The Independent Pet Rescuers (IPR) believes dogs and cats have their own personalities, too. The organisation plays match-maker to ensure possible pet owners truly understand the responsibility they are taking on while also giving deserted animals a second chance for love. Its founder, Sherrina Krishnan, 40, said match-making principles were applied between pets and potential adopters. "I believe in profiling and understanding what potential adopters want and need from a pet. We have to understand their lifestyles to match a pet with the right temperament."IPR volunteers make every effort to ensure the pet adopted complements the new owner's life and not turn it disordered.
With such a thoughtful approach to both humans and animals, Sherrina said many adopters had since become volunteers at IPR, helping to salvage and foster homeless animals, either temporarily or permanently. One active unpaid helper is Catherine Leyow, 49, of Sungai Buloh, head teacher at an international school in Kuala Lumpur. "It's heartbreaking to see a developed country like Malaysia disregard animals the way we do. "Running IPR mainly using her own funds and also from various donation and fund-raising activities, Sherrina said the organisation does not charge for adoptions. She said it was IPR's goal to find more homes for rescued animals, keeping with their philosophy, "Making a Difference, One Stray at a Time". Apart from conducting a regular "Open Space Adoption" drive at a site near Subang Airport, she said: "We constantly have to look at new ways to do adoptions. If it fails, it fails. If it doesn’t, more animals would be in good homes. "Nothing in life is a sure bet, especially animal welfare in Malaysia. It is buoyancy that will take us into the future of change.
