Black and Tan Pups

Recently one afternoon, while a feeder was doing her usual round of feeding the street strays, she noticed in a deserted corner, some puppies roaming along a dangerous road. She immediately went over to take a look and saw a family of four hiding and drinking from the black dirty drain. These is a litter she has never seen before. She went around in the nearby factories asking if they could adopt the family, but the response was disappointing.

Feeding time, they get to eat two meals a week

A nearby worker told her that they have been sending puppies to construction sites or forested area as they have seen authorities do their misdeed not understanding that things are no better where they are sent. The feeder pleaded with the workers not to touch any of these puppies for she can still keep an eye on them whenever she visits but the workers seemed set in their opinion.
The feeder tried shifting the puppies to a ‘safer place’ where the traffic is less heavy but the mummy is not used to the new environment grabbed the pups one by one back to the deserted corner again.

Cute pup- not knowing a big snake is watching her 

As the feeder can only do her feeding round twice a week, she visited the place few days later and heard a pup crying very loudly for help. The pup was trapped as it had crawled into a container, the feeder was unable to crawl underneath the huge rusty container to rescue the pup and there was no worker nearby to assist. She left a duck leg for the pup to chew on and to alleviate her fear of being trapped and hoping that the workers can later help to get the pup out. As she continued busy with the feeding, she saw to her horror, a big snake right in front of her watching the pups. She shouted and chased the snake away with a stick but she is unable to be at the deserted area 24/7 to protect the family.


A poor pup was trapped underneath the rusty container,
nobody was around to help her so the feeder
left a duck leg for her to chew.

This is a case of 'we have no one and no where to turn to and appealing for adoption on-site". Out of desperation, we are helping the feeder plead with any kind soul, who has the space to adopt the puppies and mummy. If you are keen to view the puppies please call HP: 9765 9951 for the arrangement, however please bear in mind that they are not HDB approved breed.

Devoted Cara for Adoption

Devoted Cara for Adoption
  

 Sweet Mia Cara (mia Cara means my dearest) is like a dog you have never met before. We first came to know of her and her pups from a call from one of our feeder friends. She told us of a mother dog with five pups and they were all alone in a desolate area. This was not in the location are feeding so we decided to check it out the next day. When we found the black mother dog there were only 3 pups left. Later we were told by those in the area that two had earlier ran across the road and crushed by trucks.




Cara stayed with her pups when many stray mothers would have abandoned their young when faced with danger themselves 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. Even the kennel operators marvel at Cara’s devotion as they see with their own eyes that she does not eat but keeps them for her pups. They have urged us to try help find Cara a family as she is so deserving, in reward for her love and her devotion.

Cara always stayed true, stood by them, defending them despite the dangers from men who beat her with sticks to rid her of their premises. Till this day, whenever Cara sees broomsticks, she still avoids them.


Cara’s pups’ adoption were miraculous intervention. They were adopted onsite, something that does not happen often. All her pups, Zen, Silver and Raven are now grown up and living happily with their new homes. Now is her turn, now it is Cara’s turn for a 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. Yes, Cara’s story is one that could touch you.


If given a chance, Cara will be as devoted to you as she was to her pups and as she is to us now. When we visit her, she is full of enthusiasm and greets us with her yelps and whines. She jumps on us in anticipation that we will take her out. She is gentle with children and loves the pats and touches. Most times she doesn’t eat the treats we offer as she just thrives on our love, our words and our cuddles. Cara deserves a home full of love and she will stand guard over your household and your family as just as she stood over her pups. And the faithful dog that she is, she will never abandon you even in the face of danger. That is Cara.


Cara is small for a cross breed. She would fit very well into an apartment but she does love going out for her walks being the free spirit that she is. Cara's whole outlook in life is Joy, Joy and more Joy. She has forgotten all her unhappy past and puts her energies and exuberance into a new day. Will you be able to give Cara that new beginning, to see her light up in happiness is a sight to behold, indeed. 
If you are interested to adopt CARA, pls email anaterry@singnet.com.sg  / HP:91153067

Many stories have been written in our blog about Cara. Do read them so you understand the kind of devotion she has for those she loves.

