A voice for the voiceless, Aileen Lee, better known as Aunty Aileen, is a beaming light in the local animal welfare community. She may be over sixty years old but the fire within her still burns bright when it comes to helping animals
in need. As the lead of My Pets Haven, Aunty Aileen is at the forefront of its shelter and rescue services. Whether it's taking in stray cats or treating sickly dogs, she puts her very own wellbeing on the line to make sure these
animals are taken care of. “I wish people would be more open to knowing that these stray dogs deserve a second chance at life,” expresses Aunty Aileen. “Don’t just look at them as dirty and a waste.”
From sun up to sun down,
she puts herself to work cleaning crates, taking in abandoned animals, walking dogs, cooking dog and cat food, bringing animals to the vet when needed, washing up after potty times, and coordinating volunteers—that’s just scratching
the surface. As a result of her physically laborious and time consuming schedule, the local hero barely has any time for herself to eat, sleep, or play. Yet, she continues to find the work she does fulfilling every single day.
