Furrykids Safehaven

Furrykids Safehaven is a non-profit organisation that focuses on providing a better life for all strays in Seremban.

Over the years, they have rescued and taken care of 1,800 dogs on their premises. The local government authorities approached the organisation for help with the reallocation of dogs caught by contracted dog catchers. During that time, the stray population was getting out of control and the authorities agreed to provide land and shelter built with the help of sponsors which sadly not all have materialised.

The NGO is fully dependent on donations from the public to maintain the upkeep of rescued strays and is very much focused on neutering the strays on the streets.
