Giraffe is a stray dog that was rescued from near Bugis Junction by two kind school girls from UWC on 5 Feb 2011. He was limping from an accident, and had a wound below the tail. He is extremely frail from not being fed for many days....but, otherwise in good health. We took him to the vet yesterday - no worms, no ticks, no major problem. Prescription: Antibiotics for the small wound....loads of love and care!
WANTED: a kind hearted soul who will take Giraffe home
He is currently been given temporary shelter by a very kind lady living in Upper East Coast Road.
He is a very genteel kid - a Singapore Mongrel, (but looks like he has a bit of Alsatian miz by the way he stands up magnificently with ears perked up). Estimated about 2 years old. Loves to be petted, and cooperates when being bathed...but each time any of us leave the house....he whines so sadly....
Apparently - SPCA has a record for this dog - he was with a rickshaw puller on the streets and there have been many complaints of him being ill treated...and malnourished. But he is eating well now...and hopefully will recover in a few days.....Lets pray we find a home for him soon....
