This handsome and faithful dude you see here is 15 years old “Daddy”. For the past 5 years, Daddy has been a permanent resident at Animal Lovers League (ALL), a registered charity and no-kill animal shelter.

He belonged to a group of dogs in the thickened area in Sungei Tengah. For years, ALL helped treat the dogs in that area whenever they received feedback of any injury from their feeders and volunteers.

Sadly, one day, the other dogs ganged up on Daddy and left him totally ripped and helpless in a drain.

After more than a week at the vet, ALL took him into their shelter where he slowly recovered and adjusted to his new surroundings and could once again soak up the sun and watch the world go by without having to fend for himself. He made friends as he gracefully aged.

However, in 2018, Animal Lovers League, along with many other shelters were relocated to a purpose-built facility at Sungei Tengah. Gone were the days of a large open field where the shelter dogs had the luxury of running around freely.  

Caged up with only a limited amount of exercise each day, Daddy gradually lost his ability to use his hind legs. Now, he moves around in a doggy wheelchair using only his front legs.

Daddy is one of many heartbreaking stories in Animal Lovers League.
