[rehomed!] ADOPT: Pippy the 7mo singapore girl

My father and I have been taking care of Fei Fei and kids (Bucket, Jing Jing and Pippy) for months already. One of Fei Fei's Pups (Bucket) had an Maggots infestation on his neck and he's the smallest in the pack.

My dad and I sent Fei fei and the pups to the vet, and they flushed out all the maggots from Bucket. Fei Fei had an Maggot infestation as well, at her anus area. This is because they were staying in the Field, grass area and they are prone to getting cut and wounds and this attracts files.

Dad and I have shifted Fei Fei from the Grass to a sheltered factory that is currently unoccupied and over there there are around 6 adult dogs staying there too. We will clean up the area and perhaps get a pest control to fumigate the area and make it more conducive for them to stay. And we have used frontline for the dogs there to stop the ticks from attacking them.

In the Long Run, we will be sending Fei Fei and her Daughters for spaying and ASD will be supporting us in this. Meanwhile the pups are about 5-6 weeks old and I am looking into actively looking for a home for Pups and Fei Fei. We would like to provide Fei Fei and Kids and the rest of them with at least a conducive shelter and buy time for them while we find them a permanent home.

[rehomed!] FOSTER/ADOPT: Lucky Girl - 2yo husky

While most of us simply walk or drive by areas which look too secluded and awful to enter, life often lurks in these areas. A recent rescue of two huskies highlight the plight of pedigree dogs dumped as they were part of unwanted breeding litters. These dogs were left behind to suffer in the heat, without food and water in an area where other strays roam. They were rescued and were found to be extremely skinny and young.

The two huskies are small sized for Huskies. Johnny (right) had an awful maggot wound on its hind leg. He is recovering well. Lucky Girl (left) has been sterilized and vaccinated. Johnny will be sterilized and vaccinated once his wound heals up. These two huskies seem to know no sorrow. They are very obedient and bubbly. The boy is shy but enjoys hugs while the girl is a gentle beauty. Lucky girl loves to hug by clinging onto the waist of her favorite people. They get along well and love human company. They also love their meals at Pets Villa and treasure the food they are given.

Lucky Girl and Johnny need to be fostered/adopted together as they are very attached to each other.

Adopter will also need to spend time and effort on helping with their skin and treatment for Johnny's wound(Getting better already).

Lucky Girl and Johnny have so much love, loyalty and companionship to offer in return.

[rehomed!] ADOPT: affectionate orange/white male cat

I would like to appeal for genuine adopter for this orange and white male cat that i have been feeding for the past few months and currently nursing him back to health from flu.

First spotted his appearance around Oct last year and was quite wary initially. After months of feeding he started to trust me and i trapped him for sterilisation.

Sent him to the vet sometime last week when notice he was coughing away and rejected food. Was down with flu and have been with me since then to complete his medication. Vet estimated that he's around 2-3yrs old.

As his course of antibiotic is coming to an end, i seriously hope that someone can adopt him because he is a very affectionate cat and it will be unsafe for me to release him to where he was because during his stay with me, 2 other community cats at the same place suddenly went missing.

I seriously couldn't keep him for long as it is really stress for both of us. Me being a wheelchair-bound person with muscular dystrophy, it is really taking a toll on me physically looking after him, and i also don't know how long i can look after him. As for him, rather stress to be cage up most of the time.

Regarding toilet train or not, as i always bring him into the toilet in the carrier and let him out to relieve himself, i won't really dare to say he is 100% toilet train. But once or twice i let him out to roam in the house, he went into the toilet on his own and even uses the doggy litter tray.

As for food, i use to just feed him wet food when he was still living downstairs but started giving him both wet and dry during his recuperation at my place.

Of course what i want for him is a real home with owner that is genuinely caring and loving him like a family member and taking care of him till the end.

[rehomed!] ADOPT: Lolo Nanuk the laidback 7yo male teacup poodle

Lolo Nanuk is 7 years old tea cup poodle and therefore acts that way.

he sleep a lot and is slowing down a little. He will walk a little but does not want to walk much. he loves his food which makes him very easy to care for.

Lolo takes a while to get used to people and will try to bite them but as he has no more teeth left he can't really hurt anyone.

he is currently on probiotics to help him with his digestion, skin supplements, joints supplements. he has loose patellas which slows him down even more but still wants to jump for treats.

Lolo was left at the pet shop by his previous owner as she didn't want him anymore.
as he was very stressed there, i took him home to foster.

i absolutely fell in love with him but i don't think my home is the one for him. i have an active life style and my other dogs and I go for long walks and for lolo it's just too much. even when i carry him, he gets very heavy after a while and does show signs of stress from the heat in the carrier.

Lolo will stay with me for the rest of his life if need be. so there is no rush. please think of adopting him carefully.

i am looking for someone who can care for him better than i can. maybe someone who has another old dog who is of similar energy level and life style. that would be my wish for him.

SPONSOR BILLS/ADOPT: Johnny Cash the singapore boy whose head was smashed, still looking for home

Here is the tale of Johnny Cash, a poor boy, ill treated simply because he was friendly.

Johnny Cash is a lovely stray that roams the areas some of us feed. He has always been a gentle boy and loves to run up for his chicken neck treats!

However, we recently heard that Johnny’s head had been smashed and hit by a China worker in the area. To our horror, Johnny was indeed in an awful state. His head was merely a bloody mess with nothing much left protecting his skull.

Johnny has been rescued and is now living at the Cattery at Pets villa as our dog kennels are full.

Johnny has gone for his first visit to the vet. The road to recovery is going to be a long and painful one. To make things worse, friendly Johnny is now far more wary of humans and suspicious of those around him. However, we will continue to do our best to make Johnny Cash the same old boy he used to be.

If you are keen to help with the cost of Johnny’s medical bills, please help us help him by writing a cheque to ‘The Animal Doctors Pte Ltd’ and write ‘Johnny Cash’ behind the cheque along with your address so we can mail you a receipt. All cheques can be sent to:
