"The dogs were impounded in a small and dirty cage with no water and food, their skin suffered from dermatitis, and the stink was full in the house," recalled by Joyce Lee, the director of Abandoned Animals Protect Association of Macau (AAPAM).

Lee recalled the case, "Mrs. Chiu was suffered from a mental disease for two months and she is living alone, she owned three dogs at home and they were lacking care due to the disease of Mrs. Chiu." Lee continued, "We received a call from her neighbor and hurried to save the dogs."

According to volunteer helpers at AAPAM, it was in fact one of the many cases they met in the reality which ordinary people would never have imagined.

AAPAM is a non-profit, non-subsidized private organization established in October of 2004 and aims to protect homeless abandoned animals usually found on streets.

"Working toward the aim of animal's right to subsist, we promise to help and look after them till their ends," said Kaka Chou, one of the volunteer helpers at AAPAM.

"All of the animals are in here because they were abandoned by their owners. Some owners even came here and decided to forsake their pets," Chou mentioned.
