Try calling up MKA. They'll provide you contact of breeders with pups.

Hi, Loong1979! I would strongly discourage you from buying any pet from a pet shop. Why? Pet shops typically buy their kittens and puppies from one of two sources: dealers who bring the animals in from Thailand, or from backyard breeders/puppy mills in Malaysia. The people who breed these animals are concerned only for profit, not for the well-being of the dogs they use for breeding, or for the health of the puppies. They often keep their adult dogs in horrific conditions and breed them at every opportunity. The puppies are often born with inherited health problems that manifest when they get a bit older. Goldens and Labs are especially prone to hip dysplasia, which will cripple them as they reach adulthood. Responsible breeders can screen adults for this disorder and not breed them, but this almost never happens in Malaysia. Greedy breeders will mate any dog who can produce pups to sell.

Please, if you genuinely love animals, do not support pet shops that sell pets. Find an animal shelter or independent rescuer near you. If you are really determined to have a pedigreed dog and are willing to incur the extra problems and expenses that are likely to come along with it, take the time to locate a responsible breeder. Good luck!

Hi again, Loong1979 -- I don't know if this helps you, but I've heard from various people that MAS Kargo will transport pets -- both cats and dogs -- at extremely reasonable rates. It might be something to consider if you see a dog that you're interested to adopt from another part of Peninsular Malaysia.

A shelter on Langkawi, for example, flew 2 cats to KL for under RM20, if I remember correctly. Anyway, good luck.

if that's the cost, it's very affordable. by the way, do they do door to door delivery or i'll have to pick up the pet at certain place? i only hope the shelter is willing to handle the delivery >.<

You'd have to ask MAS Kargo about delivery costs and details, probably all based upon the size and weight of the dog. I rather doubt a rescuer or a shelter would be willing to cover the cost of transport. With all due respect, though, please consider, if you're uncomfortable paying a relatively small fee for transport, will you be able to afford the costs -- food, grooming, vet bills, etc -- of owning a large dog? They're considerable!

My apologies! I misunderstood your concerns. I would guess that individual rescuers or small organisations would be better able to manage shipping the dog. Staff at the bigger shelters may not have the time needed to make the arrangements, get the dog to the airport, etc. Langkawi LASSie, a smaller dog/cat rescue shelter, does ship animals to adopters elsewhere in the peninsula. My advice if you are interested to try: Keep an eye on the adoption listings, and when you see a dog that interests you, give the rescuer a ring and ask if he or she would be willing to work with you on transport. Good luck!
