Following earlier efforts in launching a fundraising campaign to reconstruct the animal shelter destroyed by flash foods together with a series of voluntary works such as bathing and vaccinating puppies for adoption drive, APU students and lecturers have joined hands this time to paint a mural for the centre.

Supported by the School of Media, Arts and Design (SoMAD), the 2-day activity saw members of APU’s Student Affairs Department, lecturers and students working hand-in-hand to create a mural of cartoon-like animals on a large 2x8 metres wall. Prior to that, members of the Student Affairs raised RM1,350 to purchase paints and tools needed for the mural as well as food for the animals.
