Fund-Raising Event: Pawse for A Cause

Hey, everyone!

This is one important event that I would really like to share with all of you, and I sincerely hope that you'll make some time to read this. It’s one that depicts love, generousity, and selflessness for animals.

The Pound Bar in TTDI recently held a charity drive as part of a birthday celebration for, Seema Subash, a friend of theirs. This was a special celebration unlike any other.. Seema is a through and through animal lover who decided to share her special day by giving back to animals.

In collaboration with The Pound Bar, Pawse for A Cause was carefully organised bringing together people who care about Animal Rights and Welfare.

Everyone had to bring a gift – not for the birthday girl, though. Instead, the gifts were specifically for animals, to be donated to them.

Some of the gifts to be donated. Thank you, kind donors!!

On top of that, the guests were encouraged to bring along their small- to medium-size furbabies!

Look at all the happy faces! So much love and joy! :D

Can you guess which one is the mascot? ;)

Doggy overload and so much love to go around for and from them!

Spot the mascot with her dashing co-owner! :)

It was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G to have and play with so many beautiful dogs that evening. You rock, The Pound Bar!

2 animal welfare organisations were selected as the recipients of proceeds from the event: 

The first is Cherishlife Home. They rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome dogs. They also educate the public on the importance of animal welfare and spearhead their TNR (Trap, Neuter, Release) programme.

The second is Dog House PJ. They rescue, foster, and rehome abandoned dogs, and focus on giving them a second chance with new families.

To make the celebration more fun-filled, there was a brilliant line up of live performances by some of our seriously talented local artistes. Thank you, kind Sirs!! You guys left me in awe.

We also had the pleasure of having 2 established deejays spin catchy dance music throughout. Wicked music, gentlemen!! You made me dance again, and I enjoyed every bit of it!

Also supporting the cause was Thanuja Ananthan (Miss World Malaysia 09/10, International Model, TV Host, Actress, and Animal Ambassador - PETA). She has a genuine love for animals, is very talented, beautiful, and VERY tall!

I’d like to thank The Pound Bar for giving me the opportunity to emcee this wonderful event!

That's me on stage with my biggest fans right in front!

Aunty Winnie from Cherishlife Home took the stage to briefly explain what the home is about and what they do to help rescued animals. Thank you, Aunty Winnie, for helping us understand better about the shelter, and how so many animals out there need our help. It’s very sad how some of these animals were mistreated and abused by their owners. :’(

This is Aunty Winnie. She's such a lovely and caring lady!

The Pound Bar managed to raise.. *drumroll, please*.. over RM 1000 in cash and RM 6000 in dog supplies (food, medication, pet supplies etc.)!! WELL DONE!!!

All in all, it was a very successful and memorable charity drive. What really touched me was that there were so many people who came to support the cause and made generous donations - all for the love of animals. Thank you to each and every one of you who supported the cause!

A little goes a very long way, and animals need our love and care too. Together, we can all make a significant difference.

The very act of supporting this cause, helping to organise, and hosting it puts The Pound Bar at the top of my list for must-visit pub/restaurant!

Do check them out, and let them know that Lil' Missy sent you their way with hugs and kisses. xoxo
