Change, they say, is the only constant in our life. Change and death, I suppose. All else remains an uncertainty.
Days ago, Lee’s friend was so sure he wanted to adopt the Siberian Husky, but this morning, Lee told me he wasn’t sure anymore. Apparently, he has some things to take care of first.
But Lee had already made arrangements with the owner to take over the dog today itself, so Lee texted for help if we could find an adopter for the husky in the event that her friend does not want the dog. Lee had also planned to take the dog to the vet’s immediately for a medical check-up.
So now, the friend is not sure if he wants to adopt the husky.
Oh gosh…we can only blog for adopters (with no guarantee) or Lee could put the pet profile up of PetFinder.my. Other than that, we could ask if PAWS would take in a husky (that would be the last resort).
But Lee was determined to take the husky from the owner since the owner had threatened to throw the dog out to the streets. I forewarned Lee that she may have to adopt the husky should all contingency plans fail. Once we take over any animal, we must always be prepared to adopt the animal should we fail to find an adopter. Otherwise, we surrender the animal at the shelter, subject to shelter policies.
The husky, now named Fifi, is in Lee’s house now, and Lee says she is in good health, is well-behaved and calm. But she is kept outdoors now because of excessive shedding.

This was what I had asked for from the owner – just a photo so that I could blog for adopters, but the photo never came. Sigh..seems like throwing her out on the street would be easier than snapping a photo with the hp and mms-ing it to me.
Imagine what would happen to this poor dog if Lee had not taken her in? Her owner was going to throw her out the very next day and her reason was that she had no time to look after her anymore. Gosh…I really don’t know what to say, except this:
Thank you so much, Lee. You must be Fifi’s guardian angel.
If Lee’s friend does not want to adopt Fifi, Fifi will be up for adoption. Fifi has also been spayed.
Take a look at Fifi – countless of young Siberian Huskies are sent to our local vets by their owners, to be euthanised because they could not look after them anymore.
We appeal to everyone who wants to adopt or has adopted an animal:
1. Please find out what it entails to look after an animal (for life) before adopting one.
2. In the event that you cannot look after the animal anymore, please find another home for it.
That’s really the very least we can do for the animals whom we have taken responsibility for.
Updates at 8.45pm – I have just spoken with the manager of PAWS. He said it is very easy to rehome a husky these days as they are in big demand. I have informed Lee that should she have no choice (her friend does not want to adopt and we fail to find adopters), at least she has this option of surrendering Fifi to the shelter for adoption.
I had earlier told the middle-person that the owner could surrender the dog to the shelter for adoption, but the owner, apparently, was not willing to pay the surrender fee.
