The incident happened this afternoon when a river nearby swelled up and sent a rush of waters disrupting a special Xmas party organised for the rescue dogs of the popular Malaysia Independent Animal Rescue.

Within minutes, the waters almost reached  the rooftops as the more than a dozen volunteers fought to save the lives of as many canines as they could. 

Many perished as a result. 

However, the canines that are alive badly need a temporary shelter to house them, until they can be relocated properly. 

The incident happened behind the Petronas petrol station, next to KFC outlet in Kajang. 

Volunteers are still needed there.

Sexy Kellan (Twilight) Lutz Talk About His Dog Kola For PETA

Smoldering Twilight star Kellan Lutz stars in a PETA ad with his adorable rescued mutt Kola to tell fans, "Adopt, Don't Buy." Every time someone purchases a dog or cat from a pet store or breeder, one fewer home is available for an animal desperately waiting in an animal shelter or roaming the streets.

Kellan Lutz and Kola for PETA

Each year, more than 7 million dogs and cats are left at animal shelters in the U.S.—and nearly half of those must be euthanized because of a lack of good homes. Kellan explains, "It's our job to take [animals] under our wing and take care of them and give them a place to live."
Animals sold in pet shops often come from "puppy mills," where they are housed in cramped, filthy, and unhealthy conditions and lack proper veterinary care. And in light of the current animal overpopulation crisis, it's clear that there's no such thing as a responsible breeder. Kellan tells PETA, "Kola is my best friend." If you're thinking about bringing an animal into your home, be sure always to adopt and never to buy.
Check out Kellan's exclusive interview for PETA, and watch him share his thoughts about meeting Kola for the first time. Plus, listen as he gives Twilighters a special message letting them know what they can do to help animals!
