??*Note:
Mei Mei, Xiao Hei, Nokia, Jelly Bean and Big Bobby were rescued from the neighboring shelter at Ericsson Pet Farm, when the tenant could no longer afford to maintain her shelter and decided to call it quits. If however these dogs do not find a forever home in time – I believe they will always be welcomed at Noah’s Ark where they will get freedom to run free and to be just a dog.
Two months have since passed and the dogs: Tiger, Lady, Emerald, Crystal, Friday and Angel have settled in well at Noah’s Ark. If you can recall, Tiger – when he left Singapore he weighed 35 kg, grossly overweight for a medium cross breed dog. All that additional weight had taken a toll on his limbs. Today, Tiger is getting all the TLC (tender loving care) and special treatment from Raymund – and he is staying near the clinic which had just been renovated. But even better news! Tiger has slimmed down and he is now able to run around with ease (he can even do the bunny hop now) – I feel so happy for him as he is now able to lead a better life than to just lay down and sleep the entire day away .

Visit to Noah’s Ark by Rosina

| Rosina giving Wayne, a Border Collie all the attention. |
In September, Rosina was in town to teach Animal Communications. Every time, when she has a rest day, she will take the opportunity to visit Noah’s Ark. Rosina has a special love for white horses and she will stop to visit Melody, the white pony who is almost 30 years old this year and still looks good for her age. I wonder what is her secret to staying youthful.
After visiting the horses, Rosina will visit Jasmine, a cross breed who is the resident dog at the Wisma (the cat house). Jasmine stays and gets along with 100 cats at the Wisma – All those who say dogs can’t get along with the cats – Jasmine has proven all of them wrong! And she is not the only special dog. I just found out that Max a Cross Rottie also gets along with the cats at the Wisma too – well done Max!
By the way, Jasmine appeared on the front cover of Noah’s Ark 2013 Calendar a tribute to a loving nature – we are so excited that she has made it to the front page.
During Rosina’s visit to the Wisma as she sits on the floor, about 20 cats will queue and take their turn to sit next to her – a really amazing sight, it is as if they are queuing to see a doctor. What was even nicer to know is that they had no complaints – they are contented and looking forward to Rosina’s next visit in April 2013.

Mr Teo, 71 yrs old held two jobs to save Bobby Brown
Rescue work never ends here,and we do what we can within our limited resources.
I went to visit Bobby that same week, to check on his temperament and when I saw him there was sadness in his eyes because he knew that he was on death row.
To Mr Teo who has not had much formal education, SPCA was the alternative he knew for animal welfare issues so I decided to visit Mr Teo to find out more details about himself and his dog to see how we could assist him. I felt that even though Mr Teo’s health may be failing we would like to see what we could do to help Bobby have an alternative life even without Mr Teo’s upkeep of him.
I was told that Mr Teo rescued Bobby 5 years ago after the construction of the condo at Clementi was completed, feeling sorry for Bobby Mr Teo took the dog and housed it at a boarding house. Mr Teo held 2 jobs to upkeep Bobby at the kennel, but with Mr Teo’s advanced age and ill health he is aware that his days maybe numbered.
As such, we feel that the least we can do for both of them is take care of Bobby so that Mr Teo will no longer have to worry about Bobby’s welfare and need only concentrate on getting better.

