PENANG ANIMAL WELFARE SOCIETY ( 4PAWS )

On behalf of the Board and volunteers of Penang Animal Welfare Society (4Paws), we write

to seek your support for a critical and time-sensitive initiative to secure a permanent home

for the animals under our care.

For over fifteen years, 4Paws has been dedicated to rescuing, rehabilitating, and caring for

abandoned and vulnerable dogs across Penang and neighbouring areas. Today, we provide

shelter, food, and medical care for more than 700 rescued dogs, relying almost entirely on

public donations and volunteer efforts.

We are currently facing an urgent challenge. The land on which our existing shelter operates

is no longer secure, and we must relocate to ensure continuity of care for the animals. We

have identified a nearby two-acre parcel of land, which would provide a safer and more

sustainable environment for the dogs. Following negotiations, the landowner has agreed to a

reduced purchase price of RM1.2 million, with an eight-month timeline for completion.

Beyond securing the land, additional funding will be needed to construct necessary facilities

including dog and puppy enclosures, staff quarters, and basic infrastructure such as

electricity and water — to ensure proper care for the animals.

Securing this land is crucial. It will not only provide long-term stability for the shelter, but also

allow us to improve conditions, expand capacity responsibly, and continue our rescue and

rehabilitation work without disruption.

We would be deeply grateful if your organisation would consider supporting this effort

through your Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives, whether by way of:

 Financial contributions towards the land acquisition and relocation costs;

 Sponsorship or matching grant programmes; or

 Partnership opportunities to support ongoing operational needs such as food,

veterinary care, and infrastructure.

As a registered organisation under the Registrar of Societies (ROS), 4Paws is eligible for

tax-exempt donations, and we are committed to maintaining transparency and accountability

in all financial matters. We would be pleased to provide the necessary documentation,

reports, or engagement opportunities to align with your organisation’s CSR requirements.

We believe that animal welfare is an integral part of building a compassionate and

responsible community. Your support would not only help secure a safe future for over 700

animals, but also contribute to a broader effort to promote humane values and responsible

care within society.

We would welcome the opportunity to meet with you or your team to further discuss how we

can collaborate in a meaningful and impactful way.Thank you for your time and consideration. We sincerely hope that you will join us in this

important mission.
