Adoption Drive on Sunday, 07 Apr 2013

Following my blog post on Adoption Needed Urgently for the 7 puppies rescued by volunteers from HOPE Dog Rescue, there will be an Adoption Drive on this coming Sunday, 07 Apr 2013

Details are as follow: 


Date : Sunday, 7 April
Time : 12pm to 5pm
Venue : No. 11 Pasir Ris Farmway 2, Singapore 519326 (inside Mutts & Mittens)

The puppies are approximately 5 to 6 weeks old, 3 females and 4 males. 

There is an adoption fee of $350/- , which covers 3 vaccinations, microchipping and sterilization. The puppies are too young to be vaccinated and will only be vaccinated when they are 8 weeks old. At 12 weeks old, they will receive their 2nd vaccination and microchip. At 16 weeks old, they receive their 3rd vaccination. They will be sterilized when they are 5 mths old.

The puppies are local breeds, and will grow to medium size when full grown. Please think twice before you rush down to take one home. Puppies are a handful for the first few months; they chew your furniture, they bite your shoes, they mess up your home, they cry and whine and they need to be fed many meals a day. If you don’t have the patience or time, please do not adopt. Raising a puppy is very much like raising a child, they need proper guidance and boundaries. 

If you are undaunted by the above facts, then go on down

Note : These dogs are NOT HDB approved, until AVA / HDB says so

Once again, I would like to remind you that having a pet is a LIFE-TIME Commitment. Please think carefully before getting one. If you really like to have one, please ADOPT!

Adoption Needed Urgently!

By now, some of you should have known that we have a Guest Puppy at home!

Residents from Jurong Town Council were complaining that these strays are noisy & they chases joggers. Seriously, I don't understand why can't the Town Council choose to engage Pest Control to 'destroy Men's Best Friend!" instead of engaging one of the many Animal shelters to help re-home the dogs.

So, last night (or rather, in the wee hours' today) a group of volunteers from HOPE Dog Rescue rushed to Bukit Batok hoping that they can rescue some strays from being caught by Pest Control company engaged by Jurong Town Council due to complains from residents. 

The volunteers spent a few hours combing the hills of Bukit Batok & finally rescued 7 puppies! Read mpre about the rescue process here: Jurong Town Council Kills

Anyway... ... this morning I woke up hearing an unfamiliar bark. I was thinking probably Weezer or Frostie was being accidentally locked in sister's room cos her door was closed but she's in the living room. When I open the door, I realize both of them are in the room, so I let them out. BUt I still hear the unfamiliar bark near me when I'm in the toilet washing up. It was only when I'm done, Damien & Daryl came into my room and happily told me that there's a puppy in the kitchen. So I went to the kitchen & found a cute little black puppy! 

One of the rescued puppy is in the house! My brother-in-law brought home one of them to foster for the moment, and will bring it to the adoption drive on Sunday. 

Below are some pictures of the rescued puppy we have at home currently.

We would LOVE to adopt one, but we already have 2 JRTs & 4 Loop Ear Bunnies at home, so I reckon we can't take in another one, so we really HOPE they gets a nice home.

For those who are keen (or rather, knows someone who is keen) to adopt one of these puppies, please email fiona@hopedogrescue.org or leskok@ymail.com for more details.

Before you adopt these puppies, do note that having a pet is a LIFE-TIME COMMITMENT. Do not adopt just because they're cute now. They will outgrown the cuteness. 

Please adopt only if you can commit a LIFE-TIME!
