Noah’s Ark Fund Raising Dinner

Friday 17 July, we had the opportunity to attend Noah’s Ark maiden fund raising dinner, “An Evening with Friends’. How appropriate we thought as we watched guests, their faces lit with happiness and recognition as they mingled and socialised among friends - friends of the animals who now reside safe and happy in the Sanctuary, friends of the volunteers, friends among like-minded people.

Yes, we were privileged to have been part of that evening as we were first serenaded by a choir of angelic voices to Josh Groban’s song "You raise me up". How fitting the words as we watched a series of photo shots and video clips of dogs, cats, horses, rabbits, monkeys running free, running happy in their ‘wilderness freedom in Noah’s Ark sanctuary in Pekan Nanas. Yes we have been to visit and can attest to the open-ness of that place. No wonder the animals don’t just appear happy, they are, we know because we were when we visited.

The MC for the night Mr. Larry Lai, famous deejay of the 70’s orchestrated the evening with his deep recognisable voice, a flashback of nostalgia. We were shown a video clip of the early days, the beginnings of NANAS and a speech from the Founder, Mr. Raymond Wee, as he again stressed the importance of education and sterilising, favourite subjects he has never veered from.

We were kept entertained the rest of the evening by the maestro of fun, Mr. Vernon Cornelius, lead singer from the Quest, a band highly famed in Singapore and Malaysia in the 60s, with his repertoire of Cliff Richard’s hits. He was a crowd pleaser and songs like “Living Doll” and “The Young Ones” kept us clapping for more as our feet tapped and bodies swayed, as we sang along, many those in the audience the remembering the words.

The cuisine was superb. The dishes came beautifully presented as tiny pieces of art in themselves. Five courses – Aw ! too much, we protested - We left feeling like gluttons!

At the end of the dinner, some guests were reluctant to leave as Vernon Cornelius was still serenading, sigh…

Yes, it certainly was a night to remember, a Night with Friends.

A toast to the organisers and volunteers on a job well done!

Snowy
Remember Snowy, the little white dog with patches of brown rescued from the breeding farm with the beagles. He has recently been adopted by the fosterer who has been looking after him for the last couple of months.

Snowy’s journey, as some of you may remember, has been a very rocky one. How long he was in captivity in the farm, nobody knows. In fact no one at the farm really remembers, nor could they tell us what a cross breed dog was doing in a breeding farm or how he came to stay? He was an after-thought, the forgotten, remembered at the last minute when we were pulling the beagles out. Out of the blues, appeared this lady came with a little scrawny messy looking rug. A rug with big scared eyes and trembling in fear …. “Oh wait, since you guys are into rehoming, there is one more dog we kinda forgot about, you can take him if you want….” They were referring to dear little Snowy.

The first time we met Snowy

Poor Fella, "Take him if you want", and what would have hapened if nobody wanted? What will become of Snowy. But it was in God’s plan that Snowy would be rescued because of the beagles. That His timing was just perfect, if it had not been, Snowy would still have been in that little cage with no name of his own, no freedom and not much food as he was so terribly thin and bad skin condition, irritated red sores and rashes all over his face, body and paws. What he had been feeding on, we dare not imagine as it took him a while to get used to dog food. For all we know he could have died in his cage, forgoteen and unwanted. Poor Snowy.

Snowy, after his first grooming, when he stayed with J and J. Snowy had to be carried everywhere as he was too afraid to walk. His baby steps into family life and rehabilitation was slow but sure with with their love and assurance.

But thank God and His plan for Snowy, through the kindness first of L who sponsored his initial medical bills, J and J who volunteered a home so he can get out of that hell hole and into baby steps of rehabilitation, and then to B and Y who offered fostering to nurture him to full health recovery. Then finally his destiny came in the form of C and family who decided they will offer him a home, a home where he can stay, not as a guest but as a family member, without worrying if it will be for a few months or for a few years but forever.

Snow when he was with B and Y, who nurtured him to full health and Snowy developed muscles and stamina!!

