Animal Food Bank: The Effort Continues
A
nimal Food Bank Malaysia has donated more than 2000 kg of pet food to date. Visiting the animal feeders and shelters is indeed a powerful experience. “You will have mixed feelings, very touched but sad at the same time,” said William who visited a shelter with us recently. Each time there is news of interest to pet lovers, Very Important Pet Magazine usually has the privilege to be your eyes
and ears. A new pet friendly ground is brewing at Jaya One – The Square. The Square’s community-driven space will house Malaysia’s leading and thriving coworking space, Common Ground. Functioning on two floors, they will be operating their latest 21,000 sq. ft coworking space facility at The Square — dedicating the ground floor to be pet-friendly! That’s one revelation. We will reveal more at our next issue.

They found love in an unusual place: in the pool.
Lumpur, to participate in Malaysia Corgi Family’s event, Flop & Swim 2018. The name of the event says it all, there was a swimming contest as well as an extraordinarily cute Corgi diving show. While the Corgis had fun in the pool, the owners were not left out. The owners were showered with door gifts and those who are extra lucky have also won some prizes in the lucky draw. Not only have all returned home with fond memories, but also with many gifts and prizes as well. Everyone has enjoyed the short but fulfilling 3 hours of fun time, and had the opportunity to know the Corgi community better, forming a bond only made possible by their Corgis.

← MEAL TIME:
Nothing can stop them when they hear that the food has come.
↓ NO EASY FEAT:
Cash told us that taking care of a shelter is not easy at all. Other than monetary costs, Cash has to put in a lot of time and attention to these unfortunate animals, as each of them may require different kind of care and treatment.
TRUST: The dogs here may not be pure breed, but with the right effort, they can bond with and trust humans as easily too.
← MIXED FEELINGS:
William is happy to see them being well taken care of, but felt a bit sad as well to see these adorable animals being abandoned.
