Responsible Dog Ownership

In line with AVA's Responsible Pet Ownership awareness, Tampines Park RC is pleased to introduce "Good Canine Resident" - a 4-lesson (6 hours) basic dog obedience program conducted by Ms. Shanice Tan, owner and founder of SuperNova Academy Of Dog Sports "where every dog shines".

We believe that "a pet is for life" and one of the greatest gift we can give to our doggy friend is to be equipped with right training methods for both dog and owner to enhance a positive attitude in the neighbourhood we live in, the place we call home.

Please contact Tampines Park RC Vice Chairman Terence Lim by email terrificlim@yahoo.com or call 91153067 for more information or to sign up.

Remember, consider Adoption first....

To the wonderful dogs we have met
Who have inspired us
And taught us
Strength, Courage, Tenderness, Love.
Many who have gone to good homes
Some we have lost along the way
But we have cherished each one of you
Our precious dears,
Cried with most
Laughed with all.
Our beloved dogs, we salute you
For bringing out the best in us.
We pray that you may be happy
Wherever you are
For it was our God who laid the plans
In His time, never ours
And with you in our hearts
We will hold on together
To a dream, that one day
Things will change for the better
It has to,
One day,
One day...

If you have speakers, you will know that our blog page is playing the song of "If We Hold on Together" sung by Diana Ross.

We love the words of this song as we need to believe that our strays can hold on, will hold on while we race against time to help them in the situation they are in.

"If we hold on together
I know our dreams will never die
Dreams see us through to forever..."

It is hard to wait and to hold, we know, but they have to because we believe they are there for a reason. All of them are deserving, deserving for a good home. We pray with them that they can go home, one day.

"Words are swaying
Somebody is praying
Please let us come home to stay"

We also need to hear this song for ourselves, as feeders and rescuers and as re-homers that we need to work together, to hold together. No time for friction or fraction. This cause is for them, our strays, our beloved dogs, not for us. It is never for us. This blog carries no name. Holds no person. Is anonymous. As it should be. This is all about them, each and every dog we have rescued or couldn't. Each and every one that we have fed or couldn't. Each and every one we have seen survived and also lost.

This is theirs. This blog, this entirety, their story. We are just their voice and their tears. We take no pride, we take no shame. We tell it as we see, as it is. As each story is written, tears have been shed, some in joy and some in sorrow and some in anguish and anger.

If this blog has touched you, help us to help them. Many of our dogs are unsponsored, many of them need permanent homes and future. If you can help them, let us know, because it is them you are helping.

Will you then hold on with them together?
