Barnie - Saint Bernard
20th Jun 2008, by Noah's Ark CARES
Helloooo.....My name is Barnie and I am a Saint Bernard, the famous breed of dogs from the Swiss Alps bred for rescue work.I was rescued in Malaysia. My ex-owner imported me but had no time to train or care for me. To control me, I was tied to a toilet for a year.

All dogs that are been sent there has a time frame of 2 years to be rehomed before bei...

The inital plan was to only take a bus load of visitors but we ended up with 2 buses. We have also received many requests to organise the tour soon.Hence we have deci...

Memories Of Noah's Ark Tour 07 June
13th Jun 2008, by Noah's Ark CARES
Stealing a surprised kiss!! Three years ago, on a day which felt like a “puppy” day, my husband and I decided to visit SPCA with the hope of adopting one. As it turned out, it was closed on a Thursday, and being the ignorants we were, we ended up buying a 2.5month old Shih Tzu.Champagne was our first puppy. With the benefit of hind sight, we won’t be buying puppies any more, especially from commercial pet shops or puppy mills. But Champagne gives us indescribable joy every day and in an e...

Lady Checked Into The Pet Hotel Today
12th Jun 2008, by Noah's Ark CARES
Our volunteer went to Mt Pleasant Animal Hospital this afternoon to fetch Lady to the pet hotel.Somehow she knew she was going to be moved to a new place. The Vet Techs mentioned that when they open her cage, she usually stands up and walks out of the cage.Today when they opened her cage, she just lay there and stared at them - the same blank and empty stare that followers of our blog have seen in almost all of Lady's photographs.The two Vet Techs gently put on her new collar and leash, donated ...

She has been living with a fosterer for the past 2 mths with lots of "cage rest" in order for her bones to fuse.According to the fosterer, she is still not putting weight on her hind leg and we're getting a little concerned.In the opinion of her Vet - Dr Simon Quek, she is young and recovery period is generally should be quite fast.

Man's Best Friend In Life And Death - Tosca (R.I.P.)
3rd Jun 2008, by Noah's Ark CARES
Tosca came to Noah’s Ark in a most unusual way.Remember the little dirt track outside Noah's Ark? Along that track, pass the huge plantation on both sides; at the very end, lies a Chinese cemetery.One night in the Hungry Ghost month of 2006, Raymund heard a dog howling it’s heart out. It sounded so heart breaking that Raymund was moved to unravel the mystery dog behind it.There, he saw a bull mastiff guarding a newly setup grave. The dog was keeping vigil at his deceased master's grave. Ever...

We have been visiting Lady daily and bringing her regular fix of liver, gizzard and eggs kindly donated by concerned well-wishers. She laps it all up.
