5/27/08: We arrived again at our temporary registration and collection station in Dujiangyiang and found a queue already forming... Sad owners were holding their precious family members one last time before they would have to give them up. What choice do they have?
Already the tented areas where are bursting at the seams...and neighbours just inches away are not always so tolerant of dogs... But dog culling is not the answer and in Dujiangyiang at least we are able to offer a little help and hope for people so clearly fearful for the lives of their pets.
After setting up the veterinary table, our first visitor was a lady holding her two small Pomeranians. Miss Xiao Ru Lan told us their names were Niu Niu (Little Girl) and Fei Fei (Fat Fat)... Incredibly, during the earthquake Niu Niu had run away and hadn’t been seen for 9 days. Miss Xiao finally found her quivering in their damaged apartment...
Here's a pic of a diffrent Niu Niu and Xiao Xiao, all ready for their trip to Chengdu. READ MORE ANIMAL ASIA rescue stories in aftermath of China earthquake:

ANIMALS ASIA EARTHQUAKE RELIEF
The earthquake that devastated parts of Sichuan in the spring of 2008 left many people unable to care for their much loved dogs and cats. Together with local shelters, we are caring for as many of these animals as possible until their owners are ready to reclaim them. The earthquake also badly damaged four buildings at our Moon Bear Rescue Centre in Chengdu. These will need to be rebuilt at great cost. Please give generously so we can help repair the devastation of the earthquake.