This family had liked him all along but felt that if there was a good home available, they will let him go so they can open their door to other needy dogs who needed fostering. A couple of weeks ago, Snowy went for his neutering operation. He was extremely traumatised and after the operation, strangely as their other dog went through the same procedure and slept soundly through, Snow was whimpering and anxious the whole day and night and too afraid to even sit, much less lie down. He even fell asleep standing with his eyes closed as if afraid of his stitches. The family spent much effort trying to pacify his fears. C's daughter A eventually laid down on the floor the whole night so that she could cuddle Snowy to arrest his fears.

Having gone through such an experience with Snowy, they realise the bond they have with this little chap is far greater than they had thought. They have come to an unanimous decision in the family of five that they can't bear to see him leave. Snowy is devotedly attached to A, had been from day one but now even more so after his ordeal.

Yes Snowy has become integral in their lives and a faithful, loyal friend to A, whom Snowy adores. If she is home, Snowy is always by her side. He will not sleep unless she does and neither will he leave. Such devotion is Snowy’s personality, what a great little dog, what a courageous one. What fighting spirit.

Snowy as he is now with C and family. Happy, assured, confident



From a dog with serious separation anxiety, one who would bark nonstop when left alone, or bark at 2 am every morning for no reason, he no longer displays such malady. He understands when the family need to leave for work or school and will stay quietly with Rusky, his canine brother. He has learnt that absence does not mean forever and out of sight is only temporary. Yes his confidence has been completely restored.

Snowy ‘chopes’ Rusky’s bed, but Rusky does not mind for Snowy shares his food. They are both good friends.

He plays well with Rusky and both dogs have learnt to share, food, bed, toys, affection. Like two siblings they are yin and yang. One is active and playful, the other is quiet and peaceful. They are best of friends, both adding value and joy into this family’s life. As it should be.

Snowy, dear Snowy. Finally home.

This is what 15 year old A had to say about her new family member: "I'm happy that I'm adopting Snowy. He is a very good boy because he listens to me. Recently, I used my allowance to buy a new collar for him but sadly, he bites and chews on it. Think I will have to buy a steel type...heeeheee. There was once when my mom brought him outside of our condo where there were so many people and bicycles and motor bikes that he was so worried. His tail was down as I was not with him as I was buying groceries. As I was walking towards him, I saw the sadness and worries in his face but when I walked nearer to him, he saw me and immediately he was so happy and jumped up onto me. His tail was also up and wagging. Every time when I leave for school I will pat him and say bye to him. He will quitely sit there and give me that pitiful look on his face. Every time when I reach home, he will jump on me and when I bend down to pat him, he will lick me. He is a very cute boy especially at night and in the early part of the morning. I am really happy that I have this opportunity to have Snowy as my darling baby."

Yes, we are too.

Snowy’s start in life may have been rough, but we know his finishing will be a fine one. Thanks to all who have been following Snowy’s journey and giving us your support.

Coco’s story

Devoted Mia Cara For Adoption

Name: Mia Cara
Gender : Sterilised Female
Age : 1 year+
Size : Small sized
Cross Breed
Happy, alert and happy
Excellent with people & kids

Sweet Mia Cara (my dearest Cara) is like a dog you have never met before. She stood by her pups defending them despite the dangers from men who beat her with sticks to rid her of their premises.

Till this day, Cara avoids broomsticks with the bad memories it carries. She stayed when many stray mothers would have abandoned her pups if they are in danger or short of food but not Cara. And when in the Shelter and she could no longer nurse her pups with her milk, she regurgitated her food for them.

Yes, Cara’s story is one that could touch you. All her pups have been happily rehomed. Now is her turn. Her chance at a family as she so deserves having given up everything for her precious pups, she would have sacrificed her life for them too.

If you would like to adopt CARA, pls contact 98383820 or email anaterry@singnet.com.sg

Of Milk and Honey

In the past few months and weeks, we have been inunduated with email messages on litters upon litters of helpless pups looking for homes. Every story is sad and every picture brings tears, they all need help badly. And just when you think you have read the worse, another email comes along with another sad story or even more. Where can we find homes for these helpless innocent ones? What can we do. It isn’t just the babes who need our aid but the grown up dogs too, dogs from the same pack who will never find homes even if we can find potential adopters because the puppies will be more appealing, puppies get adopted first. The poor grown up dogs have no chance because age cannot compete with youth. That is the reality of rehoming.

The picture of loneliness and despair. What a terrible
place for new life to begin. She was given no choice.

