Dedicated To People In Rescue
21st Apr 2011, by Noah's Ark CARES
written by Jeanne IllischeI wasn’t a pup when I came to your homeI’d been dumped on the road, left to roam.Don’t remember the people except the painThey left me do to die in the cold and the rain.You were driving along the highway, it was late at nightWhen you saw the faintest glimmer of lightYou took a chance and turned aroundGot out of the van and knelt to the groundMy quivering body felt the gentlest of handsI knew I need not make any more demandsIn your heart, and your home...

Horsey In A Worrying State (URGENT - Transport Help Needed)
21st Apr 2011, by AnimalCare
Joanne emailed me late last night saying that Horsey had not urinated the whole day. I knew this was not to be taken lightly, so I immediately contacted the vet to seek advice. For any animal not to urinate for 24 hours, it is indeed worrying because it could lead to the necrosis of the kidneys and eventual death. I am now arranging for transport so that Joanne can bring Horsey to our vet this evening. However, our transport provider has not reverted to me yet. ...

Moolloo And 2 Puppies Up For Adoption
21st Apr 2011, by AnimalCare
A request from Teresa Chian:Please post the attached 2 pics of Moolloo, currently under a fosterer's care in Damansara. He is still up for adoption.Last Sunday, I found 2 puppies wandering outside my house. They are about 2 months old, dewormed and are in good condition. Neighbours in my area know that I do animal rescue and rehome work and so I suspect that they somehow spread the news around and somebody decided to take advantage of that by dumping puppies in front of my house. I managed to pu...

Of Muzzles, Banned Breeds And....other Things
20th Apr 2011, by AnimalCare
Ref: http://www.myanimalcare.org/2011/04/yb-hannah-yeoh -replies.htmlMy friend has these to share:Muzzling a dog:The muzzle is used by vets when handling a snappy dog, not for dogs out on a walk. The muzzle makes it difficult for the dog to breathe properly and is unnatural and stressful as well. All dogs cool down their body by breathing through their mouth and by muzzling those dogs while out on the leash is not only cruel, it can cause the dog to go into heat stroke and ultim...

A Mother And 3 Kittens, Dumped
19th Apr 2011, by AnimalCare
One of our panel vets called me this afternoon. A lady by the name of Lillian had brought a mother-cat and 3 kittens to the clinic, asking for help in spaying the mother-cat and getting the kittens adopted. I said we'll pay for the spaying of the mother if the vet feels she is fit enough to be spayed. Apparently, someone had dumped the poor mother and her 3 kittens in front of Lillian's house. The mother-cat. She is practically skin and bones. Poor thing. I could see her ...
