PETPOSITIVE NEWS:It is confirmed! And plans are underway at this moment to make it happen.
Early next week, five disabled and elderly members will be taking a trip to the Society of Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) in Selangor to volunteer their time and learn more about what this well-known non governmental organisation is doing to help animals in our society.
The event, organised by PETPOSITIVE will include the blind and the physically handicapped.
Besides manning the telephones for a while, Our Society's members will also help bathe, groom and feed the puppies at the SPCA. There will also be an opportunity to play with some of the resident kittens of the animal shelter.
The purpose of the trip is to educate the disabled and elderly about animal welfare and rights and also to promote animal-assisted therapy for them.
This will be the first time that PETPOSITIVE is having a project in the SPCA. It is also the first time that the SPCA is doing something like this with disabled and elderly people.
The last time the venue had several disabled people was when SPCA had invited Bivai Special Dogs to their shelter to help a disabled man have a pet.
A dog (not from the SPCA) was trained for almost a year under Bivai Special Dogs for the wheelchair user as a service dog.
The human candidate unfortunately however, passed away a year later - just when his service dog was about to graduate. The training was sponsored by the Lion's Club.
On another note, scroll below for a special feature - just for laughs - that was submitted to us recently by PETPOSITIVE volunteer Sally Addington.
