There are many shelters in Malaysia, but KL Pooch Resort and Rescue (KLPR) is a bit different. Established in 2011 on a 3-acre (1.2ha) plot in Kalumpang, Hulu Selangor, Selangor, it is a registered charity that generates 80% of its own income.

Shannon Lam, founder and CEO of KLPR, also runs a boarding facility and dog resort for pampered pet pooches and a small venture making high quality, luxury raw food for dogs.
