all dogs have found homes

ADOPT: badly injured brindle pup saved from drowning, left with permanent scar on back

One recent Saturday night, during an extremely heavy downpour, amidst thunder and lightning, when many of us would be safe and sound, warmly cuddled in our cosy homes, curled up in front of the televsion set or relaxing in peace and comfort, not so for the unfortunate. Cries of puppies' whimpering and dog's howling could be heard. They were piteous and kept on and on. and neighbouring dogs in the vincinity barked their heads off in high excitement or was it in compassionate sympathy.
.
The cries were heard near a construction site and so an alarm went out among the animal lovers in that area. Two bravely went out in search. It was a terrible night, visibility was poor, the rain did not ease and near the site there were no street lamps. It was dark and slippery as mud mixed with sand made it hard on sodden slippers and shoes. The rescuers went on in blind sight but by faith and hope that they would be able to find the crying puppies.

After an hour or so in the wet, cold and in darkness, the sounds seemed to come from a nearby drain gushing with water. The puppies, we speculate, apparently must have stumbled into the drain as they were young and the rain made it hard for them to follow their mom. Mommy dog was seen from a distance, sitting nearby crying for help as she could not rescue her pups, who were in the swirling brackish water. She knew her pups were drowning and there was nothing she could do but howl for help.

When the rescuers got near mommy, she was excited and cried even louder, sensing that help was on the way. In wondrous amazement, she came near as if to beckon them, and then ran ahead to show the rescuers the exact location of her pups. It was a very pitiful sight. As the rescuers looked around, there were workers at the construction site, near where the drain was but nobody bothered or came forward to help the mommy dog, nobody was touched, nobody cared. In plain sight, the poor mom with her drowning pups looked extremely forlorn and tragic.

Which was more more pitiful picutre at that time... we wondered? What was the greater tragedy. The sight of the drowning pups clawing desperately to get out of the water, the crying, frantic, whimpering mummy dog watching her beloved babies die or the apathy of hard hearted humans who had no compassion, no tinge of kindness. Sigh and sigh again.

The brave rescuers had to be careful as they were women and the drain was big. The rain was heavy with strong winds and water was already overflowing. They held on tight to each other for firm grip as there was nothing to hold on to, so that they would not fall into the drains and be swept away themselves. They managed to grab hold of one pup first with much effort and quickly passed from one to the other and finally to the mother dog as she grabbed them by their its neck to safety. They did that with two pups but sadly they were too late to rescue the third as it did not make it.

One of the pups had a serious injury at its back, with a big open cut and needed medical attention. We decided that both the pups needed to be warmed up and they could no longer stay at this site where danger was everywhere. They were so young and clumsy and death would be imminent a day longer for them here.

We told mommy dog that we will take her pups back home and get them back to health and then look for good homes for them. She seemed to understand as she stood there, quietly looking as we took her two babies away. Then she followed us slowly to our car and as we drove off. In our rear view mirrow we saw she ran after the car for a while, but stopped, as if she knew they would be safe with us.

The next day we visited the mother dog and showed her the pups. She was very happy to see them. We also brought food for her whereupon she ate very hurriedly and gratefully. When we left this time with her pups, mommy did not follow us nor chased after the car. We think she knows they would be safe and she must have felt relieved for them.

We will keep our promise, we will treat the pups and try to find them good homes. We will visit her often with food so that she will not starve of hunger and when the time is right, we will return to catch mommy and sterilise her.

But we need your help, We need open doors for these two pups saved from near death. These two brindle pups are looking for good homes. They are young, less than 2 months old and will grow into mid size dogs. They will not be HDB approved. If there are any compassionate hearts who would like to adopt them, please call HP: 9765 9951.

As in all dogs, they will be as brave and endearing and loyal as their beautiful mom if you would just give them a chance. Can you? Will you?

Personality/temperament?

a bit active due to still in their puppyhood. no sign of aggressiveness in them even when you want to take away the treats when they are eating but they faster finish the treats when they saw your hands coming.

Both will be waggling its tails when people entering the house after a greeting (1-2 barkings) when people knocking the front door . They are used to staying house with corridor so passer-by or strangers walk by they usually heck-care or 1-2 barks if they talk very loudly outside, (I usually closed the doors).

Good with other pets? like to disturb my old dog but my dog will heck care and walk away and both of them either follow my dog or play on its own.

Good with children?Owner has a 7 years old daughter at home.

Why is it being put up for fostering/adoption?

The pair belongs to my brother and it's a pressie from friends. First time owner so asking me to daycare for them while they are working. All went well until on Monday, 11th April 2011, a HBD officers came knocking at my door and told me to remove my brother's dogs due to neighbour's complaint on having more than 1 dog at my unit.

Tried to explained to him that both are licensed and I am only looking after in the daytime when evening or nightime, owner will fetch them back. But officer said dogs only can at other people's house for temporary period of time but not on long term basis.If on long term basis means owning the dogs.

I was given 2 weeks' time to discuss this matter with my brother either put the dogs at the house in the daytime or put them in the petshop/petfarm for boarding.

My brother refused to accept any of the option given as he used to just bringing the dogs home to sleep while daytime I will feeding them,cleaning the cage,basic or full grooming for them.

After much consideration,he decided to ask me to help them to look for adopter. If given a choice, I hope things remain the same as I love the dogs very much. So I hope any experienced volunteer/rehomer can screen for suitable adopter for them.

Other comments: As I am inexperienced in rehoming a dog, I need a volunteer/rehomer to screen on people who are interested in them.No adoption fee required but if adopter insist, please ask them to donate to the animal shelter.The pair are with me now for the convenience for adopter for viewing.

For my part, my hubby and I already started to ask around (among dog lovers to spread this news and see any friends/relatives who is interested in adopting them.)

I will be looking after/fostering for 2 weeks if by then still haven't find a suitable adopter, I will call up HDB to check whether can delay the time.PLease help to spread this new. THANK YOU.

[rehomed!] SOS! ADOPT: litter of 4 male mongrel pups (few weeks old) at workplace before management notices them

We found a litter of 5 pups (the solid black pup just got adopted, so now left with 4 pups) at a friend's workplace. They look very young, probably only about 5 weeks old.

We are trying to get the pups adopted asap before the management knows about it. Once they see the pups roaming around, they will get SPCA in to get rid of them.

We are racing against time as the pups are growing each day. Sooner or later the management staff will notice them.

All males
Mixed breed mongrel pups, non-HDB approved.
