A.L.L. at the 2nd FCI International Dog Show

Sunday last, 6th Sep saw us at The Serangoon Community Club, helping at the ALL’s booth for the Companion Dog show selling merchandise, speaking with visitors and having a jolly good time at several dog contests.
.
The main sponsor of this event is Eagle Pro Pack and winners of the various dog events walked away with packs of Eagle dog pack. The booth for ALL was also donated by Eagle Pro Pack and we are grateful for their generous offer.
.

There was a special promotion of basic grooming at $10 by groomers from Holistic Pet Care Pte Ltd. They very generously donated $5 to A.L.L.’s Pets Villa while the other $5 was donated to Serangoon CCC Comcare funds. That means their efforts for the day was totally pro-bono, both volunteering their time and expertise. What great people they are! Many took the grooming session for their dogs, clipping nails, cleaning ears, owners left happy but from the faces of those dogs, they didn’t quite share share the same sentiments. haha

A couple of our dogs from the shelter went for the ride, golden Milo and pretty Marshmellow. Marshie had a lot of fun interacting with the small dogs and with the kids. She is up for adoption and we are looking for a good loving home for her as she deserves it.

Our many volunteers and friends came to join us and had a great time with their dogs, getting to know each other and taking part in the fun events.

As seen in the photos below, the day was a lot of fun.

Our merchandise for sale, fund rasising in aid of Pets Villa, the place where some 300 dogs and 500 cats call home.
Prince, with his loving mommy J is in charge of the accounts today.
He used his front and back paws to calculate the change.




Our booth had many things to sell


ALL teeshirts, animal postcards, notebooks, ALL car decals, collars for
dogs, cats, even guinea pigs.

Jabby is our poster boy. He is wearing one of our doggy teeshirt.
“Does this shirt make me look FAT?”



Guess who came to a-visiting…
Our good pals from Noah’s Ark came to support, another great AWG. We are in the same
efforts for the good of our furry friends.  

 

Pretty damsels all in a row
Our volunteers and friends who came to support
with their lovely dogs. what a great time the dogs had,

sniffing butts, pulling ears while their proud
mummys exchaged small talk and tips.
 
 


From our kennels, pretty Marshie represented A.L.L.
A perfect example of ALL’s mission, of a dog who was abandoned,
hurt in an accident. rescued by A.L.L.,

recovered and now up for rehoming.
The ever happy Marshie smiles for the camera

. 

Marshie came with Milo, another dog rescued from a gruesome noose.
Doesn’t Milo look as good as those taking part in the Dog shows.
The best part, he is our own home grown Singapore dog.
Cheers to our Singapore dog ! Hip Hip Hurray

The two kind groomers from Holistic Pet Care Pte Ltd. who donated
the day’s proceeds. Truly inspirational use of their time and talents
to aid those in need. Kudos to them.




However, not all were appreciative of the grooming services.
No prizes for guessing who didn’t enjoy.

..
Look at Ben Ben and Wa Wa's faces.  Hilarious!


We had time for fun and our dogs participated in many contests


Our young volunteers with Super Girl (Vivi) GI Joe (Prince), Wonder Dog (Marshie)
In the Superheroes contest.

Unfortunately nobody won but who cares, we had fun!


At the Fastest Eating Contest.

Vivi, daintily licks and smells while Milo gulps down his share.
He came in 4th, oops no prize, just missed by one.

 


Marshie, (no photo) not only finished her food, proceeded to eat her neighbour’s as well.
What a laugh.

It was funny to watch. Yes the dogs did enjoy this contest. 

.
Santa came to support and watched intensely at the contests, probably
picking up tips for future use.
.
Santa, is a special boy, recently adopted from A.L.L. is one
Happy Ending Story thanks to his adopter Daddy A who
absolutely adores him.

Clover also came to support her doggy pals.
She is another happy ending story as she was found
wandering in a carpark in the North, cruelly abandoned in a

car park but now much loved in  B's family fold.

Clover is all dolled up ready to party.


Another rescued dog Choki, a handsome and docile girl.
Who would believe she was rescued from a dump,

such a beautiful and gentle girl.
 


Not all contest were for the dogs, some of our
Volunteers won prizes in the Lucky Draw too.
Look at the smile on J, she looks like she won a million
dollars but it was more than that, wow, a hamper
of chocolates.... yummy!!!
The dogs, and us were zonked out at the end of the event.
Yes, it was tiring but it was fun.




Sure, we were tired, and thirsty and our bodies ached the next day, but if our volunteering efforts help Pets Villa to continue their mission to rescue, rehabilitate and rehome, it is all worth it.  Would we do it again? In a heartbeat, yes, you'll see us there!!
Thank you to all to came to volunteer, visit and support.  We need your partnership to make this work.

Golden Retriever Club

(this is next to Pets Villa so do come and visit our booth, purchase our merchandise and support our fund raising cause for the dogs and cats at Pets Villa)

Remember, if you are looking for a new furry addition to your family, think of adopting first, like our lovely Marshmellow and Lucky in the posts below: They are healthy, happy and make great pets for the family.




Marshmellow is a smooth coat cross terrier who is looking for a home.
In our previous blog entries, we had mentioned how little Marshemellow survived a double blow, first from being hit by a car and then rolled over by another.She sufferered abrasions, cuts and had a fracture to her pelvic bone. A spunky dog, she bore her pain well and has now completely recovered from her mishap. She can run and jump with glee.

Marshie, as we affectionaltely call her, looks like a small fox terrier with her sleek fur and colouring. She is estimated to be around 2 years old or so. A very gentle, sweet and mild dog she is super with dogs smaller her size and you can see her licking and grooming them as a mother would her young. She has an excellent temperament and will fit iwell nto any home as the perfect family dog in a HDB apartment.Will you be able to offer that to Marshmellow?

Please contact anaterry@singnet.com.sg or 98383820.  


Lucky - Sterlised male
-Excellent Health, less than a year old
- Happy, friendly, active
-Good with people and children
- Playful with other dogs

Lucky has the looks of a small German Shepherd, and one of the first few pups rescued from a temple. He was in a litter of 3 pups and the cutest most adorable male dog protecting his two sisters. Although the smallest in size, he was the bravest and very protective little dog.
Lucky was fostered by a family with a dog, and feels now that Lucky is ready to be adopted out to a family willing to give him a forever home to call his own.


If anyone has a home for Lucky, please email us at alim0703@yahoo.com.sg or call us at 98383820.
