WHAT IS Quǎn CARES AND WHY
Hi Pawrents and friends,
My name is Zera, and I’m one of the Chief Tasting Officers of Quǎn Dog Treats. I am a foundling toy poodle, and came to my new family (and job!) after being picked up on the street, where I had been living for goodness knows how long!
On 31 March 2022, my new parents found me wandering around Bukit Jelutong. My hair was long, dirty and matted, my nails were like talons, and I was a mess. I was not neutered and it was possible I had been used for breeding. I couldn’t tell them, but the doctors thought so. You can see a photo below of me when I was found. I had no collar, and no microchip. We could not find my family.
I was lured off the busy road using Pork Slices with Oregano, which I devoured (it remains my favourite treat to this day! I never say no) and it was the most delicious thing I’d eaten!
I was very malnourished at only 3.4kg, had bad cataracts in both eyes, and skin problems. We later found out that I had heartworm, a uterus infection, and tumours. It is a lot for a little pup to handle! The vet could only say that I was between 5-7 years old then – I can’t tell either.
But I am a little trooper, and endured 4 major surgeries to remove my uterus and mammary glands, and months of heartworm treatment and rehabilitation. My new family decided to keep me, and I have been with my new family ever since (it must be because I’m so cute! :D ).
I am a picky little eater, and I know what I like (and what tastes delicious) so I was promoted to being one of the Chief Tasting Officers, alongside my 2 other brothers. I taught my new pawrents that little dogs and older dogs have needs too! We cannot handle treats that are too large (it’s too much for us to eat at one go!), or too hard (old and little dogs don’t have very strong teeth and jaws). They made me Duck Neck Chunks so I can enjoy a good Duck Neck chew without overindulging on too much bone, and I said they had to put it in the store so other little pups could enjoy it too. I also love Chicken Feet, so my parents made me chicken feet treats that we could carry around with us, and I said they had to make it for everyone too!
I am one of the lucky ones. My friends on the street aren’t as lucky.
So, we set up the Quǎn Cares initiative to channel funds to animal charities, organizations and trap-neuter-release programs. Pet education is important, as well as humane controlling of stray dogs in our environment.
Quǎn Cares for Woof My Roof
From May 2024, Quǎn Cares is working primarily with Woof My Roof (@woofmyroof), founded by Shan, an independent animal rescuer & feeder. Shan also builds and provides shelters for stray dogs around Klang. We were connected by a generous sponsor who initially purchased treats from us to be sent to treat the stray dogs fed, sheltered & helped by Shan. Shan also shared with us that she occasionally includes meat treats in the feeding bowls of the strays, or gives them treats now and then. She also facilitates Trap-Neuter-Release efforts in her area, on her own dime, and with contributions from well-wishers.
We were inspired by her solo efforts to make a change for the strays in her world, and decided we’d like to extend our help in a sustainable way to both feed/treat the strays, and to assist in fundraising for the long-term. We do not believe in short-term, flash in the pan actions which are not sustainable for the feeders/rescuers.
From May 2024 to May 2025, we made an exclusive product, where for every bag of Chicken Fillets with Parsley sold, we give 1 bag of the same to Woof My Roof to treat the strays she feeds. This initiative was a resounding success, and over the year, we banked over 85kg of treats for her. We send the treats to her periodically, to ensure that she gets them fresh every time, just as your dogs do, and we will continue to do.
In December 2024, we ran a festive campaign where we gave 1 can of food to Woof My Roof for every bottle of festive treats that we sold. The response was heartwarming, and we gave 110 cans of food, which directly goes to filling the bellies of the strays.
From June 2025, after discussion with Shan, the Quǎn Cares initiative is tweaked to cater to her needs. So, we decided that the initiative will now give 1 can of food for every bag sold, and we came up with a brand new treat! Shan feeds up to 80 dogs each time, and uses up to 8 cans of food per feeding session.
Inspired by our bestselling product, and to commemorate our 1 year of support for Woof My Roof, we now have an exclusive product made for Woof My Roof – Chicken Fillets with Oregano. It is pure, lean chicken breast, cleaned, sliced, sprinkled with oregano and dehydrated to be a delicious, fragrant jerky treat that dogs absolutely love.
YOU treat your dog, WE feed the strays
With every bag of Chicken Fillets with Oregano you buy for your dog, we will do our part to:
Give 1 can of food to Woof My Roof, to contribute to her feeding efforts, AND
SEND RM5 from each bag sold directly to Woof My Roof to assist in their shelter & Trap-Neuter-Release efforts.
If you would like to support our cause, but do not have a dog, or your dog is allergic to chicken, or you are overseas, we will respectfully ask that you channel your donations directly to Shan. As an independent feeder & rescuer, she is always in need of funds for medical needs, dog food, spaying, etc.
Chicken Fillets with Oregano for Woof My Roof
Just chicken fillets, dusted with oregano and dehydrated to be a tasty snack for your dogs. With each bag of treats you give your dog, we help fill the bellies of the Woof My Roof Kapar strays.
Together, we hope to be able to help make a positive change and sponsor more neutering of strays.
Thank you for joining us on our journey.
Much love & treatos,
Zera (@zerathefoundling)
We lost Zera on 14 January 2026 but her legacy lives on in our Quǎn Cares initiative.
Note: We will update our contributions on Instagram (@quandogtreats) and a monthly tally will be shared there as well. We tabulate at the end of every month and will channel our contributions to Woof My Roof accordingly.
Note: Chicken Fillets with Oregano are excluded from discounts, promotions & calculation of Rewards Paws. To learn more about Rewards Paws, click here.
