Dear Friends of the
Animals,
Someone, somewhere out there,
needs a pet - help us connect them to the ones waiting for a home.
A Heart-To-Heart Message
from Us at Independent Pet Rescuers, Malaysia by Sherrina K
Every week we spend close
to RM 650 ringgit boarding our rescued animals at a vet’s.
We really don't have a
choice. First of all, it's hard to find
people who will open their homes to foster an abandoned or stray animal.
If we choose to leave the
animal on the streets any longer, we know they will be facing brutality.
So, after we rescue the animals we put them in
a half-way place, like the vet’s, so that we can start the rehabilitation and
re-homing process.
Then the people we send
our emails, SMS, whatsapp, etc sometimes read the information without doing the
simplest and cheapest thing they can do - which is to forward the message or
link to as many people as possible. We know this for a fact, because most weeks
no one turns up at our adoption booth.
How is this possible, when every week before the Saturdays adoptions I
send out at least 250 - 300 messages (and Maxis and Whatsapp will vouch for
that)?
So I'm not asking you to send out as many
messages as I do, I'm asking you to just do what you can. Send what you can.
Help where you can. Give what you can.
Here are our some simple ideas of what you can
do:
1. At the end of all your emails - put out
blog address there. Someone is bound to click it.
2. Just before the Saturday adoption, put on
your Facebook or Twitter for a few hours information about the adoptions.
3. Use whatsapp and send out, for free, as
many messages as you can while you're waiting to get your hair done, wait for
your food, stand in line at the cinemas, etc.
4. Here’s our E-Leaflet
attached, just forward that to all people you know.
5. Print out our E-Leaflet
and paste it on your notice boards in offices, church, club houses,
organizations, associations, etc
At the end of the day if
only one adopter turns up on that Saturday, that's one puppy or cat in a new
home forever.
And what did this cost you
- absolutely nothing, maybe just your time. Tell yourself every week you're
going to take five minutes just to do this.
Just to help. Sending such
positivity out into the world does you good, as well as helping those that
can't speak or ask for themselves.
Please don’t leave us
disheartened - help to boost our morale and to shine some light for our puppies
and cats.
Here's our e-leaflet
attached, to print and put on your notice boards or email to your friends or
contacts.
Here's a Facebook, SMS or
Whatsapp message you can copy and paste.
