On 5 November 2020, tragedy struck Furrykids Safehaven when a devastating flash flood inundated our shelter in Mambau. Within hours, floodwaters rose to dangerous levels, claiming the lives of 54 dogs and leaving our team heartbroken.

Faced with the reality that the site was no longer safe, we made the difficult but necessary decision to relocate. In a remarkable effort driven by determination and hope, we successfully moved 400 rescued dogs to a new shelter on higher ground in Kuala Sawah on 1 January 2021.

​

What began as a response to disaster has since grown into something extraordinary. Today, Furrykids Safehaven proudly stands on 6.7 acres of land and is home to more than 2,000 rescued dogs. From the darkest chapter in our history emerged a stronger, safer sanctuary where thousands of animals have been given a second chance at life.

Our journey is a testament to resilience, compassion, and the unwavering belief that every life is worth fighting for.
