Malaysian rescue dog finds new home with Swiss family
A stray puppy rescued by a Malaysian animal welfare organisation has begun a new chapter in Switzerland after being adopted by a local family. Cai Cai's journey from the streets of Malaysia to a Swiss household represents a growing trend of international pet adoptions facilitated by rescue networks.

Cai Cai's story began when the animal was discovered as a stray and taken in by Woof My Roof, a Malaysia-based dog rescue and welfare organisation. The group provided care and rehabilitation for the young dog before facilitating an international adoption.
The puppy has since been welcomed into the home of Melanie Dehnert and her family in Switzerland. The adoption follows an increasing number of successful cross-border placements by regional animal rescue organisations seeking to match dogs with suitable adoptive families.
Woof My Roof operates as part of a broader regional network of animal welfare groups working to address stray dog populations across South and Southeast Asia. The organisation focuses on rescue, care, and rehoming of abandoned animals, with operations spanning multiple countries.
Cai Cai's relocation to Europe marks the successful conclusion of the rescue process that began on Malaysian streets. The case underscores the role played by dedicated animal welfare organisations in improving outcomes for abandoned and vulnerable animals in the region.
