Take A Chance on Me

NEWSFLASH

At the time of this posting on October 17, 2008, we are very saddened to report that the 3rd puppy that we didn't manage to catch is gone. The people in that neighbourhood said that last night, 3 China workers caught her. She was heard yelping very loudly.

We had left our names and number with the people nearby but nobody called to let us know when this was happening. There were also 3 very friendly cats. Today even they are gone. Could they have been caught too? We are completely devastated by this discovery. We are too late. Just very glad Shep and Lucky are safe. Now they are even more precious to us. We can never tell them their sister is gone in the most horrific way.

Named Scardy - Poor Scardy (1st picture), she was so scared that she didn’t want to be caught, try as we might. This is the last time the two sisters had dinner together.

SHEP and LADY
~ for adoption to loving permanent homes ~

A litter of three to 2 month old puppies have been discovered at a construction site in the wooded area. The puppies - 1 brown male n 2 black females, when discovered were found to be eating mud and drinking the muddy water from extreme hunger and thirst.

We recently managed to catch 2 of the three and still trying to catch the third one. The last pup needs to be moved as well and quickly too as we have reports of dogs being killed and eaten by foreign workers in that area. We speculate that the puppies' mother could have suffered the same fate.

Originally we thought we had found a home for the male brown pup but when we visited his new premise, it wasn't suitable as it was located by the main road and the front gate does not close. It was dangerous. So now both of them need homes.

They have been vaccinated and slowly adapting to civilisation. We call the male Shep and the female Lady. This is a short description of them :

SHEP (short for Shepherd as he looks like a German Shepherd) is a very friendly and inquisitive little fella. He is so likeable, you just fall in love with him immediately. Always wanting to be the center of attention, he'll be the first to investigate food, people, dogs, cats (which explains why he was the first and easiest to catch). The only boy in the litter, the smallest yet he is our "Braveheart" - size of a pup, heart of a lion. Many times, his bigger sized sisters will hide behind him as if seeking protection and yes, Shep is always there for them. He loves cuddles and pets and if allowed, will put his muzzle on your lap when he takes a nap. His huge pointed ears and sharp features make him uniquely handsome.

LADY as aptly named as she is behaves like one. More cautious than her brother, though bigger in size, she has a lustrous coat of black and rich brown. She looks like a mini rottie or a fat dobbie. We anticipate her to be a good watch dog as she is always watching and if not sure, will let out a low growl. Lady is not as hyper as her brother but certainly looks the faster to be trained as can keep still for longer periods. The seemingly smarter of the two, she lets her brother "check it out" before she ventures into anything.

Is there anyone interested to adopt these two puppies? They do not need to be adopted together although that will be ideal. As these are local breed, regrettably they can only be kept in non-HDB residences.
