It was so scary each time the new humans came to look at us. I closed my eyes and tried to look very very small so that they won’t want me – I don’t want to leave my ‘kor-kor’. One time, these two humans came and I could see that they wanted me. They looked like nice people, and they touched me so gently, it tickled! I liked them… but I cried when they took me from ‘kor-kor’… I don’t know where mama is, but I know my ‘kor-kor’ will look after me. I’m so happy that we’re at this nice place – no new humans try to take me away anymore. – Smallest
I remember my mama telling me that I have to be a brave boy and look after my brothers and sisters, especially my smallest ‘mei-mei’. My ‘mei-mei’ doesn’t want to go away with any of the humans without me, so I won’t let them take her… unless I can follow to protect her. Smallest is so silly and scared of the humans, even though I tell her that not all of them are mean. I have to show her by playing with them first. I guess I better look after her, since I am her ‘kor-kor’. So look out! I’m a good boy, but if you bully my sister I’ll bite! Ruff! Ruff! – Sunny
sunnyThe search for a home (and hearts) big enough for both Sunny and
Smallest has not been easy. Found in an industrial estate, Sunny &
Smallest survived heavy-vehicles, malnutrition, flea infestation and a
bout of parvovirus that killed three of their eight siblings. Rescued by
the ASD and kindly fostered as a pack, Sunny and Smallest witnessed the disappearance of their siblings one by one. Our hearts ached for them each time they went through the same confusion, bewilderment and fear as their siblings were taken away
to be re-homed. Unfortunately, we can only hope to let our hearts and actions convey what language can’t – that the rest of their bothers and sisters are in good hands, and that
they too, would eventually find a home.
smallestAs the numbers of their pack dwindled, the bond between Sunny and Smallest deepened. Any attempt to separate brother and sister results in frantic whining and barking the moment either of them disappears from the other’s sight. Depending on confident and people-friendly Sunny for protection, Smallest steps forward only when Sunny reacts favourably to a person. In turn, Sunny takes his role of protector and guardian seriously, ensuring that Smallest isn’t bullied or frightened by the humans around them. The kinship and
devotion between these two are clearly visible to the naked eye. Until the time comes when the right people can see what wonderful members of the family Sunny and Smallest will make, we appeal for your help to keep them together where they currently are.
Sunny and Smallest are currently being housed at NANAS in JB Malaysia, this of course makes viewing them very difficult. But if you can find it in your heart to sponsor Sunny and Smallest or either one of them, you will get regular updates as to their well being.
