Kuala Lumpur,
30 April 2008-- Chanelle, A 2-month-old Puppy Became A Canine Heroine By Deeply
Inspiring The Creation Of Malaysia’s First Interactive Pet Adoption Website,
PetFinder.my.
On the fateful day of March 18th, Andy Koh and his friend stumbled across an
injured puppy that met with an accident. Barely able to move, the puppy was
quickly chauffeured to the vet. Diagnosed with a dislocated hind leg, her leg
was bandaged in plaster cast. Together, they carefully nursed her back to health
– but were unable to keep her as a family member was asthmatic.
Andy desperately approached online forums, social networks and friends to seek
adopters. The lucky break came when his buddy Ezer Ratchaga, a veteran in
rescuing puppies, advised him to place classified ads in local newspapers.
Inundated with enquiries, Andy successfully found a perfect match for Chanelle,
a loving family that adored her like a princess.

Inspired by the
joy and success in saving a puppy, Andy and Ezer, both technopreneurs operating
an e-commerce conglomerate EzerNet Sdn. Bhd., teamed up to develop its latest
web property - PetFinder.my, dedicated to helping homeless pets find loving
homes. With the generous assistance of animal rescuers, PetFinder was officially
launched on April 18th to mark the 1-month anniversary of Chanelle’s rescue.
“PetFinder’s primary goals are to better facilitate communications between
rescuers and adopters; to achieve economy of scale by promoting a unified
resource and bringing in targeted audience for the rescuers; and to educate the
public in responsibly managing their pets,” explained Andy. “It has always been
our wish to help the homeless pets and fight for animal rights. We hope
PetFinder can unite the kind-hearted animal lovers out there,” added Ezer.
