It's pretty sad in Malaysia where I grew up. There wasn't much funding for shelters right up to the late 90s and early 2000s. Dogs were often kept in cramped spaces in "shelters" that resembled small pounds and they were often euthanised when there wasn't enough space or resources to keep them. Recently, however thanks to support form local politicians, the number of no-kill shelters has increased significantly and aided by Buddhist and Christian organizations, several very modern and comfortable shelters for dogs and other animals were built in recent years.
These groups of animal-lovers had done a lot of good work collecting money for charity and holding charity events to promote their cause and to get the message across to the public, that animals deserve to be treated with dignity too.
