'KISS THE DOG' - Fundraiser for JAR at SAS (Pudong)!!

Sat, 03 Apr 2010 05:37:00 +0800

'Kiss the Dog'?...what is that you ask?
The Shanghai American School in Pudong held a fundraiser event (Elementary/Middle and High School Students) to raise money for the Animal Rescue Project Group and JAR by donating money in the teachers JAR. Whoever had the most donation had to kiss Picasso (stray rescued by JAR, now with a loving family (Danka & Ryan))
It was a successful and fun event and the teachers and students raised a whopping 10,000 RMB!
Thanks again to the support that Marney and her group has done for JAR. The group has made things possible to support more vulnerable animals and assist further with projects ahead!

Puxi Puppies

Tue, 23 Mar 2010 16:24:00 +0800

As the spring weather is here, more and more strays are seen and walking about in the city of Shanghai. Not only that, it's that time of the year where you would expect to find and hear little cries from kittens or puppies, whether they are hiding in the bushes, abandoned, or just in plain view to see. This was the case for us the night of 23rd March. We received a phone call from a fellow rescuer in Puxi and informed us that a local Chinese woman's dog gave birth to 8 puppies and had a 3 month old puppy in her place. The obvious thing we did was arrange to meet up. There were 4 of us in total. The woman told us that the mother dog gave birth to 10 puppies last year (sold them to people) and now 8 again this year. We had a slight battle on our hands in trying to convince the woman and her husband to surrender the mother, puppies and the 3 month old. Eventually after long negotiations (so glad that our Chinese friends and rescuers were there to save the day!), they decided to give us the puppies.
As you can see from the 1st set of pictures, the mother had her pups in a small tray, barely enough room to move around and was a risk for the pups getting crushed!
We luckily found a pet store close by and bought a large enough crate for her to manouevre in.

The puppies are only a couple of days old. We are going to wait till the puppies have weaned, spay the mother and have the puppies vaccinated and hopefully adopted or fostered out to willing families!
We anticipate to have the puppies available for adoption/fostering week commencing 19th April, 2010.
The other puppy (3 months old Jack) is healthy and available for adoption. Please check his profile by clicking the link below: http://jargroup.doodlekit.com/album/image/2340661
If you are interested in either fostering, adopting or know of somebody who would like to have a pet, please get in touch with us!!

JAR -- Project - Build a home for 22 dogs in Baoshan

Sun, 21 Feb 2010 13:46:00 +0800

Dear JAR Supporters,

On Saturday, February 20th, I went to Baoshan with a friend who in turn introduced me to Ayi Wang.

Ayi Wang is a caring and kind hearted individual who herself has personally rescued abandoned and abused dogs (22 dogs / 6 cats in the shelter and 5 dogs / 4 cats in her home!). For the past couple of years she has housed them in a building with limited space and resources (linen, food, medical care etc).

Everyday, she takes a bus which take over an hour to the vicinity to feed and check up on the dogs. She has 5 other ayi friends helping her, however, with no funding, they can only do so much in providing the animals medical care & pet supplies.

Currently each pen (4 in total - 3 pens for the dogs and 1 pen for the cats, approx 7 x 4 feet in size) holds 7 dogs per pen.

I have seen the dogs and they are all adorable and wanting attention. I am just glad that these dogs are out of harms way, however, their living conditions need to be drastically improved.
Apparently, all of the dogs have been vaccinated, dewormed, deflead and desexed. This is something that we would like to have a veternarian come out and thoroughly check. Ayi Wang is doing her best in caring for these animals and seeing the situation on Saturday has inspired me to help this person and the animals.
The goal now is to raise 10,000 RMB (this is the cost to build them a proper kennel). This will provide a bigger home & space for the dogs/cats. It will also give us the opportunity to health check each dog/cat, have them professionally groomed and provide them with pet supplies, linen, food, bones etc with extra funding received. Once the donations have been received, the contractors will take approx 2 months to build the units. The home will provide ample space and walking area for the dogs to be exercised in and an area for play.
We will have the dogs/cats screened (health) and ensure their temperament and character is deemed ready for adoption. Slowly but surely we will push to have the animals adopted out to good homes and to loving families.

With your support, JAR will be able to continue its mission:

To provide education and outreach in the community, medical services for needy animals, upgrade facilities for homeless animals, and strong adoption programs to ensure that every companion animal lives in a safe, loving and secure home.

