KL Pooch Resort & Rescue has been committed to helping animals in need since 2011. But as is often the case with those in the animal rescue industry, keeping an organisation like this running requires fundraising. Shannon Lam, the founder of KL Pooch Resort & Rescue joins us to discuss the work the organisation does, and also to highlight their upcoming MMA Masterclass fundraiser event, which features UFC Featherweight Champion Cris "Cyborg" Justino.
