve so much better, and we’re going to do everything we can to give you the chance of a happy future.

But we cannot do this without the help of animal lovers like you.

Miracle URGENTLY needs sponsors to help with his veterinary care, tests and treatment. Will you donate today to help give this brave boy a fighting chance? 🙏🏼

Can you believe someone once deliberately tried to harm this beautiful girl? ❤️‍🩹

Sweet Burns has been receiving specialist treatment and care in Tangier over the past few weeks after being deliberately burnt by a member of the public, and she’s making wonderful progress.

She was even well enough to be spayed recently and is recovering well from that too. She visited the clinic last week to have both her burn wounds and spay wound checked, and thankfully, her burns continue to get smaller every day.

Despite everything she’s been through, Burns remains such a loving girl. It’s heartbreaking to think of what happened to her, but we’re so pleased to see her healing and finally having a brighter future ahead of her.

A huge thank you to everyone who has supported Burns, and to our friends at SFT for taking such wonderful care of her. We’re so glad she’s getting the chance to recover and enjoy the life she deserves ✨

Little Bing hasn’t received many donations 💔

Thrown out onto the streets of Penang Island, this poor puppy suffered a painful hip injury whilst trying to survive. He now faces a long road to recovery.

Will you help Bing get the urgent care he needs? 👇🏼

APPEAL: Will you help us save Bing? 🚨💔

Bing is just a puppy. He should be discovering the world, playing with his toys and growing up surrounded by love. Instead, he’s already endured more pain and hardship than any puppy ever should.

Bing was thrown out onto the streets of Penang Island like trash, left to fend for himself in a dangerous and unfamiliar world. And sadly, his suffering didn’t end there. Whilst fighting to survive, Bing sustained a painful hip dislocation that required surgery, leaving him facing a long road to recovery.

Thankfully, little Bing is now safe with our team and has begun his rehabilitation, taking tiny steps towards healing and the hope of walking independently again. Despite everything he’s been through, his gentle, playful personality is still shining through.

But Bing can't do this alone 💔

He has no family to hold him close or a safe home to return to. What he does have is a chance at a brighter future, but we need your help to make that a reality for him.

Will you sponsor Bing and support his ongoing treatment, rehabilitation and care, giving this brave little boy the opportunity to grow up safe, loved and free from pain? 🙏🏼

Happy 9th Anniversary to our IAPWA Penang teammates 🐶🎉

Nine years ago, IAPWA Penang set out to change the future for stray dogs and build a truly humane path forward. Today, we're celebrating the amazing impact the team there have made:

🐾 Zero dogs killed on Penang Island since March 2018
💉 Nearly 9,000 dogs neutered through our Trap, Neuter, Release / Rehome (TNR) programme
🏡 Over 1,200 dogs rehomed into loving families

Seeing these results shows just how powerful humane dog population management really is. Every single one of those numbers represents a life saved and a second chance given.

A huge congratulations and thank you to the dedicated IAPWA Penang team, and to every supporter who has backed this work along the way. Here’s to many more years of changing lives ✨