The vet estimates Bobby’s vet bill to be about $800 , if you would like to support his medical costs, please write a cheque to Mount Pleasant Animal Medical Centre (Bedok) Pte Ltd and mail to: Noah’s Ark CARES, 42 Cairnhill Road #02-01 Singapore 229661. Please indicate on the back of the cheque that it is to be used for “Bobby Brown”.
If you wish to help Mr Teo with Bobby’s boarding fees which is $374.50 a month please write a cheque to Noah’s Ark CARES or you can arrange a fund transfer. Mr Teo has been unable to pay for Bobby’s boarding fees for the last 3 months since he fell ill.
For more details about Bobby Brown please email to dogstalk@starhub.net.sg
Cookie, The Cocker Spaniel
Cookie was abandoned by a father and son 2 years ago but had been rescued by Yi Hao, a student who knew about Cookie’s plight. As such, Cookie has a behaviourial issue through no fault of his own. Sadly, these behaviourial issues are the result of owner’s bad treatment but with the pet suffering the aftermath.
One of the problems was that the family used to tease Cookie whilst he was sleeping by poking him and when they fed him, the children would try to annoy him by taking his food away. As a result Cookie tends to display very aggravated and agitated behaviour whenever he sleeps and eats. A not too surprising outcome.
Suddenly, last week, Cookie lost his sight and we immediately sent him to the vet on Saturday afternoon to investigate. Dr Chan was worried that Cookie might be diabetic and therefore it was necessary to do a comprehensive blood test on him.
When the blood tests results were out – we have happy to hear that his kidney and liver blood counts were normal, both heartworm and tick fever were negative – but to our horror his red and white blood cells count were way below the normal count. His bone marrow is not producing enough red and white blood cells.

| Jacky and Tina – the Brindles made a Special Appearance at the AVA Road Show |
Jacky our Animal Comm. Mascot was a hot favourite at Noah’s Ark Booth, many visitors stopped to say “Hi”, patted and took pictures of him. We think he is just as popular as Jacky Chan but definitely a much younger and more handsome canine version J.
For the team, the roadshow was a great way to network and to spend quality time with the dogs at the show.
Lost & Found
Dazzle, a young puppy was missing from her home on 27 Oct, during that time, together with her rescuer and fosterer, Angie and Clement our Animal Communicator tried to help find Dazzle. The team was so committed that they searched for her everyday regardless of the weather despite the mailrain. The worst thing was that Dazzle was lost at Punggol Park Connector - which is extremely challenging as there are no distinctive land marks with everything looked very much the same. One week before the newspaper article appeared, Dazzle was picked up by someone and a friend read the article and recognised Dazzle to inform his friend to return the the dog to its owners. Dazzle was finally reunited with her mummy on 19 Nov. We are so glad that a kind soul did the right thing by picking her up and taking care of her.
We do hope that they are more people like them who will help lost pets reunite with their owners.
On 13 Nov, I received a call from Ruth that someone found a standard Poodle in Bukit Batok – thankfully the caller did the right thing by stopping to take the dog home so that we can find its owner. The dog did not have an micro chip, but we knew it had an owner and we did all we could to find her owner back. Winnie’s owner pasted posters in her estate and residents who saw FB alerted the owner that the dog was with the finder. We are very thankful that we were able to locate its owner in less than 24 hours and Winnie was reunited with her family the following day.
On 19 November, we received a call from Leonard, a medical student based at SGH, that he had found a Cocker Spaniel at Outram Road at about 5pm., He then called us for assistance to help him locate the dog’s owner. With the help of Facebook we managed to retrieve some information about what had happened Buddy earlier and how he ended up walking along Havelock Road and then Outram Roadf. Luckily with the help of SPCA we managed to locate Buddy’s owner on Tuesday morning.
During his escapade, Buddy almost got knocked by a car because he wasnt very street smart but we are so thankful that nothing happened to Buddy.
Buddy finally went home on Wednesday evening and received a rousing welcome from all his relatives who came over just to wish him well
We would like to thank Leonard for doing a good deed by stopping to help Buddy and Lina for helping to house him for 2 days.
The importance of micro chipping and licensingOwners, micro chipping is a means to identify your pet and you need to register it with Pet Call and have your dog licensed with AVA. In the event that we find a lost dog, we are able to trace its owners should it possess a microchip . For more details about micro chipping please visit
Pet Call and AVA for licensing.
Rosina will be back in April 2013 to teach Animal Communication in Singapore and July 2013 in Malaysia.
What is exciting for us in 2013, Rosina will be leading a group of volunteers from Singapore to help at the Elephant Sanctuary in Chiangmai. The trip will take place in April – programme and details will be available soon, if you are keen to join us, send us an
email and we will be in touch with you. |