Kitten seeking a forever home




Name : Pepper
Sex : Male
Age : 4.2 months( looks bigger coz of fat tummy)
Colour: Black and white
Eyes : Green
Vaccinated : Yes
Sterilized : Yes
Litter trained : Yes

Other qualities : Friendly, curious and playful. Gets along with other cats and not afraid of dogs.  A fun and confident kitten, intelligent and even tempered kitty. Learns very quickly.
Loves being carried around and is a lap cat. Pepper is loving and very affectionate, he 'speaks'when in a happy mood. Will grow to be a wonderful companion.

History
Pepper was rescued from Selarang military camp as he kept straying into the dog training unit. He is friendly and curious to a fault and that sealed his fate. The camp decided that he had to be removed as the dog unit is a restricted area. A national serviceman took him home only to be told by his parents that pets are not welcome in their home. Pepper got passed to a second army boy whose parents also objected to a cat. We agreed to help find a home for him. On the day he arrived, we noticed he had a slight limp. When Pepper went for his first vaccination, an X-ray was done and it was found that he had dislocated his hip and the bone showed signs of trauma. So surgery was arranged and castration was carried out as well. Pepper is now as good as new, and he is back to using his bad leg to hop, jump. He is pure entertainment he's never still unless asleep.

If you think you have a place in your home for this special kitty, please call Sue at 97924221.

Dog for Adoption - Mini Schnauzer

Posting on behalf of a very distressed owner who needs help to rehome his dog as he had to sell his assets due to a financial crunch. He has one week left before he moves into the rented room. Dog is unsterilised mini schnauzer, nearly 7 years and very affectionate.


Dear pet lover,

Currently, I am moving to a rented house and unfortunately, the owner does not allow me to bring my dog over. Hence, I have no choice but to look for a pet lover who is able to show him love and care. His breed is of miniature schnauzer, named Boy-boy. He is friendly and love to play. I sincerely hope that you can adopt my dog because I afraid that if I am to send him to SPCA, he will be put to sleep, which I really cannot bear to do so to my beloved Boy-boy. Many thanks to you for doing me this big favour and I look forward to your reply.


Your sincerely,
Mr Jacky Chiang (Hp no: 91733866)

Workshop Puppies

Update of puppies new pics, scroll right below.

Recently a lonely, sad, tired and hungry pregnant mummy gave birth to a litter of 5 pups outside a car workshop under the hot, merciless sun. We do not know if she collapsed from exhaustion or heat but she went into labour with no shade to hide under. She was suffering from malnutrition and was unable to give her litter the needed milk and proper shelter.

As they were in direct path of moving traffic, a kind staff from a nearby workshop took pity and shifted her and the litter to a safer place but she is unable to keep the family for long for their safety, as the area is dangerous with big fast moving vehicles.

We are looking for committed good homes for the 2-week old 4 male and 1 female puppies before they grow bigger and start roaming the street. The workshop staff have informed us that the Authority has been pounding the area for strays and worry that the family will be culled in one of the raids, and they have no place to hide them.

Puppies for Adoption

On behalf of a friend:

Dear Friends,
The attached are photos of a few of the 7 puppies I rescued recently. They are about 2.5 to 3 months old. Really adorable! Would greatly appreciate your kind assistance in helping to find good homes for them. They are mongrels so would probably grow to be medium-sized dogs hence not permitted in HDB flats.

If anyone is interested, please call HP: 98184329.

Cavalier King Charles looking for homes

15 Sep10 - Update:

The three CKCS are now with different fosterers as we needed them to learn to be independent as we are realistic to understand they will not be rehomed together. Splitting them up also help us to differentiate their personalities.

Update of Shaggy by a fosterer
Just a little update on Shaggy as requested. I'm falling in love with him already......heeee. 

