HAPPY TALES: KARL

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Leonard: “Our humble home is not a home without a dog, so we decided to adopt another dog after our 12-year-old West Highland Terrier passed away this year. That’s when we saw Jack (renamed Karl), a senior dog in SPCA’s gallery.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

The day we visited him happened to be my birthday! Karl greeted us by standing on his hind legs and wagging his tail. My partner gave the nod and we went ahead with the adoption.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Karl was the name we chose after noticing his inward curling tail. He’s my fourth adopted dog. At first, he was insecure in his new home; he would lash out in tantrums by yanking items, or pushing them off the table. But we persevered in our training. We gave him toys, brought him for daily exercises, and encouraged socialising with other dogs.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

After just 3 weeks, Karl improved so much! He loves children too. By working at home more often, we can give him the attention he needs to overcome the fear of separation he developed after being abandoned at 11 years old. He deserves a second chance and we’re more than happy to give him that for the rest of his life.”
