Share Some Love, Rent a Hope

又到星期六了！大家已经想好今天要做什么了吗？

如果你喜欢狗狗，不妨在今天下午3点至6点期间到One Utama的Central Park Avenue去参与SPCA筹办的Rent for Hope活动。

 这项活动除了让有兴趣养狗狗的朋友在下重要决定前可以一尝养狗的感觉，也是为了修建全新面貌的ECO SPCA Centre而举办的醒觉和筹款活动。

活动日期：3-8-2013

活动时间：3pm - 6pm

活动地点：Central Park Avenue, One Utama

活动费用和详情：RM20的捐款可以让你享受20分钟的遛狗乐趣。 

去年也办过相同的活动。有时间有喜欢的狗狗请多多响应这有意义的活动！

个人觉得这个活动很有意义，除了可以帮SPCA筹款以便建造更好的收留中心给日益增加的流浪猫狗，也是一个可以让想养宠物却不确定自己是否能胜任的人能够更进一步的了解自己是否有照顾狗狗的恒心和意愿。毕竟你可以选择要养或不养，但是狗狗跟了你就可能是一辈子的事情了。养宠物前真的要三思啊！千万不要因为一时的念头养了，却在兴趣减淡后抛弃宠物！

With a donation of RM20, you can walk or play with a dog in the park for 20 minutes. This is one of the first to embark from a series of adoption drive that will help SPCA to rehome about 130 dogs and 60 cats in order for the renovation and construction of a brand new ECO SPCA Centre, which will kick start in 30 days from now.
Rent for Hope give everyone an opportunity to understand and get to know the dogs before adopting and potential “parents” will be able to see and play with the dogs and see if they are ready to adopt the dogs. SPCA and their volunteers will be around to guide and advise potential adopters who wishes to adopt any of the dogs. You can speak to any SPCA staff and volunteers to see if you are ready to be a “parents” and what is required to be a responsible pet owner or you can just get to know the dogs, bring them for a walk – you never know, you might be walking away with a companion of your lifetime, a furry friend for yourself.
