2 JAR Pets of the Month: Mimi & Xiao Ya Mimi (top) and Xiao Ya (bottom) Mimi (female cat) DOB: 2009 Mimi has a very sweet nature, loves attention and lots of stroking. She has adapted well to indoor living and does like company and attention. She loves to sit next to you on the sofa or lie at your feet. Mimi enjoys playing with toys and is full of fun. Xiao Ya (female dog) DOB: October 2008 Xiao Ya was taken home by the rescuers when eating at a restaurant. She must have been abandoned. Xiao Ya is an independent dog, however she loves people as she shows a lot of affection by licking people when being held! Can you provide a forever loving home to Mimi or Xiao Ya? Other pets that urgently need a home include: Rain (dog) Thomas (cat) Xiao Bai (dog) Chai (cat) QiuQiu (dog) Danny (cat) Adopt a dog or cat!! What does it cost to adopt an animal from JAR? One of the most common questions we are asked is "How much does it cost to adopt an animal from JAR?" Our response is this: There is no fixed price on any animal that is up for adoption. It is up to the discretion of the adopter if they would like to make a donation. However, with the growing increase of rescued animals and expenses an amount of at least 300 RMB given to the group when adopting an animal from us is greatly appreciated. Please note that JAR is a non-profit animal rescue group. We rely on donations from kind hearted individuals which are then in turn used for food, vaccinations, grooming, de-worming, defleaing, de-sexing, and transportation. Your understanding and support is much appreciated by the group and the animals. Page 2

4 Documentary films about sad animals DOCUMENTARY films about animal welfare are receiving attention these days in China, which has no animal protection laws. A number of short films exposing cruelty toward animals, such as elephants and pigs, and depicting the sad lives of stray dogs and cats have been screened publicly for a month online. They appeared on the website of the First Chinese Documentary Film Awards established by isun TV that based in Hong Kong. Around 200 short films of all types were screened and received votes by Internet users. The films about animals aim to raise public awareness of animal welfare and of man s relationship with animals and the natural environment. They aren t very polished but they are effective. Though none of them received an award, they got a lot of votes from the public. click here for the whole Shanghai Daily article Adoptable Pets and their Stories Xiao Hei Mao Mao Help the Sichuan dogs JAR S members are trying to raise more funds, collect blankets, stock up on food for the dogs that were rescued in Sichuan. We have provided donations the last few weeks but as winter nears, the dogs are in need of more blankets, beds and food. We are also taking in donations, which will then be used to place food stock orders with You Mao (Online Ordering for Pets) who are affiliated with JAR. Please retain and gather any old blankets/towels/sheets and/or donate funds over to purchase food for the 1000 dogs so we can help the 2 rescue groups who are compassionately & tirelessly looking after the dogs.

6 Saving Porker Porker was rescued at the weekend. The rescue came to light when our boss informed us whilst in the taxi, she saw Porker stuck in a cage! The cage was the same size as him! No room to move around, no water or food contained in his crate! Cruel just cruel! We negotiated with the owner to have the pig released for free as they wanted 800 RMB for it! In the end, we ended up paying 400 RMB. We asked around, called people, ed in hopes he can go to a farm and roam free! Luckily enough, I was ecstatic to have the pig picked up (thanks to Buddy Dog) and will be moving to his permanent home at the Bio Tech Farm (thanks to the owner owing a favor to JAR!). Sunday 8 th January :00 am to 3:00 pm Event Venue: Papas Bierstube Hongmei Lu 3338, Hongmei Pedestrian Street near Yan an Xi Lu 虹梅路 3338 弄, 虹梅休闲街 号近延安西路 JAR at Concordia Bazaar We participated at the CONCORDIA Bazaar and raised more awareness to the faculty staff and passers by!

7 We received queries for the following animals looking for a new home. Can you help? Please contact us shanghaidogs@gmail.com Chairman Meow! We are looking for a caring home for a wonderful, formerly abandoned kitten. I rescued her about 4 months ago and she s quite healthy after visits to the Vet and a steady diet. She likes to play and eat and sleep and doesn t ask for much. Can you provide Chairman Meow a permanent home? Five kittens Five adorable kittens are looking for a home. Two calico, two ginger and one spunky gray and white one. They should make wonderful pets, as they were with their mother up until two days ago and are no getting used to indoor living and spoon feeding. They are eating well and beginning to become playful now that they are feeling at home. If you are looking for a warm, fuzzy creature to help keep you warm this winter, look no further than these little furry friends. Please us: shanghaidogs@gmail.com if you are interested! Thank you for your support! Two puppies need your help! I found Sasha and Billy in Lujiazui being sold by a criminal woman. I identified immediately that they had been mistreated and the markings to create a tiger appearance is simply animal cruelty. They were being shoved inside a bucket and handled very roughly. I had to do something. I never would have forgiven myself. I certainly do not condone her trade but I bought the puppies in the hope of giving them a second chance. After rugging them up, I raced them to the vet - sadly, the prognosis was grim. They told me, they have been separated from their Mum far too young and do not know how to feed themselves and ultimately will die of starvation. I bought some special formulated milk and I feed through a syringe. They are responding really well now and making progress by the hour. My daughters sing them lullabies, making the pups feel safe and secure It works too!! They were tested for many canine viruses and thankfully all were clear. The pups need to find a very loving home I m hoping together as they make such a great team! Meet Lotte Lotte is around 2 years old and was rescued from the streets. She has been vaccinated and dewormed. She is a very kind, friendly and affectionate dog. Her rescuers already own two dogs and will relocate in January Lotte is currently boarding at the Buddy Dog kennel. If you are willing to help and adopt and provide her a loving permanent home, please let us know! Thank you. Page 7

8 Use of Barbarian Animal Trap in Yanlord Garden Again! We are shocked to discover that the use of animal trap appeared in Yanlord Garden again! One of the residents pet came home crying with a broken leg and the trap is left on his leg!!! Today we found another resident s cat with another broken leg and went hiding. This has happened before in the March The trap used last time was less hurtful to the animal. This time, the trap is set to harm and kill! We have been forced to face this issue every year. We find it unacceptable that Yanlord Garden being a highly regarded and respected international community yet this kind of cruel and uncivilized behaviour kept occurring on a yearly basis. We urge your attention and action to call the management to stop this immediately as well as to pass on this information to ALL you know: 1. That the management shall not allow outsiders to come in to do such thing as these personnel are unidentifiable and can be harmful to any residents, 2. That the management shall not conduct such behaviour for the below reasons: a. the trap is not necessary since there are rodents pipe and cats in the garden already; b. the trap is designed to hurt whatever is being trapped and it is very barbarian and cruel; c. the trap is dangerous to anyone who accidentally got trapped to it including kids, workers working around the garden and pets! d. before setting any trap for rodents for argument sake, the management needs to put a warning sign in the area and the trap need to be safe for pets and human! This type of trap is intended to catch larger animals like cats, not rats! Please help to stop this repetitive, extremely cruel and harmful to the pets and human in contact trap ONCE FOR ALL!!

10 OUR CHALLENGE Every year thousands of animals are abandoned in China. Just like in many other developing countries, this situation requires the attention and effort of several parties: government agencies, NGOs, NPOs and more importantly: YOU! Imagine how different this situation could be if more people were willing to open their homes to an abandoned pet, if more animals were vaccinated, neutered and spayed, if more people made donations, if more people were foster parents, if education on ethical treatment of animals could reach everybody We at JAR have a great task ahead of us, but we cannot do it alone WE NEED YOUR HELP!!!
