outreach in the Shanghai community, International

Schools supporting the group and in return we are

coming year 2012!

Thank you again to everyone’s support. Please keep

spreading the word about us!

I want to wish you all a Happy Christmas and all the

very best for the coming New Year 2012!

What does it cost to adopt an animal from JAR?

One of the most common questions we are

asked is "How much does it cost to adopt an

animal from JAR?"

Our response is this:

There is no fixed price on any animal that is up

for adoption. It is up to the discretion of the

adopter if they would like to make a donation.

However, with the growing increase of rescued

animals and expenses an amount of at least

300 RMB given to the group when adopting an

animal from us is greatly appreciated.

Please note that JAR is a non-profit animal

rescue group. We rely on donations from kind

hearted individuals which are then in turn used

for food, vaccinations, grooming, de-worming,

defleaing, de-sexing, and transportation.

Your understanding and support is much

appreciated by the group and the animals.

Documentary films about sad animals

DOCUMENTARY films about animal welfare are receiving attention

these days in China, which has no animal protection laws.

A number of short films exposing cruelty toward animals, such as

elephants and pigs, and depicting the sad lives of stray dogs and

cats have been screened publicly for a month online. They

appeared on the website of the First Chinese Documentary Film

Awards established by iSun TV that based in Hong Kong.

Around 200 short films of all types were screened and received votes

by Internet users.

The films about animals aim to raise public awareness of animal

welfare and of man’s relationship with animals and the natural

environment. They aren’t very polished but they are effective.

Though none of them received an award, they got a lot of votes

from the public. click here for the whole Shanghai Daily article

Help the Sichuan dogs

JAR’S members are trying to raise

more funds, collect blankets, stock

up on food for the dogs that were

rescued in Sichuan. We have

provided donations the last few

weeks but as winter nears, the

dogs are in need of more blankets,

beds and food. We are also taking

in donations, which will then be

used to place food stock orders

with You Mao (Online Ordering for

Pets) who are affiliated with JAR.

Please retain and gather any old

blankets/towels/sheets and/or

donate funds over to purchase

food for the 1000 dogs so we can

help the 2 rescue groups who are

compassionately & tirelessly

looking after the dogs.

They need our help & assistance.

Saving Porker

Porker was rescued at the weekend. The rescue

came to light when our boss informed us whilst in

the taxi, she saw Porker stuck in a cage! The cage

was the same size as him! No room to move

around, no water or food contained in his crate!

Cruel…just cruel!

We negotiated with the owner to have the pig

released for free as they wanted 800 RMB for it! In

the end, we ended up paying 400 RMB….

We asked around, called people, emailed in

hopes he can go to a farm and roam free! Luckily

enough, I was ecstatic to have the pig picked up

(thanks to Buddy Dog) and will be moving to his

permanent home at the Bio Tech Farm (thanks to

the owner owing a favor to JAR!).

JAR at Concordia Bazaar

We participated at the CONCORDIA Bazaar and

raised more awareness to the faculty staff and

passers by!

Thank you to our ongoing supporters, Chris L for

providing and donating a table to JAR and of

course our volunteers!

JAR at German School Christmas Bazaar

JAR was asked to participate and our kind senior

volunteers helped out and set up the table

beautifully!

We managed to raise 2410 RMB and raised further

awareness of what we do!

Well done and thank you for your support!

Five kittens

Five adorable kittens are looking for a home. Two

calico, two ginger and one spunky gray and white

one. They should make wonderful pets, as they were

with their mother up until two days ago and are no

getting used to indoor living and spoon feeding. They

are eating well and beginning to become playful now

that they are feeling at home.

If you are looking for a warm, fuzzy creature to help

keep you warm this winter, look no further than these

little furry friends.

Please email us: shanghaidogs@gmail.com if you are

interested!

Thank you for your support!

Chairman Meow!

We are looking for a caring home for a wonderful, formerly

abandoned kitten. I rescued her about 4 months ago and

she’s quite healthy after visits to the Vet and a steady diet.

She likes to play and eat and sleep and doesn’t ask for

much.

Can you provide Chairman Meow a permanent home?

Page 7 December 2011 ● Issue 13 ● Jaiya’s Animal Rescue ● Editors: Marvin, Josephine, Gwen

We received queries for the following animals

looking for a new home.

Can you help? Please contact us shanghaidogs@gmail.com

Two puppies need your help!

I found Sasha and Billy in Lujiazui being sold by a criminal

woman. I identified immediately that they had been

mistreated and the markings to create a tiger appearance is

simply animal cruelty. They were being shoved inside a

bucket and handled very roughly. I had to do something. I

never would have forgiven myself. I certainly do not

condone her trade but I bought the puppies in the hope of

giving them a second chance. After rugging them up, I

raced them to the vet - sadly, the prognosis was grim. They

told me, they have been separated from their Mum far too

young and do not know how to feed themselves and

ultimately will die of starvation. I bought some special

formulated milk and I feed through a syringe. They are

responding really well now and making progress by the hour.

My daughters sing them lullabies, making the pups feel safe

and secure – It works too!! They were tested for many canine

viruses and thankfully all were clear.

The pups need to find a very loving home – I’m hoping

together as they make such a great team!

Meet Lotte

Lotte is around 2 years old and was rescued from the

streets. She has been vaccinated and dewormed.

She is a very kind, friendly and affectionate dog. Her

rescuers already own two dogs and will relocate in

January 2012.

Lotte is currently boarding at the Buddy Dog kennel.

If you are willing to help and adopt and provide her a

loving permanent home, please let us know!

Thank you.

Use of Barbarian Animal Trap in Yanlord Garden

Again!

We are shocked to discover that the use of animal

trap appeared in Yanlord Garden again! One of

the residents’ pet came home crying with a broken

leg and the trap is left on his leg!!! Today we found

another resident’s cat with another broken leg and

went hiding.

This has happened before in the March 2010. The

trap used last time was less hurtful to the animal. This

time, the trap is set to harm and kill!

We have been forced to face this issue every year.

We find it unacceptable that Yanlord Garden

being a highly regarded and respected

international community yet this kind of cruel and

uncivilized behaviour kept occurring on a yearly

basis.

We urge your attention and action to call the

management to stop this immediately as well as to

pass on this information to ALL you know:

1. That the management shall not allow outsiders to

come in to do such thing as these personnel are

unidentifiable and can be harmful to any residents,

2. That the management shall not conduct such

behaviour for the below reasons:

a. the trap is not necessary since there are rodents

pipe and cats in the garden already;

b. the trap is designed to hurt whatever is being

trapped and it is very barbarian and cruel;

c. the trap is dangerous to anyone who

accidentally got trapped to it including kids,

workers working around the garden and pets!

d. before setting any trap for rodents for argument

sake, the management needs to put a warning sign

in the area and the trap need to be safe for pets

and human! This type of trap is intended to catch

larger animals like cats, not rats!

Please help to stop this repetitive, extremely cruel

and harmful to the pets and human in contact trap

ONCE FOR ALL!!

OUR CHALLENGE

Every year thousands of animals are abandoned in China. Just like in many other developing

countries, this situation requires the attention and effort of several parties: government agencies,

NGOs, NPOs and more importantly: YOU!

Imagine how different this situation could be if more people were willing to open their homes to an

abandoned pet, if more animals were vaccinated, neutered and spayed, if more people made

donations, if more people were foster parents, if education on ethical treatment of animals could

reach everybody …

We at JAR have a great task ahead of us, but we cannot do it alone … WE NEED YOUR HELP!!!
