Most were rescued from the streets and many others were unceremoniously dumped right at our door step. Many of these abandoned animals are pedigrees.Sometimes, the owners were traced and of course, we queried the reason behind the abandonment. The usu...

NA Rescue - Waffles (Update)
14th May 2008, by Noah's Ark CARES
Waffles was sent to the Vet last Friday for check up and her bandage was removed as the vet wanted Waffles to start using her hind leg.She is still afraid to put weight on her leg. You can see the attached picture of her x-ray - there is a bone pin inserted into her leg.The vet said it was a bad fracture but good in a way because such fractures heal easily and because she is very young (estimated at 3 mths), bones will fuse back rather quickly.Waffles is recovering at a fosterer's home and will ...

Bicycle - Mongrel
12th May 2008, by Noah's Ark CARES
Hello,You can guess the reason why I was named Bicycle; that is simply because I loved to chase bicycles. For that, I was at the receiving end of many hard kicks and expletives.My ex-owner used to own a bicyle and I would happily run alongside with him on his outings. Even when he dumped me, I was still guarding his bicycle everyday till his return.After many days of not bringing me home and harsh words, I understand that I was no longer wanted and left to roam the streets.Life was tough. There...