These 20 over 'Milk and Honey' pups, recently and unexpectedly found in an industrial area in the West where heavy vehicles ply, is yet another one of those sad story. These are pups from an original of 30 plus when first found. Yes we said 30+. They are from 3 litters from a pack of dogs who have bonded through tough times. As they had no where to go and no factory or building to hide in, these pups were left wandering and some have been crushed by the heavy vehicles. Others starved to death as their skeletal mother had no milk for them. What is left, the 20 plus are the more fortunate ones, the ones the feeder managed to locate and help with make-shift barricade. There are no more female pups, they formed most of the 12 who died.

They sleep in their innocence without realising there is great worry for their future

Amidst the grime and dump they call home, they dream of a rosy future.

The puppies are a mixture of milky cream, mustard to honey brown, lovely sweet colouring and just one to two months old, young and frail. The grown up dogs in this litter are kind and compassionate. When the feeder leaves food, they wait for the pups to eat their fill before venturing to join in, and usually not much is left by that time. How touchingly sad, how sweet their bonding. How heartbreaking to have to walk away because we have no place to relocate them. They all deserve good homes, every single one of them but we are appealing for homes for these pups instead because it would be almost impossible to rehome a grown stray dog, with the terrible high abandonment cases among pedigree nowadays.

Such beautiful pups who will grow to ‘man’s best friend’. Will they ever see that day?

They whine from hunger. This is the only thing they understand now, not knowing that there are far greater things to cry for in the future.

Food of kindness satisfy their immediate hunger but for how long can this go on.

If there is anyone looking for a puppy, please email or call us. We are realistic to know that we will not be able to rehome all but even if one pup can find a good home, we will be happy. The feeder is currently in the midst of sending the grown dogs, except the nursing mothers to be sterilised. The location is in the far West and we anticipate that viewing on-site will be difficult. If there are potential adopters, the feeder will take back one or two pups to have them cleaned up first before the arranged viewing. She will bring them to a proper groomer to have this done. Please understand that it is as hard for us as feeders to pick up a pup for a viewing because it will be even harder for us to place them back if no choice is made. Hard, because emotionally we would have bonded the minute we handled them and kept them for a night. We would be very torn to return the ‘unchosen’ one back to the fold but we need to do this for the young ones - we have to or they will all die. If we can save one, it would be well worth the effort.

Mothers who should be happy and proud during this joyous occasion but alas, another mouth to feed when she is also fighting for her own survival.

This black mother’s pups sadly did not make it. None of her litter survived. She did not have enough milk, her pups were too frail. Her drooping teats are the only testimony she once was a mom. Ironically, would it have been better this way? But kinder for who?

We appeal to you, to understand the ‘limitation of choices' when the feeder shows you one or two pups, we would have done our best to bring to you the cutest we could find. Please remember that pups are pups with the same waggily tail and cheerful, bouncing self. Their personalities will not be determined till they are older and at these young ages of less than 2 months, they are the same four furry legs and a tail. With your love and training, you can develop any puppy to be that kind of dog you want so please, do give these young male pups a chance. It is hard enough for us to make a choice on which would have a chance at a home. Send us an email if you can open the door to happiness for the Milk and Honey pups at anaterry@singnet.com.sg or 9838-3820. ..

Marshmellow, the smooth coat cross terrier
On a late Saturday night, as most families are already tucked into bed and night revellers enjoying their partying, a little black and white dog was doing neither. She was seen running frantically along Loyang Road oblivious to the speeding vehicles looking nervous and confused. Traffic was heavy at that time and very dangerous for the little dog who did not appear street-smart.

A group of NS boys who saw this from afar decided to try and coax it away to safety. Just then, the dog dashed across the road and was hit by an oncoming fast car. As if that was bad enough, with the dog lying on the road, the car behind rolled over it. A double whammy in just split seconds. Both cars did not stop to check the damage. The rescuers managed to stop yet another vehicle, a bus from hitting her further as she was right smack in the middle of the road. She was whimpering in pain and laid unmoving. She was bleeding from cuts on her body and couldn't move her hinds, but she was brought to safety.

We have called her little Marshellow and the vet has since treated her. She had internal injuries and a fracture to the pelvic bone but otherwise she is fine. She stayed at the vet for a couple of days, on drip for further observation. Marshmellow is now discharged and recovering at a Shelter and we are looking for a home for her. She appears to have been abandoned as she has no mircrochip.

