Nearly 300 shelter dogs may be released on Ipoh streets


Soong says ISPCA has been given until the end of the year to pay the quit rent or it has to move out.

ABOUT 290 dogs at Ipoh Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ISPCA) shelter on Jalan Gopeng could soon find themselves back on the streets.

ISPCA president Ricky Soong said the organisation had been unable to pay the quit rent for five years, which amounted to RM33,170 for the leased land where the shelter is located.
