SANDAKAN: The Sandakan Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA Sandakan) is facing an unprecedented crisis as its shelter reaches breaking point with over 800 dogs in desperate need of care. The non-profit organisation, which operates solely on public donations, is now launching an ambitious 12 month sterilisation programme and urgently appealing for financial and material assistance. Since its founding in 2012, SPCA Sandakan has been a refuge for stray and abandoned dogs, stepping in to provide humane care after the local council ended its controversial shoot-to-kill policy. However, the shelter's capacity has been pushed to the limit, what was once a manageable population of 350 dogs has now exploded to 828, with new arrivals coming in daily.
