This is Nabiya, she's now 11. She was about 6 when I adopted her. This is our first day together and before she had had a bath and eventually groomed. She's here with me in Malaysia.
Dog abandonment is a huge issue in South Korea and Malaysia (as well as other South East Asian countries). There have been a number of success stories in Korea with dogs being adopted by Americans and Canadians and funds raised for them to be flown out.
That doesn't happen so much here in Malaysia. There's a much bigger problem with street dogs here with terrible skin conditions as well as injuries and if the local city councils round them up and capture them ... well, let's just say it's not pretty. Nor is it humane. Lots of street cats here as well. Dogs are popular with the Chinese and Indians and cats are popular with the Malays. Cats don't tend to be speyed/neutered so the cat population is is crazy.
It's a serious problem with little to no financial support from the government.
