Foods Your Dog Should Never Eat
22nd Jul 2011, by Second Chance
Alcohol – Alcohol has the same effect on dogs’ liver and brain that it has on humans. But it takes far less to do its damage. Just a little can cause vomiting, diarrhea, central nervous system depression, problems with coordination, difficulty breathing, coma, even death. And the smaller the dog, the greater the effect.Onions and garlic – onions and garlic can destroy a dog's red blood cells, leading to anemia.Coffee, tea and other caffeinated substances - Caffeine in large enough quantiti...

Visiting Naughty Sammy
21st Jul 2011, by Second Chance
We paid Sammy boy a visit over the weekend, and were we surprised to see the little fella recovering so fast and being so active!Sammy appearing energetic and alertApparently, this escape artist succeeded in running off once last week from the fosterer's house by squeezing through a very tiny hole, jaywalking around the area and keeping just enough distance so that the breathless fosterer in hot pursuit could never reach him. After almost an hour of running and coaxing and bribing with foo...

Overpopulation Of Dogs And Cats In Malaysia
19th Jul 2011, by Second Chance
It is estimated that about more than 100,000 healthy pets are euthanized annually because there just aren't enough room at the shelters and they simply have no where else to go. In United states alone, 3 to 4 million pets are put to sleep at shelters yearly due to the same problem.The only solution to curb and control this issue is only by spaying and neutering. Many regard spaying and neutering to be inhumane from the religious point of view or simply some may think it is just not important to ...

Confessions Of A Brontophobic - Mr. Guinness Stout
15th Jul 2011, by Second Chance
We run this posting again as Mr. Guinness has been returned over the weekend. Guinness is a generally brave dog but surprisingly he is afraid of thunder. If he could, he would want to hide himself under a table or seek the protection of a mighty chair during a thunderstorm. Sometimes he even tries to squeeze into really tiny spaces. He would use his paws to cover up his big mega ears and try to calm himself down by murmuring to himself "be a man, it's just a thunderstorm. It's no big deal, I'll ...

Health Benefits Of Spaying And Neutering
10th Jul 2011, by Second Chance
Some pet owners are not aware of the advantages of spaying or neutering their pet. A spayed or neutered pet does not become fat or lazy. Their metabolism may slow down a bit but all you have to do to keep that trim look is cut back a little on the food. In addition to the obvious advantage of preventing unwanted pregnancies, there are health and behavioral benefits:1) Spaying or neutering is foolproof birth control that lasts a lifetime.2) Spaying or neutering provides relief from such hormone d...

Sam recently crossed paths with an emaciated looking mama dog (nicknamed Ah Wong). She also has a maggot wound but around her genital area. Attached are some pics which speak louder than words!

She is an old semi-stray and has been fed by one of the uncles. According to this uncle, the dog has now become anorexic since she gave birth to a black p...

I believe that no dog on earth can resist Jerhigh treats. Sammy boy smiled when he saw the Jerhigh strips. From that smile, we all knew that Sammy was recovering well. As we can all recall, Sammy boy was found a few weeks ago at Look Out Point, Cheras, hiding at a corner. He was saved by Sam and has been treated at a clinic from then on.Since Sammy boy was malnurished, he's been fed essence of chicken occasionally. He indeed has been doing very well with the treatment that he actually escaped fr...

Handsome Old(?) Chap
6th Jul 2011, by Second Chance
This handsome old chap reminds me very much of Sandy! He loves to hug people, just like Sandy! Actually, I’m not quite sure if he’s that old.. but both me and my fren James deduce that he’s old from what seems like greying fur :DWe might be wrong though. One thing that I have zero clue until now is telling a dog’s age. Must make some effort to learn that from the experts one day. ~ I want a hug please ~ ~ Tee hee.. Thanks! ~This handsome chap ...

Cotton & Family
5th Jul 2011, by Second Chance
A long overdue visit to the shelter two weeks ago was greeted by this cheerful infectious bright smile from Cotton, a lovely and very friendly mama dog. She instantly reminded me of my favourite rebellious princess Snoopy =) Then I was told of how Cotton and hubby and her pups escaped horrible fate ( ie. being round up and send to local dog pound) thanks to rescue effort by MDDB. Cotton and family are now temporarily residing at our shelter until they are able to find their forever ...
