Mr Tobey smiles his Hello

Mr. Tobey, smiling black/tan Papillion (cross?)




A smiling, happy fella, Tobey is a lovely young black/tan Papillon (cross?) who was found wandering near an MRT for days. Many people passed by thinking he was lost and left him alone but after a few days with no sign of the owner returning, a compassionate lady took him in. Poor fella was so hungry and thirsty and relieved help came, he immediately sat down solemnly and gave her a "Paw" to thank her.

We call him Tobey or Mr. Tobey as he has such perfect manners, offering his paw to everyone he meets as in "How do you do, Kind Sir". Tobey is an unsterilised papillon, estimated to be between 3 to 4 years old, and with his lovely butterfly ears and smile, he makes such a welcome sight that a first instinct would be to pick him up and hug him tight He is docile, gentle and a meek little boy, still rather shy as fresh from his rescue but has settled in very well with the fosterer's dogs. He is thin and his fur condition is not as sleek nor shiny as it should be, probably from neglect and poor nutrition but nothing that love and time won't heal.

Mr. Tobey raises his paw when this photo is taken. can you see his paw?

We are looking for a home, preferably with experience looking after dogs (small breed) for Tobey, with a condition that the Adopter will bring him to a vet for his vaccination, checks and sterilisation. Alternatively we can arrange to do all the necessary but adopter will cover the expenses (receipts provided).

Please call HP: 9765 9951 or email to anaterry@singnet.com.sg and provide us with as much information as you can so that we can get to know you better and a contact for us to get back to you. The more the background information you provide, the less we need to ask.  Tobey is suitable for HDB dwelling.

Make today a Tobey day - Mr. Tobey to be exact.


Update on the Forest Pups

The forest pups have since been relocated into fostering as they were being attacked by rats and bitten by big red ants. Their tails were reportedly chewed and found to be full of holes and maggots. Because of the dire situation, there was no choice but to pull them out, even though the mother dog ran away and refused to be caught. It was a hard decision to make, with mommy howling in anguish as she saw her pups being taken, but if that was not done, we were not sure if the pups would survive in the damp and rot.

The vet took immediate action and gave medication. One of them had a bit of her tail amputated as her injury was very bad and the vet was afraid of further infection. They have all since recovered well and very cute and fat little pups.

We have named them, for adoption distinction for we couldn't keeping saying forest pups or brown pups one two or three. There is only one male pup and we have called him McCoy. the other girls are Alphy, Pinky, Bearie and Rocco. The photos shown below were taken two weeks ago.

As of today's blog posting, there are only two pups left for adoption, McCoy the male and Alphy the female. The others have been adopted into loving homes. They are extremely cute and playful, full of mischief and will now look forward to a rosier future than their unfortunate mother.


Please contact HP: 9765 9951 or email alim0703@yahoo.com.sg if you are interested to view a Forest pup for adoption.   Both McCoy and Alphy will grow into medium size dogs and not suitable for HDB.



If you know of any friend thinking of a new pet,
Do encourage them to consider Adoption first