Thank you for considering this request for your support. If you have any questions about this project, please do not hesitate to contact us via email or on 136 3662 4300.

We really appreciate any support that you could give us for this
very worthwhile project.

Sincerely,

JAR

Shanghai American School - Cake Walk Fundraiser for JAR!!

Wed, 10 Feb 2010 16:21:00 +0800

Dear All,
Julia and I would like to thank all the students who have participated and did wonders at the 'Cake Walk', SAS for letting the group use an area of the school, and for those who baked wonderful cakes!
Special heartfelt thanks to Marney for arranging and organising the event. She made it happen and we appreciate all the things that she and her group have done.
Near 5,500 RMB was raised. The donation will help JAR pay for the spaying of the mother dog that we saved a week ago in the village. Check out the story on Bai Long Gang gang.
We also plan to neuter a cat that is slowly getting used to us in our compound. Recently, a dog was rescued in Jiading district by an intern. JAR will help him with the medical fees and work on getting the dog adopted.

Thank you again for all your support and choosing JAR as one of your designated charity to raise money for.
Please find some pictures of the event below! Enjoy!

Marvin & Julia

Lost Pet - Tilly!!!!

Wed, 10 Feb 2010 02:30:00 +0800

To Whom it May Concern,

I lost a small white and brown dog yesterday.

I live on Taikang Lu and she was last seen on Shanxi Lu and Jianguo Lu.

Could you please let me know if you have seen any dogs like this, or if you have any advice for how to continue to search for her? I have attached a couple of photos. Her name is Tilly and she is just over 1 year old.

Thank you for any help you can offer.

Best,
jordan

'Bai Long Gang' Gang!

Fri, 05 Feb 2010 01:20:00 +0800

Please meet the 'Bai Long Gang' gang!
The puppies are approx 6 weeks old (black/white is a female and the other two are males).
They were living under a wood pile in the village near the Shanghai American School (Pudong). A couple of people have been taking care of them (feeding the mother, sometimes taking them inside of their home). The people were greatful that we are going to find the dogs permanent homes and our intentions to have their well being and health on par.
We rescued the mother and her pups with the help of one teacher at SAS (who heads the 'Animal Rescue Project Group' in SAS) and took them to the vet. The mother has been spayed and vaccinated, whilst the pups have been dewormed and vaccinated. Overall, they have been given a clean bill of health!
Thanking the family who are supporting us as they are going to adopt one (Lily) and foster the other two (Jake & Milo)

Law would keep cats, dogs off the menu....

Wed, 27 Jan 2010 06:47:00 +0800

EATING cats and dogs might result in a 15-day detention, according to a draft of a new anti-animal abuse law that has rekindled an old controversy on the Internet.
The draft also stipulates that people who eat cats and dogs should be fined as much as 5,000 yuan (US$732) and restaurants found offering cats and dogs on menus fined as much as 500,000 yuan.
The main advocate of the law, Chang Jiwen, said the draft could help break down trade barriers imposed on China's animal products, such as leather and fur.
Some Western countries are banning imports of Chinese animal products, citing inhumane treatment to animals in the country.
Chang told Beijing News that he was confident the National People's Congress, China's parliament, would pass the law within 10 years. He said the draft will soon be finished and sent to authorities for revision this April.
Chang said the committee in charge of drafting the law has received more than 400 phone calls and 300 e-mails commenting on the proposal. Most of them agreed with the necessity of such a statute.
He said banning cats and dogs from dining tables would not influence people's daily life.
Other than exporters of animal products, cat and dog lovers applauded the draft.
Animal lovers took to the street in several protests last year to urge local governments to stop people from eating cats and dogs.
Several animal-protection groups have occasionally ambushed trucks sending bamboo cages filled with cats to south China's Guangdong Province, where people have a taste for unusual ingredients.
Yet in a survey conducted on a news Web portal, 63 percent of 23,000 total voters said the draft law is not practical.
Opponents argued that the law is designed only to pander to Western values. They noted that dog meat is eaten in several Asian countries, including China and South Korea, as an historic cuisine.
Cat meat is an important ingredient in a noted Cantonese soup originating in Guangdong. Dog meat hot pot is considered a nutritious food in winter in some places of the country.
Others said stray cats are getting out of control, roaming in many cities, and have become a great nuisance to people as they defecate in gardens and garages and make terrible noises at night.
During the 2008 Beijing Olympics, all official Olympic restaurants were ordered to take dog meat off the menu to avoid offending foreign visitors.
