The Story of Animal Defenders (AD)


Hari ini, Kamis, 8 Mei 2014 aku menyambangi shelter Animal Defenders (AD) yang berlokasi di Depok. Pertama kali mengenal AD adalah ketika kakakku, Fie, bercerita tentang aktivitasnya sebagai volunteer di shelter AD. Dari sana jugalah dia mengadopsi Willy, seekor anjing ras Spanish water dog berwarna hitam yang super duper lucu! Setelah tertunda sekian lama, akhirnya datang juga kesempatan istimewa ini. Dengan ditemani Kak Nopri, kami pun motoran menuju shelter.

Animal Defenders adalah sebuah yayasan yang melindungi hewan (berfokus pada anjing dan kucing) dari kekejaman manusia. Salah satu alasanku begitu ingin mengunjungi shelter adalah keberadaan Rio. Rio dibuang di jalan tol dan diselamatkan oleh AD ketika banyak publikasi tentang dirinya di media sosial. Terima kasih Tuhan, untuk orang-orang baik seperti pasukan AD! :)

First time meeting Rio, and I fell in love for the first sight :') Wait! I've even loved him before I met him!
AD kini memiliki 170 ekor anjing dan belasan eor kucing serta seekor monyet di markasnya. Bukan hanya Rio yang memiliki kisah sedih, tidak sedikit hewan yang diselamatkan AD karena dibuang pemiliknya dalam keadaan kurus kering atau sakit. Ada juga hewan yang nyasar dan hingga saat ini belum diketahui siapa pemiliknya.

Her name is "Astrid" :) She's the most photogenic dog that I've ever met! A beautiful old lady, right?

This is "Daila", a three-legged female dog. Yes, she had her feet amputated after being crashed by a car.

The name is "Dede". So fluffy, so cute!
Say hello to "Jeremy"! 

A male big golden retriever named "Migo" :)
This medium-sized doggy is just soooo active! "Moreno" won't stop jumping around me :)

It's really heartbreaking when I meet "Pino". He's really skinny for a doberman breed :(

She's "Siska", another female golden retriever. Her scar on the head is getting treated by Mas Budi

The name is "Ventor" and he's having a sickness, that's why Mas Obi gave him an injection

Lastly: "Willy"! The man is Kak Nopri, and we can see that Willy can't be separated from him. That's what we called: "a loyal friend"! :) 
He is "Canggu", I'm not allowed to touch him because he got angry easily. This is because the trauma of his past that are often hit with a golf club :(
Another female retriever named "Tera". I think she's the twin of Astrid...

This relaxing old lady is "Yoko" :)



I believe that "Marvin" is actually a handsome dog, wish I could buy him any drugs needed for his skin diseases :(
Sleeping "Juno" :3
Lazy "Cecil", she did nothing but sleep while the others were busy jumping around me :p
Hello "Lemmy", are you the twin of Jeremy? :p *ga nyambung, Lin*
I love this sad expression of Jeremy, oh wait, this is his USUAL expression :D
I don't have any chance to stroke and play with "Mellow" :(
Ketika datang pagi tadi, shelter sedang ditinggal oleh pengurus-pengurusnya, karena hari Minggu besok di Central Park ada upcoming event yang melibatkan AD. The big boss, yang belum pernah aku temui, alias "Om Doni" sedang berada di Jogja mengurus kasus penembakan kucing. Want to know more about Animal Defenders? Silakan buka google.com, type "Animal Defenders Indonesia" and hit "Enter", voila!

Seperti inilah kehidupan sehari-hari di shelter AD...











His name is "Alfredo", seems like his owner was a tukang topeng monyet. Syukurlah dia bebas sekarang :')
