My poor Kylie

Yesterday evening I saw Kylie wobbling about on her 3 legs... I was so heartbroken to see her walking in pain, I had to even carry her down the stairs and onto the grass. At first, I thought she has arthritis or something due to her weight. But this morning when I inspect her paws, I realise 1 of the paw is swollen. Will be bring my fat gal to the vet soon.

Jasper is back for the holidays!!!

2days ago, I rec a call from Vino, Jasper's adopter. With a pounding heart, I wondered why he suddenly call me. Thankfully it was because he and his family are going to Malaysia for a holiday and ask if I could help to dog sit little Jasper boy for 3days. Of cos I said YES. I was having exam break and I needed something to laugh and smile about. The next afternoon, Vin bought Jasper here.

What a big boy already. Vin was initially apprehensive of how Jasper will react to my dogs. But he was finally relieved after I told him my doggies may not like him very much, but Jasper love them to bits.

He was also worried if he has troubled me too much. Sure, I mopped like 1000times after Jasper marking and urine. And he couldn't stop humping Ah fat(HA HA). But I missed him and I am glad I got this chance to see Jasper again and know that he now has a very loving family who will not give him up no matter what.

Goodbye my dear rescue dogs, I will see you one day....

My Lala, the cat

This is Lala, the cat. A sweetie that we feed every night at our block. We suspect she thinks she is a dog because she loves our dogs but doesn't really bother about other cats... Hehehe

Wanda the puppy gal...

You know what is the best way to help a homeless doggie?? Give them a loving home, of cos!!
Gentle paws is a having a adoption drive on 10 - 11 July. If you can't adopt, they needs volunteers to help clean and walk the dogs too : )

Lovely Wanda was found loitering near Ena's block. She is no more than 9months old. For weeks, Wanda was Ena's constant companion when she feeds the cats near midnight, everyday. When we found she was pregnant, we decided we have to send her for abortion and sterilization as soon as we can.

Now currently at DRS, skinny Wanda already lost 3kg in 2weeks. She is soo human friendly. She needs a loving home as she seems stressed out by kennel life. Wanda will be at the adoption drive. So be sure to drop by and visit her with other lovely dogs there!!

If you like to view her, pls call me at 81023019. Thanks!

Pom Pom has passed away...

On the same day that I received Jasper's wonderful pics, I received a call from Rayne saying Pom is at the vet, she has just vomitted blood and collaspe. She was rushing to the vet, crying. Hours later, I recived a sms that she had to be put to slp as she had a brain infection and was already screaming from the pain. The adopters and Rayne were devastated. I couldnt help but thought of how we rescue her from certain death and adopt her out to a wonderful home and she still had to leave us 1 year later. Still Im glad she was able to find her way to Rayne, Sumiko, her mum and our loving hearts for the past 1 year.

Rest in peace, dear Pom Pom.. You will always be in our heart.

I am a happy gal today...

These past 2 weeks has seen me being swamped by projects and tests. As I worry for yet another project presentation tml, I received a email from Jasper's adopter with dear Jasper latest photos...

Oh my, how much she has grown... I am so happy for him. He is so much luckier than his siblings which have been send to SPCA.

Be happy Jasper, my dear boy.

Poor River, the mongrel needs your help please

I am a volunteer in Doggie Rescue Shelter situated in Pasir Ris Farmway. I would like to raise funds for River, a rescued mongrel in DRS. He started chewing his tail from 2weeks ago and became a bit bloodied and furless. Last week, Jessie the shelter owner came by the kennel and saw River's tail bleeding heavily. She rushed him to ARC greendale. The vet said that if the tail is not amputated, the bleeding would not stop. So Jessie has no choice but to go ahead with the operation. During the operation, River's heartbeat stop for almost a min. Luckily he is revived back. But his blood count now is extremely low. Vet is advising to give lightly cooked organs. He is now discharged and back to the kennel.

The final bill now is $542. Please help to donate to this poor dog. Anyone who has seen River will definitely pity him. Having a terrible skin condition already made him uncomfortable and painful. Now this make it worse. The vet mentioned that he has Demodex, and apparently there is a treatment available now that may be able to help him. But, again, $$ is an issue. If there is any leftover donation, we hope to use it on River's treatment.

If you have enquiries, pls feel free to PM me or contact me at 81023019. You may also visit River at the shelter. But we'll have to walk you in personally.

Background of Doggie Rescue

Shelter Dog rescues and shelters come in many sizes and fill different functions within the community. Some dog shelters hold dogs for three to ten days before euthanizing them in order to prepare space for additional strays and unwanted pets. Other "no kill" dog shelters keep their wards - bathing them, feeding them, giving them medical attention - until a loving family adopts them. Unfortunately, this type of shelter must limit the quantity of dogs it accepts due to spatial and financial constraints.

The Doggie Rescue Shelter (DRS) is one such shelter. What began at the beginning of the millenium, DRS has since been home to over 70 of our very own Singapore Specials.

From early 2001 to Nov 2007, the shelter was privately run by two sisters – Jessie and Elsie, who have a passion for helping stray and abandoned dogs and providing them with a better life filled with safety, security and love. Now, Doggie Rescue Shelter (Singapore) is officially registered as a non-profit organization.

More than physical labours, the two sisters are the main financial providers of DRS. In order to continue maintaining the basic living standards of the rescued dogs, DRS relies greatly on the aid of the public and welcomes any sum of financial contributions.
