PET MEMORIAL FOR YOUR BELOVED PETS

A pet is a part of the family. The loss of a pet is like losing a child or a family member. There are so many memories of the departed pet and it takes time to grief. SPCA Penang is introducing a pet memorial webpage to help pet owner to share the grief and loss. For a token of RM300, you can have your pet memorial be put up for a year. The memorial will include a photo (size = height of 200 X width of 220) with a message not exceeding 40 words. Take a look at the pet memorial page. The token of contribution will form part of the fund for supporting the animal shelter. Call SPCA now for details.

We are glad to announce that Doggie Pawlor will give 50% discount on basic to full grooming package price for the dogs adopted from SPCA for their first visit at Doggie Pawlor. In addition, they have also pledged to give 25% of this 50% discount as donation back to SPCA for each adopted dog from SPCA.
