JB Dog Lover Can't Post

My name is Jerry and I am from Johor Bahru. I have been reading this forum for some time and am happy to see so many dog lovers out there who really care. I thought I was doing a lot to home some dogs that have been dumped but compared to what you guys have been doing I am nothing Blush

By the way, I have 6 dogs in my house! Yes and everyone has a story. I only stay in a double-storey linked house so I make sure they have enough exercise by walking them twice a day. I believe some of you may say that it's overcrowding but believe me, they are much better off with me then where they came from!

My association with dogs started 15 years ago when my mother picked up a mongrel from the streets. We named her BROWNIE and she is still with us up to today. She is very old and now has problem with her hind legs but nevertheless still healthy.

MOPHEAD is a 7 year old Shih Tzu picked up from the streets in Singapore. When he was found he only had hair on his head which explains his name. Now he is the darling of the house and has the privilege of sleeping with us in our room!

BOBO is a Shih Tzu mixed picked up from the streets near my home while I was walking MOPHEAD one morning about a year ago. He was in quite a terrible state then, now he is a happy and naughty little guy that waits for me to walk him everyday.

WINNIE is a English Cocker Spaniel left behind by a neighbor when they moved to KL. I sent her for spaying the moment I got her as the rest of my dogs are male!

JOY is a 7 year old Golden Labrador. He was sold as a Golden Retriever when he was a puppy but the owner discarded him when he saw that he was not a pure breed. I adopted him 3 years ago from a vet I know.

The latest addition is BEN, a Black Labrador Retriever, my son picked up on his way back from school just before Chinese New Year, nobody has claimed him up to now so I guess he must have ran away from home and wandered to this area.

I am currently trying to 'save' a Golden Retriever from their owners.
A mini-mart 'uncle' told me his son-in-law has 2 GR for sale so I went over to see with no intention of buying. I had the shock of my life when I saw the GR. Tied to a 2 feet leash with plain rice as food,
he is one of the skinniest dog I have ever seen. Judging from its size and features he is a pure bred but his condition is even worse-off then the strays on the streets. The owner knows that I am a dog lover and is asking for RM1200 which I think is extortion! I am currently negotiating with the owner not because I need another dog but if I don't buy him out, he is going to die of starvation.

I am very angry with the owner but am not able to offend him as he is the owner and I am keeping my cool for the GR's life sake.

Ooooh, my introduction has become a long story. Sorry and thanks for reading.

Jerry

I haven't even heard of a Johor SPCA but I think reporting them would put me into trouble as the owner's family runs a mini-mart near my house and he knows where I stay. The guy is a 4D runner so better not be to hard on him. He isn't the type you can meddle with.

The male GR is very very skinny because he refuses to eat plain rice. The female GR is much better but they are both chained to the fence all day. They were purchased to breed. I am trying to buy out the male GR first as I think it's quite critical but I cannot afford RM1200.

Yes I know but he owns the dog and he sets the price - he was also very rude when I asked him why his dog is so thin - he said he lets him eat 'good food' - plain white rice with a spoon of condensed milk! My thoughts are just on saving the poor GR that's all. Looking at the current condition, I don't think he will be able to sell to anybody that's for sure. I can only pray that he doesn't die of hunger.
I have made my final offer, something that I can afford and he doesn't look very keen. At least I know that I have done my best.

The mini-mart is in Permas Jaya but the dog is in Taman Sri Skudai their residence. They have decided not to sell the dog - not very sure why. Are you interested in buying?
