When Kindness Can Be A Weakness
24th Jun 2011, by Noah's Ark CARES
How many of us are actually guilty of endlessly chasing after materialistic wants in the modern society, just because our basic needs are so easily fulfilled nowadays that we take it for granted? Cannot decide on which new handbag to buy online or busy looking through the itineraries of different travel agencies for a planned holiday to USA? Though Singapore is a fast developing country there will be always a group of disadvantaged and needy citizens somewhere struggling to make ends meet everyd...

RIP Roberto The Rabbit
17th Jun 2011, by Noah's Ark CARES
We have heard and seen so much about stray cats and dogs, yet on the flip side, pet owners have no qualms about throwing out their small pet animals into the wilderness.About 3 months ago, our volunteer received a call for help with a rabbit that was roaming Little Guilin park. It was approaching dusk so J, the lady who reported the case to us was concerned over the safety of this little one. In fact, she assured our volunteer that she will stay and watch over the rabbit till we arrive. Once the...

Damsel In Distress
9th Jun 2011, by Noah's Ark CARES
How does one define a stray? Simply explained, they are animals that do not have homes and/or that are not owned. The streets should not be their home, but still, not every animal is that lucky to have a permanent and cozy place to reside in. Some people find them a pest, though most of the time, the animals do not disturb them at all. We are unable to even understand why, but nonetheless, we take heart that there are still kind-hearted people caring for the strays out there.Princess, as named b...

23rd May 2011, by Noah's Ark CARES
How to calm a scared dog during a heavy thunderstormMany of you would have noticed that even way before the rain and thunder comes, your dog has probably already started behaving frantically; that’s assuming that your dog has a fear of rain and storms. While calming a frightened dog during a thunderstorm can be a challenge, a few simple steps that address health, training and behavior can make a significant difference.Picture taken from CorbisA healthy dog is a happy dog!A dog’s diet...

What To Do When You Lose Your Pet?
19th May 2011, by Noah's Ark CARES
It’s the one thing pet owners fear. That huge sense of loss that feels like we are being swallowed up by a huge empty dark hole. It is the most horrible feeling in the world, like the sky just caved in on us and we can’t breathe. All the emotions come rushing up. Morbid thoughts haunt us.‘Where is Lucky? Will she be ok? Will she get knocked down by a car? What if she is caught by exotic meat eaters? What if she gets put down?’Picture taken from CorbisSo what can you do if...

Volunteering Experience
15th May 2011, by Noah's Ark CARES
I first learnt of Noah's Ark when my sister came back from her visit and told me stories about how overwhelming it was to be pounced on by over-enthusiastic dogs. This piqued my interest and I decided to sign on the next public tour. After that, I was instantly hooked!To me, every visit to the sanctuary is stress relieving, just patting the dogs and seeing their antics will cheer just about anyone up. It was a place where no one judged, where it can just be the dogs and me interacting. Bei...

First Visit To Noah's Ark
11th May 2011, by Noah's Ark CARES
I looked forward to the trip to Noah’s Ark – it was 2 firsts for me. It was the first time I was driving to Malaysia and first visit to Noah’s Ark. I have seen the pictures in on the sanctuary’s website and the dogs look like great company to start my weekend. A small troop of us (5) had a bumpy ride to the sanctuary searching for a rather elusive sign for freshwater fishing place. After driving around for a while, I was over the moon to see the sign for “NANAS”.Upon reaching, ...

Training Prince
25th Apr 2011, by Noah's Ark CARES
It was in September when we first gathered to start our training sessions. Jazz and Adrian from APAW (http://athleticpawsllywood.shutterfly.com/) had generously offered to offer some guidance some of our volunteers in the aspect of dog training. Our first step was to train our own dogs and vice versa before we could start training and mangaging our other dogs in Noah's Ark. It was also an opportunity for both the dog and owner to forge a stronger bond and learn more about each other. We were tau...

The Virtue Of Older Dogs
13th Apr 2011, by Noah's Ark CARES
We are often called upon to rescue older dogs, and many a time we find ourselves with a fair number of “Senior Citizens”. Many people tell us they are not interested in them because they are too old. It is not surprising that shelters consider these animals virtually unadoptable if they are over five years old. We find these attitudes senseless and unacceptable. There are many virtues in older dogs. Having been through a fair bit, they are typically calm, gentle and easy-going.Many o...

Badger Is Sponsored!
10th Apr 2011, by Noah's Ark CARES
I first visited Noah's Ark five years ago when I first started getting acquainted with dogs. Being a Noah's Ark virgin, I must admit being overwhelmed by the sheer number of dogs in the beautiful gardens.During my next visits, I fell in love with a tri-coloured sweetie, Badger, who would go around in the most calm and dignified manner for pats. I would have liked to adopt him, however, I had a green-eyed dog at home, so I opted for sponsorship.I hope this encourages more people to adopt/sponsor ...

Helping Cats By Su Mei Lenden-Hitchcock
28th Mar 2011, by Noah's Ark CARES
I have always loved cats, so much so that my last two boyfriends said I was borderline obsessive and were sure I would become one of those old ladies wandering the streets feeding cats in the alleys. They were wrong about the age though. I’m only 20 and have already begun the process of becoming a “cat lady”. And like many “cat ladies”, I go that little bit further, from just feeding to neutering.I started catching cats for sterilization in light of the recent spat...

Mindy Needs A Family To Love Her
16th Mar 2011, by Noah's Ark CARES
My husband discovered 2 fat little pups (abt 2-3 mths old) when he was walking along Sembawang Park. By the time he got home to tell me, the pups had disappeared. After 3 days of searching, my daughter and myself managed to rescue one pup but the second was no where in sight. At this point, Mindy's been to the vet and has had all the required shots. Her baby fur fell out and she didn't look too pretty for awhile but she is absolutely lovely now. See for yourself :)A couple of points to take...