Marshmellow is a little Cross Terrier, is black and white and estimated to be around 1 to 2 years old.

Marshmellow smiles at the camera

She is gentle, docile, sweet and mild. Despite her injuries and traumatic accident, she has no aggression and though she is in pain, she does not put up a struggle when her wound is being dressed. She has a great temperament and although a little timid with strangers, we know that given time, she will fit into your home as a family dog.

Will you be able to offer that chance to Marshmellow? It is a mircale that she is alive in a double whammy, will you make that miracle complete with a forever home for her. Marshmellow with her beautiful, loving and sweet eyes will return your love with her loyalty and gentleness.

Please sms 9799-6676 or call after 6 pm or email to winterain14@gmail.com if you wish to view her. Marshie is a small sized dog and is suitable for HDB dwelling.

Roy – further update
Hurray! Roy’s owner have received the report from the vet. Roy’s tumour has been diagnosed as non-threatening. We thank God for this assuring news and that dear Roy has many years of peaceful bliss.

Thank you for all your concern. We have some new photos to share with you from his ‘Papa’.

Quote from papa S “in one of those rare moments where he was chewing on his toy with his few good teeth, i snapped a pic of him. :) you can see clearly the stitches on the side of his body.

and then he fell asleep, head on pillow, belly facing up

What a laugh. Yes Roy is certainly in good hands. Thank you S and K for taking in Roy into your fold.

The More the Merrier … or not quite

The last few days have seen quite a few dogs gathering in our usual feeding place. At one sighting there were 8 new dogs, of varying size and colour, and a young one seen limping. At another sighting a group of 4. Shadow is seen with them sometimes mingling, once leading the pack out and once wandering on his own. He doesn't look like he is with the pack, not quite in but not quite out too, and we speculate he is adopting a wait and see attitude.

We are worried and concerned, especially for Shadow. The bigger the pack or the more dogs sighted in a group will throw a panic among the residents here for dogs in a pack are most often mistaken for a wild pack. We fear that they have become noticeable. All this while, the dogs we are feeding have kept a low profile, preferring to keep behind safe nooks and in the forest, and they do not roam the streets or make themselves conspicious. This explains how they have remained safe, and Blackie was an exceptional leader and strategist knowing instinctively how to hide during the busy day and only coming out during the evenings or at night. Our old pack, the RATSpack would take her lead and in turn led to their survival. But with this new pack and from our observation of their behaviour, clumsy new strays with no survival instinct, they have become obvious and will surely catch the eyes of passersby, thereby endangering not just themselves but our beloved Shadow and our few straggler dogs whom we leave food for but have no names as they do not appear as consistent.

Our dear Alsie will also be affected as she still likes to steal out of her home for her usual gallop and visits to her old friends and our feeder.

We believe these dogs came transported together and dumped. They do not look at all familiar to us nor do they know their way around. They look too clean, too fat and too boisterous for a life in the wild. Yes these poor dogs are newly abandoned and they know next to nothing about survival.

This also means we need to leave more food so that the regular older dogs get enough to eat. Sigh. How much more do we or can we leave? We are already leaving more than they need because of the birds in the hope the dogs are left with some but eight more means a whole lot more food. Our feeders are very stretched but we will do what we can in the best ability.

Poor Shadow looks forlorn. We still see him sometimes alone, sitting in the field. Even with the new arrivals, Shadow still remains alone. He looks sad and who can blame him. In the space of a few short months, he has lost his little Ebony puppies especially Indy who he was very attached to, he has lost Blackie, his faithful friend, the first one who took him into the fold. Just like Blackie and the pups, Shadow is always seen when there is a slight drizzle in the evenings. He has probably learnt from Blackie the joys of enjoying a refreshing shower. When we last saw him in the slight drizzle , alone stretched out on the hump in the field frequented by Blackie and her pups, we wonder what is going through his mind.

Was he like us thinking of her and wondering where she has gone? Does he know she is gone. Does he miss her as much as we do. Are dogs like humans in that they remember friendships? We do not know enough of Shadow for all this while since he first arrived, he has been under the care of Blackie but because he is Blackie’s friend and her charge, our hearts go out to him. Poor Shadow. What do stray dogs think when they are alone. We wish we could approach him to give him a hug and a pat, and bring him to safety but even if we could catch him, where would we place him.

