Today, our zone 1 cat feeder Auntie Can found a dog at her shop in Circuit Road. Male Shetland, unsterilised, about 1-2 years of age.
We are not sure if he was abandoned there - she has had animals abandoned at her shop before, like Kendra was - but to be sure he is not an abandoned boy, I passed the message along to the Shetland Sheepdog community in Singapore. He was found without a collar, and we have no microchip sensor so we wouldn't know if he is licensed to an owner we can trace. If no one comes forward to claim him, we will have to re-home him.
Aswat has named him Grover, after his previous dog. Grover is a really cute boy. He loves his walks, has no herding instinct thus gets along well with cats, and he is always happy. Aswat showered and groomed him today and Andy brought him out for his evening walk just now. He is a happy dog! -
He is likely to have been fed previously on a home-made diet, as his teeth is coated in tartar, and when he was fed today, he had diarrhoea after, possibly because he is not used to proprietary dog food.
We are currently too full-house to keep Grover for long before we have to re-home him. Aswat is already turning down paying customers for grooming because he has no more holding pens for dogs that come for grooming.
If you do know of anyone who lost this dog at Circuit Road, please contact Aswat at 9337 8211.
Update 13 Feb
We have had no leads on our Sheltie being a lost dog, and managed to rehome him to a friend last night. We are happy Grover has a new and loving home!
Update 18 Feb
Our cutie Sheltie, Grover, was brought to the vet by his adopter. Turns out he is much older than expected - he is 9 years old! He has mild cataracts too.
His adopter changed their minds about adopting Grover because their family recently had a member who was hospitalised.
He was also scanned for his microchip number, it is 985100010744473 which I have reverted to SPCA with, in case the reportedly lost Sheltie they had on file was the same.
Otherwise, when Grover rehabilitates fully, we will be re-homing him again if we can find a potential adopter. He is now still with the lapsed-adoptive family where he is receiving medication.
Update: He is not SPCA's reportedly lost Sheltie. No reported-lost dog with Petcall matching Grover's number either. Grover is available for adoption.
Update 3 Mar
