I started volunteering in Johor Bahru close to a year ago, at a shelter that looks after more than 300 stray and abandoned dogs with all sorts of temperaments (from friendly and playful to shy and skittish to even anxious or aggressive ones).

One part of what I do is care for the medical cases: cleaning their wounds, giving them medicine, and making sure the dogs are comfortable as they recover.

I have performed basic grooming for them such as bathing, trimming their fur, clipping their nails, and cleaning their ears.

One of my favourite parts of volunteering is being able to take senior or anxious dogs out on staycations at pet friendly airbnbs. It gives them a quiet day or two away from all the chaos in the shelter as well as all the undivided love and attention!
