MALACCA: There is a surge in the number of dogs being abandoned at the Semambok canine shelter here following new rules for dog owners imposed by the Malacca Historical City Council (MBMB) and the Hang Tuah Jaya Municipal Council (MPHTJ) here.

Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) Malacca chairman Vincent Low said dog owners are finding it convenient to just hand over their pets to them because of the restrictions imposed by the councils.