As he sat alone in the field where once happier memories lingered, our eyes are filled with tears as we are reminiscent of happier times when there were 2 big black dogs and four small ones happily playing in the rain. But, no we cannot ask for more. We should not. We are thankful.

Yes, we are, our three Ebony pups are in good homes and one is in the kennel but she is safe, we cannot ask for more. God has helped us find great happy homes for them and we know they are cherished by the families who took them in. For the one in the kennel, we know her time will come to go to a good home where she doesn't have to leave again. But even if she does stay in kennel it will be a life far better than her mother's. Blackie never had a chance like that and if she or even Shadow could understand, we are sure they would have given us their blessings.

We have not seen Blackie in a long time. She is probably gone from us but since we have not seen her body we still live in hope she might be sighted again.

You may note that with Shadow, we use the term "he" when all along we had said 'it". Yes it has been confirmed that Shadow is a male. One of our feeder managed to see him up close the other day and this was her note to us that morning : "Yesterday was my first time seeing Shadow face to face. He has small eyes - looks the same as Junior, (one of our RATSpack rescued last year and now staying in a kennel), he was looked lost while wandering along the street. I called out “Shadow” but he did not respond. When I clapped and called out “Blackie” he stopped and sat on the pavement and waited. But when I got nearer to him, he ran to the feeding area where we leave our food. He waited for me to come over. But I didn’t have food with me as I was on my way home. He is big and bony.”

This is Junior. Shadow looks like him.

Now that we know that Shadow is a male, we wonder if Blackie had disappeared because she was pregnant. The last time during her early pregnancy, she had disappeared for a while too, to appear again a few weeks later. Like Shadow, we have adopted a wait and see attitude. It is improbable but not impossible.

AND THEN THERE WAS ONE...
Priority has been adopted. We met her during the Fort Canning event when she came by for a visit. She does look lovely and very happy. Her new name is MUGII. Here is an email update from her mommy and daddy and some photos of new addition.

Quote from Mugii's new mommy, C on her email to us June 6, 2009
Me and my hubby have named her MUGII and she is responding to the name too =)

Mugii loves her chewies

… her towel

… and her bed

She is really a sweetie... Always like us to sayang her... Her docile nature makes her really lovable.. She is very smart but can be stubborn at times but I guess that is the nature of beagles... =) Initially she gets a bit insecure when both me and my hubby go out to work but now she's much better and adjusted to our routine...

She also loves lots of cuddles

We feed her twice a day, morning and evening, and she only poos when we bring her down for walks after her meal... She drinks a lot of water so she pees a lot too.. but now she knows how to pee in the toilet at a particular spot... =) So can say she is kinda home-trained already... =) hehe

We have brought her to a vet near to our place and she is undergoing oral heartworm treatment now cos the vet did another heartworm test for her and she is only mildly positive so he recommended that we just give her the oralmedication and she dun need to undergo the injections! We took that option cos we thought it would be less stress for her... And she is doing very good now! =)

Yes, and I do love you so Daddy

Oh and she loves to chew on bones and she loves the little doggie soft toy I bought for her... =) She has her own "bed" and towel which she needs to have when she sleeps... =) She loves to wrestle with my hubby too... hehe.. =p

At the end of the day, this is a dream that all our rescued
dogs want - a place to lay their head.
It seems they ask for very little, but then again it appears to be an awful lot.

Oh haha the name Mugii came about cos we wanted to give her a Japanese name that is more unique... Initially we tot of MUMU but tot it is difficult to call and we happen to like a husky we saw from another Shelter whose name is GIGI... so we put them both together and form MUGII with the additional "I" behind to make it more different... hehe =pOh btw her crippled leg seemed to be better now with regular exercise and also glucosamine everyday, as recommended by the vet... we will also be sending her for an xray to see what is the problem later on when we solved her heartworm... =)

We are very happy that for Mugii, her journey has finally ended on an extremely happy note thanks to C and her husband who believed in adopting and not buying a new pet.

Now we are left with Bean, the last beagle from the farm rescue. Bean is recovering very well from her malnourishment but she still has to undergo heartworm treatment to eventually sterilisation for her.

