Greeting from us!
Enjoyed myself today with the shelter's volunteer! They sacrificed their Vesak's day just for today's photography session for the dogs! Although it was very hot, but we enjoyed ourself! Wasn't feeling well as my asthma relapse, luckily I brought my inhaler along or else I really don't know how do I survive thru the day! Thanks god.
Chelsea, I'm glad that she had walked out from her fear. She finally have some confidence for yourself, she usually just hide in the kennel. Look at her now? Isn't she pretty? ^.^
Pardon me for the blur photo as I used IPhone's camera. This is Minky! She is one of the dog that is easy to take photo, haha she will post for you one! This picture was taken in a car if you realize so I couldn't take a nice photo of her! :( Well, I rly hope someone would adopt her soon, as she deserve somewhere better with lots of love and care.
Shelter is definitely not a place for all dogs to stay after all, right? But firstly, in my own opinion I think some of the people who stay in condo/terrace would prefer to get pedigree dogs instead BUT there are still people who prefer to adopt instead of buying of a puppy mill. =)
I hope more people would choose to adopt than buying from a puppy mill, because when you buy you're supporting breeding which means their parent had to suffer from breeding non stop till they no longer able to do so. You can google it.
Yes, the puppy is cute. But to think of their parent, don't you think its cruel to treat animal this way because of money? You buy = you support. You support = more breeding. When will this stop then?
Question asked like:
1) If I don't buy, where can I adopt then? I am living in a HDB-flat.
- You can adopt from various rescuer or from Voice for Animal. But usually all are age above 5 years old. They won't look good, but if you have patience, yes the dog will look good after your care, grooming, etc.. Because they have suffered enough it's our turn to care for them, give them lots of love.
2) But I am keen in puppy only. Where can I adopt?
- Firstly, do you have time for a puppy? Remember puppy are still puppy, they will have their puppy-hood. For example teething, hyper active. Can you handle?
- Secondly, puppy needs lots of care too, and feeding. Do you have time?
- Lastly, most of the puppy for adoption are non-hdb approved.
There are people who tell me, " those dog got disease or not? they are stray dogs leh".
My answer to your question is " Before the dogs are being rehome, they will go for a check up and vaccination for protection. They are called stray dog because they live in the street, but if they are rescue, they no longer call stray dogs. They are unique in their own ways. =) "
if you are willing to help, you can start from volunteering! :D
Good night.
