Goodbye ...Big Black 11th Dec 2014, by Second Chance
One of our long staying dogs in shelter - Big Black was not doing well due to severe kidney failure. We were advised to let him go to set him free from suffering. It was definitely a tough decision but we couldn't bear to see him suffer longer...May you rest in peace Big Black. We will miss you, yes we will. Run free now towards Rainbow Bridge where we believe all furkids find eternal joy, health and love.
Big Black was wagging his tail upon seeing us at the clinic....not knowing that thi...

Some Latest Photos Of Hero 5th Nov 2014, by Second Chance
Hero was abandoned at a bus stop when he was just 4 days old and was taken care of by one of our volunteers. He was adopted in May 2011. However, his adopter now has a posting overseas for 5 years and nobody is able to take care of Hero. Hence, Hero is now back at the shelter. His adopter, Ivan is now sponsoring his monthly food expenses.
Recently Ivan has requested to have some photo updates of Hero, so we decided to share them here too. Hero is basically a playful, active and fun lovin...

Updates On Karina 2nd Nov 2014, by Second Chance
After one week of treatment at the clinic, Karina's stomach has shrunk in size. Now she is being fostered and still needs daily jabs.
Having said that, she is much "lighter" now and can move with ease rather than carrying a heavy body around. Her appetite is very good and enjoys chicken rice very much.
She has also been given the second jab for mange (skin problem).

Updates On Karina 23rd Oct 2014, by Second Chance
Karina's heart scan result shows righted weak heart which causes bloated stomach (on top of the low protein factor).
Three days in the cage at the vet's depressed her a bit.......

We brought her rice with chicken and it is nice to see her having such good appetite, she finishe...

Karina 21st Oct 2014, by Second Chance
Karina was rescued on 12th October (though this posting is a bit late, we still wish to tell her story)
Few of us volunteers were on our way to the shelter, we saw this dog, almost furless (scabies condition), standing at the edge of a bridge , staring down for a long time into a river, we reckon she must be thirsty and could not figure out how to drink the river water.
We got down from the car and brought her water and rice. She ate hungrily and drank thirstily. She was a pitiful sight, s...

Elsa's Makeover 15th Sep 2014, by Second Chance
Juliana believes and shares the same concept like us : " Adopt, Don't Buy; Neuter, Don't Multiply "
"What adoption means to a stray/homeless furkid? It is not just giving them a place to stay in. To them, it is a place to find hope, love, safety and joy! If you can't rescue, please adopt. If you can't adopt, please share to create awareness. Stop buying, start adopting. This is Elsa, an abandoned blind Shih Tzu from puppy mill blessed with a second chance" (In a previous post, Elsa has been ado...