We are conducting viewings for Bean and we know if an adopter is serious about Bean, they will wait for her recovery. Call us if you wish to view Bean. Truly she will be worth the wait.

We have always maintained we believe there is a home out there amongst one of you, a special one to every dog we rescue. That home cannot be rushed because God has a plan for each of them. We know somewhere out there, the home is waiting for Bean while she takes a longer time in her journey. She was the one who almost died being the most starved and emaciated of the lot and for her to survive and come this far is already a miracle in itself.

LAMBERT, SWEET LAMBY

Our little lamb has found a home. Hurray!!. Yes, Lambert has a new name too, Roy. He has gone home with S and K and we visited him a few days ago. He was happy to see us but appeared a little concerned that we were gong to take him away, the funny lamb, so he went to hide underneath the table while we were saying our goodbyes, probably hoping we wouldn't see him. That shows how much he loves his new home. He looked with adoring eyes at his adopter throughout our visit. According to S, he is such a well behaved and sweet little dog. He gets two long walks every day and after each walk will obediently follow to have his paws washed in the bathroom.

Roy who has always not been comfortable with being carried allows S to do it with no protests. In a short week or so, Roy is an integral part of S and K lives and we are very happy for them.

Roy went to a vet recently and was discovered to have a small growth beneath his chest. A surgery was done two days ago. Please keep Roy in your prayers as the test results will be known in 10 days time. S and K are a little concerned and so are we. But we also believe that after all this time, the happiness that has eluded Roy has finally come into fruition and it cannot be taken away from him now. Not when he finally has a family who love and cherish him. Yes, Roy deserves the happiness that is in his life now. We are sure that our God is merciful. We will update with a longer write up from S about Roy soon.

Thanks to J and J and family who fostered Roy while he waited for his turn at a new home and showering him with so much love that it made up for the lack in his earlier sad life. We know that Roy would not be what he is today without your kindness and compassion. Thanks also to the rest of his supporters who have encouraged us with your donations, support and emails. Things can only get better for Roy from now on.

CLOUD IS IN HIS HEAVEN

Yes, the skies have opened up for little Cloud, our tiny shivering dog from the middle of the road. He has gone to a new foster home, to a family with two children and they are seriously considering adopting him. The children adore him for Cloud after all, is a dog who is sweet, gentle and mild and all he wants is to "Go Home" and "Be Home".

When we visited a few days back, we were told of how Cloud loves to sleep in the aircon room in his little corner, what a far cry from the rough asphalt tarred road where he was found. We rejoice with Cloud at his new found happiness. Yes, let us hope together that the fluffy white cloud gets to stay forever in his beautiful blue sky.

Cloud owes much of his well being to E and her family for their care when he had nowhere to turn to. They took him in despite their difficulties and ensured that he would have the best to their ability. We owe them our gratitude for their ready support and care.

Coco’s story

Coco is a beautiful jet black glossy coated 7 month old Labrador- cross female dog looking for a home. Loyal and faithful, Coco enjoys gallops and plays. She has been sterilised and healthy, very good with people and children. Is there a home where Coco can live forever and bask in love? She is much too young to stay in a Kennel forever. Regretfully, Coco would not be suitable for HDB dwelling.

Please contact us 98383820 or email to anaterry@singnet.com.sg and we can arrange for a viewing.

Energetic and Fiesty HOPE for Adoption

Breed: Jack Russell

Name: Hope

Gender: Male

Age: 4 years old

Color: Tan/White

Character: Very friendly with human & other dogs. Just like alll JRTs, he sheds due to his thick double coat.

Please contact Candy at mayeight1999@yahoo.com.sg if u can help him. Please help to spread the word if you know of someone who can.

Hope was paralysed more than a year ago and is adopted by a guy working in a vet clinic in Yishun. The previous owner dumped at the clinic to be put to sleep. Now the adopter's daughter has bad asthma so the dog is up for adoption. The guy actually designed the wheelchair himself and got a hardware shop to build it.

Please help him if you are able, he's still so energetic, so full of life. It would be a shame to have to put Hope down through no fault of his own. You can see this video on how well Hope moves around despite his disability, don't you think he deserves a chance : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gY8TwVXrNs8 .

If there is a chance at life, there is always a hope.
