ALOR SETAR: An animal shelter that was at risk of closing down has been saved by a Muslim preacher who helped it secure a new location in less than 24 hours.
The Pak Mie Animal Shelter, which has 220 dogs and 120 cats, will now have a new home in Tokai, Simpang Empat, near here, complete with facilities for people interested in adopting the animals.
Preacher Ebit Lew, 36, visited the shelter on Wednesday after learning that it was to be relocated to a temporary site on Sunday and sought to help it find a permanent home.
