Blessed Christmas Greetings

We wish our dear readers A Meaningful Christmas.
May the peace and joy of this season
be upon you and your family
as we count our blessings of love and friendship





 As you enjoy the Season's festivities,
do remember our furry friends at the Shelter
and donate generously.

 T'was the night before Christmas ...
at the Animal Shelter

'Tis the night before Christmas and all through the town,
Every shelter is full. We are lost but not found.
Our numbers are hung on our kennels so bare,
We hope every minute that someone will care.

They'll come to adopt us and give us the call,
"Come here, Kyoto, come over Rosy ~ come fetch your new ball!"
But now we just sit here and think of the days.....
We were treated so fondly ~ we had baby ways.

Once we were little, then we grew and we grew ~
Now we're no longer young, and we're no longer new
So out the back door we were thrown like trash,
They reacted so quickly ~ why were they so rash?

We "jump on the children," "don't come when they call",
We "bark when they leave us," "climb over the wall."
We should have been neutered, we should have been spayed,
Now we suffer the consequence of the error they made.

If only they'd trained us, if only we knew...
We'd have done what they asked us and worshipped them, too.
We were left in back yard, or worse ~ left to roam...
Now we're tired and lonely and out of a home.

They dropped us off here and they kissed us good-by....
"Maybe someone else will give you a try."
So now here we are, all confused and alone....
In a shelter with others who long for a home.

The kind workers come through with a meal and a pat,
With so many to care for, they can't stay to chat.
They move to the next kennel, giving each of us cheer....
We know that they wonder how long we'll be here.


Of a home filled with love and our own cozy beds.
Then we wake to see sad eyes, brimming with tears ~
Our friends filled with emptiness,
worry and fear.

If you can't adopt us and there's no room at your inn ~
Could you help with the bills and fill our food bin?
We count on your kindness each day of the year ~
Can you give more than hope to everyone here?
~ Anon ~


Hopeful Sandy for Adoption




Sandy's story
She is 3 months and such a clown now. She knows how to sit before her food / treats and has a very good appetite. She still learning how to toilet train but is a very curious pup and adores people, other dogs (and food), which we are happy as the vet says this is good rehabilitation on her part and the medication also making her hungry. No matter how soundly she is sleeping, snoring upside down turtle style, the minute she hears rustling of plastic bag or someone eating, you can be sure Sandy is silently by your side looking on - hopeful.

Yes Hopeful Sandy that is what we call her. Her motto "Try, try cos you never know what happens next". Currently undergoing treatment right now for her skin problem due to environment and stress prior to her rescue. otherwise she is very healhy, playful and very cute, curious and has the saddest looking face with her big ears and huge sad eyes. Even when she is happy, she looks sad, only evidence of happiness is her waggy tail. She knows her name very well, knows how to sit and walks well on leash. We are still training her with toilet. She is not barky but whimpers or whine to sound her happiness or hunger.

Sandy was saved from being put down just hours before the deadline was up. Seeing her happy, alive and a carefree pup makes us very glad to have rescued her in the nick of time. Unfortunately, Sandy will not be suitable for HDB (or public housing) as she is considered a mid-size dog. She will grow into a small mid size.

Please call 91153067 or email anaterry@singnet.com.sg if you wish to give Sandy the best Christmas of her life - the gift of a family



If you are thinking of getting that new pet,
Please consider Adopting first.
We lay down to sleep and sweet dreams fill our heads....
There are many looking for homes

Dear Lord, please make our dreams come true.








We wish to thank Mrs. S for her very kind donation of canned dog food for feeding of the hungry homeless.

 On behalf of the abandoned and those left behind, we really appreciate your joining us in our efforts.
