【Animal News】Many cat and dog farms silently take care of the poor cats and dogs who have been rescued, hoping that they will be happy. However, when the owners encounter difficulties, they are often not themselves, but the fur kids in the farm. Aunt Qi, who has been supporting and running the “Anle Nest Home for Stray Animals” for more than ten years, recently couldn’t bear it anymore and suddenly collapsed and was admitted to the hospital. She even had difficulty walking on her own, but she was most worried about the nearly 50 dogs in the venue. Mrs. Lin, head of the Dolby Animal Care Fund, who assisted Aunt Qi in dealing with this difficulty, said that even if Aunt Qi was discharged from the hospital, she would not be able to continue to take care of the fur kids. Now there are several contingency plans, including finding someone to take over the dog farm, or helping the dog find an adoption family.
Aunt Qi’s dog farm is located in Sha Tau Kok. There are nearly 20 dogs raised by Aunt Qi in the farm, and more than 20 dogs are temporarily cared for by other people. It is known that Auntie Qi has been carrying a lamb recently, but she only took traditional Chinese medicine to support her body. Until mid-August, she suddenly became unable to move and was admitted to the hospital urgently. The condition was so serious that she could not get out of bed and had to be fed. During this period, the dog farm hired an aunt to help take care of the fur kids, and some volunteers who were familiar with Aunt Qi also helped selflessly. When the super typhoon Sula hit Hong Kong, the volunteers also stayed at the dog farm for two days to accompany the dogs Deal with Typhoon Signal No. 10. The Dolby Animal Care Foundation, which has cooperated with Aunt Qi for nearly six years, also took over and followed up, hoping to help Aunt Qi’s dog farm tide over the difficulties.
A volunteer described that even after being admitted to the hospital, Aunt Qi still missed the dogs on the premises, and even tried to pull out her own throat to force her to leave the hospital and return to the kennel, but in the end, Aunt Qi agreed that Dolby Animal Care Foundation and volunteers would resettle the dogs on the premises dog.
Mrs. Lin, the person in charge of the fund, said that Aunt Qi has been relying on her meager pension savings and a small amount of temporary care fee income to maintain the expenses of the venue, and has been unable to make ends meet. The current funds are only enough to operate until the end of September, but even after Aunt Qi is discharged from the hospital, I have difficulty even taking care of myself, and I can’t continue to take care of the furkids, so I can only ask for help, “Aunt Qi most hopes that someone can take over the venue, so that the dogs don’t have to move away, but if there is no way to find someone to take over, I also hope that I can help those dogs find Adopt a family.”
She pointed out that Aunt Qi owns 12 dogs, plus some dogs that poorer volunteers asked for temporary care. There are about 20 dogs in total, all of which need to find a place to house or find a home. In addition, there are more than 20 dogs in the venue who are paid for temporary care. “We have contacted the volunteers. Some said they are looking for a place, and some have arranged to transfer.”
Most of the dogs in the venue are over 7 years old. Among them, two dogs over 15 years old have long-term diseases. One of the dogs has oral melanoma and needs regular electrotherapy, which costs more than 20,000 yuan each time. He has heart disease and is currently taking heart medicine regularly, and his condition is temporarily stable.
If anyone is willing to take over the dog farm, or is willing to adopt the dogs in the farm, please contact Mrs. Lam through the telephone number listed in the report on the Facebook page of this newspaper.