Shaggy is a very sweet boy if I may use the word sweet for boys. When we first brought him home, he was like lost and were a little scared of my two other furkids at home. But once he is familiar with them, he is fine. Shaggy is not toilet or paper trained, sadly. He is very good with holding his pee and poo till he gets to go out for his walk.
 When we first took over the fostering, Shaggy's eyes were so badly infected that he can't really see properly and always bump into things in his way. His ears were also infected and smells.


After consulting the Vet with medications to clean and wash his eyes and ears every day, his eyes is so much better now and his ears are not so smelly as well. Shaggy is now a happier boy, he even tried to play, hope and jump especially when we come home from work or school.


When we walk him every morning, the first part of the walk i have to carry him and walk very fast towards the grass area so that he will not pee on the pavement. And he really holds till he reached the permitted area and there he lets it all out and its really alot of urine.


Shaggy is still pretty skinny and his legs are not strong enough to stand too long but he never gives up walking, he enjoys walking with us every morning and sometimes in the evening as well.


Oh yes, Shaggy is a very 'greedy' boy, he eats alot and pretty fast too. Shaggy is also learn the simple command like SIT, WAIT and GO.  He now sleeps with us all and with my two other furkids. He is free to roam around the house although at times he may pee everywhere.


He always wags his tail when you call his name and you can see that he is so happy.
In another 5 days' time, he is due for review and by then we believe he should be fine and putting on some weight. 


This is an update on Maggie ( the sterlised female)

A lovely docile 6 year old sterilised dog. Wonderful temperament, gets along with other dogs and exceptionally good with kids and people. She is recovering from an ear infection and even when we have to dig into her ears to clean, a very painful and uncomfortable process, she will whine and cry and probably struggle to get away but she never bites. You can also pop medicine into her mouth by opening her jaws, she won't bite and obediently swallows even though she doesn't quite like the taste. She is very trusting and loving and loves following you around the house. If you are sitting on the sofa she will sleep by your feet, a real lap dog Maggie is.

We are looking for a committed home who has experience with spaniel's long ears and the needs she will require. Once her infection clears, it will be just regular maintainence. Maggie has never been toilet trained by her previous owners and sometimes gets locked up a tiny cage for long periods of time. She treats the newspapers like her bed (we suspect this is all she had to sleep on previously) and will not dirty the paper. She does not know what grass is and avoids it, prefering the pavement.

She has learnt to hold her pee and poo till she gets her walks (until she can no longer control and accidents happen). If you have a place where she can do her toilet without inconveniencing yourself or a helper or family member to walk her so she doesn't have to hold her pee/poo, you will be giving this sweet dog a chance for another life and also earned yourself a devoted and loyal companian.

Maggie is also learning to walk on leash without pulling and now can enter a lift without being too nervous. In a very short space of time she understand what is "wait, don't touch the treat" and "sit". It just provies you can teach an older dog new tricks!!


Update on Happy aka Asher by a fosterer:



Asher is currently partially toilet & paper trained. if there is paper he will do on it otherwise he will make his way to the toilet. At times, he does forget or mischievously he will pee on the floor. Asher still has his playfulness in him, and he enjoys chasing a ball around. He is a very manja dog, likes to stand on his hind legs to grab your attention and ask you to sayang him. He will "kiss" you and he is easy to train. Learns fast. Not a dominating dog, and will learn his boundaries if you teach him.

He has wonderful temperament, gets along with other dogs and exceptionally good with kids and people. He is recovering from an eye infection and has learnt to sit down and let u drip the medicine into his eye. he seem to know this will lessen the pain although he doesn't fancy it. Medication are easily fed as u can mix it into his food and he will eat it all up.. He is very trusting and loving and loves following you around the house, Always ready with a wag in his tail.

Asher WILL NOT do his business outdoors as he gets very nervous when he is out of the house. He is afraid of the cars and loud noise. needs reassurance from his owner. But he walks well on the leash, he will never pull.

In a short time he understands what is "wait, don't touch the treat" and "sit". It just proves you can teach an older dog new tricks!!
