PETPOSITIVE NEWS! DATELINE PETALING JAYA: Animal-lovers will be convening later this afternoon in Malaysia's very first animal-assisted therapy centre in the outskirts of Kuala Lumpur.
Called the Petpositive Therapy Centre, members of the Malaysian Animal-Assisted Therapy for the Disabled and Elderly Association or Petpositive will be holding their fourth Annual General Meeting since they were registered in June of 2006.
The meeting held in Section 1 of PJ is expected to bring together a mix of medical doctors, veterinarians and other professionals together. There will also be Malaysians with disabilities and the elderly who actively receive therapy from their pets.
It will not be unusual to see some of them arriving with their pets for the special meeting in the pet-friendly building.
Today will be the first time when most of the members of Petpositive will be able to view the centre which is equipped with disabled-friendly features.
Elderly members will be pleasantly greeted with an elaborate ramp that has been designed according to international standards. Disabled members with their caregivers will also be delighted to discover that the Petpositive Therapy Centre's restrooms are built spaciously enough to accommodate them when they have to care for their handicapped family members.
"For a non-profit Society that never had a centre last year, we somehow managed to do remarkably well to make an impression on everyone with our activities for 2008," said Anthony SB Thanasayan, President of Petpositive to PET+BLOGSPOT.
"We will study carefully all that we have done in the past in order to plan our activities wisely in the future," he added before pointing out that the most important thing for Petpositive now is to make sure we have funds to meet our monthly rentals of RM1,500.
