Shelter Updates aka A Plea for Help!

Dear Loyal Fans of Canine Pal,

Do accept our sincere apologies for not getting in touch with you in this blog lately in regards to the updates of dogs at the shelter.

Due to our busy work commitments - PS: the volunteers @ Canine Pal are all holding full time jobs. We need to juggle work and physically attending to the many dogs that had unfortuately, fallen ill were seriously, no joke! sigh... :(

At the same time, it was also a stressful period for us as we had to overcome the painful loss of our two lovely dogs, Jia Jia in Jun and Fu Fu in July respectively.

Recently, Rabbit, the dog that was rescued off Sungei Kadut industrial estates had been showing signs of ear hematoma - a firm, fluid-filled swelling within his ears. Previously, Big Mac @ 大麦 had shown similar symptons but had thankfully, recovered.

Last week, Nappy had continuous nose bleed which was quite extensive and required the intervention of the vet to stop the bleeding. It was alarming and pretty scary since we were all novices when it come to nose bleed! He was discharged from clinic and is now happily back at the shelter.

Dot Dot was unwell for a while but he has now been eating. Hopefully, he puts on more weight in time to come. Or could he been awaiting the arrival of his female owner whom had cruelly abandoned him? We are not certain but praying hard that one day, she would be able to reunite with this lovely boy.

Lately, Bear Bear and a couple of the dogs had skin problems which we are still monitoring. If the need arises, we will have to send them in to the vet for a thorough checkup to determine the cause of the underlying problem.

Meanwhile, we sincerely appeal for kind sponsors to help defray the cost to meet the needs of the above so that we can continue to help more needy strays. :)

Our WISH list:
1) Dry/canned food

2) Transportation of dogs to the vet.

3) Doggy medical bills - payment directly to the clinic.

4) Cremation fees of a dog's remain - payment directly to the cremation company.

5) Spending quality time with the dogs during the wkends at the shelter.

In turn, we would be glad to acknowledge your kind contributions by publishing your names in our blog and Facebook as an appreciation for your kindness and participation.

Drop us an email canine_pal@yahoo.com.sg to inform us.

PS: Due to our busy work commitments and juggling with the sick dogs in the shelter, we might not be in time to constantly update in this blog. However, please rest assure that we strive to continue bringing you daily updates in our Facebook via iphone.

If you have yet to add us as a friend in Facebook, do search under "Canine Pal" to simply connect with us will do.

Lastly, on behalf of the dogs at Canine Pal, a big "THANK YOU" for your kind generosity, time and continuous support for the strays!

God bless you in the meantime, take care and till then...

~we can do no great things, only small things with great L♥VE~

Fox

Fox was sterilised and brought back safety to shelter due to the opening of a new expressway. She was rescued together with Girl 1 and Girl 2.

A sociable dog that is good with dogs and humans, we wish that she could have a home soon. Do email us if you are keen to view this girl. :)

Zoom Zoom

Zoom Zoom was brought in by the workers from a completed construction project to the expressway (under construction) where we brought her back safety to the shelter since the workers had to return back to their country as the last project has ended and could no longer care for her.

FF Black Mum

A very gentle mum whom gave birth to some puppies and subsequently brought in for sterilisation and back to shelter.

Phuket

Phuket is also one of the strays whom we rescued from the expressway. A "Ba Ba" lookalike, sometimes, we ended up calling the wrong name when both stood together!

A lovely and cheerful gal who is good with dogs and human.

Do give her a chance to be adopted.

Moo Moo

Moo Moo is the daughter of Moo Moo bull, where both had given birth many times! The unfortunate thing was when Moo Moo bull was knocked down by a heavy vehicle and Moo Moo was left alone to fend for herself.

Hence, we decided that it was time for us to do something to help the lone Moo Moo. After many attempts of trapping and YES! including tranquilization, we finally caught her whilst she was drowsy and brought her in for sterilisation. PHEW!

Moo Moo has been with us since then and she is quite a senior as at to date. Sometimes, she still behaves like a little puppy wagging her tail, this chubby and sweet gal!

Drop us an email if you wish to visit her.

Xiao S @ 小 S

小 S is a loveable and independent gal whom does not get into any fights in the shelter. She has nice temperament and good with dogs and humans.

Lovely Janice - For Adoption!

A newly rescued pup with sweet temperament and even knows basic commands like "sit" & "hand," we bet she will grow up to be an intelligent canine.

Do give this sweet gal a chance and a home to call her own!

Strictly meant for sincere and genuine adopters, please email Metta Cats at mettacatsg@gmail.com for more details.

4 Seasons - Spring + Summer + Autumn + Winter (春夏秋冬)

4 Seasons that comprise of Spring + Summer + Autumn + Winter (春夏秋冬), is the last batch of puppies whom we rescued from the expressway last year.

At first sight, they are extremely shy dogs and will run away when being approached.

Once they know you well, they will be friendly yet gentle to human touch! :)

Duster

Duster was rescued off Sembawang Park. He loves to be "sayang" and will tailgate us around the shelter.

A sociable dog with nice temperament, he will make a lovely pet.

Give him a chance. Do email us to arrange for viewing.

Sweetest Sausage

Dec 2002 - 24 Mar 2010

A shock to many of us as he did not display signs of sickness at all.

He was buried together with one of the strays found dead along the expressway.

*Hugs* and we always ♥ you...

Lovely Maltese - Happily Adopted!

Please give this sweet boy a good home.

Due to work commitments, his owner is unable to spend quality time and care for him. Hence, had to eventually put him up for adoption.

He might be a little senior BUT we trust that age is not a problem when it comes to offering a home to lovely boy, a maltese with nice temperament.

Strictly meant for sincere and genuine adopters, please contact Michelle at 9238 3278 for more details.

Updates as at 17 April 10:

Beloved maltese has found a good home. A big "Thank You" to those who have responded to this ad.

Popeye

A close-up of Popeye's height... He weighs a heavy 23kg in Jun 09!

Popeye was rescued at Pan Island Expressway. Hence given the name Popeye or PIE for short.

Don't be deceived by his looks as he is still a puppy despite his size!

Extremely playful, a small boy at heart.

Good with humans and dogs.

Sweetest Star

Star with his E-collar dated 5 Dec 09.

Fresh wounds can be prominently seen on his body.

Star is suffering from skin cancer. This is the second or third time in which he had to return back to the vet to stitch up his wounds.

According to the vet, he might not have sufficient skin to "patch" back his wounds as fresh new wounds would re-surfaced again which are quite common for a dog with skin cancer.

Thankfully, his cancer will not spread to other dogs which is a relief to us. We are hoping that something could be done to help Star overcome this stage in life.

We bet he must be feeling sad and frequent trips to the vet is an extremely painful experience for him.

Praying for a miracle... *sigh*

Updates: Beloved Star has passed away on 20 Dec 09.

Sweetest Lucky

Photo dated 11 Oct 09

Our beloved Lucky passed away this afternoon. A well-behaved dog by nature, we were sad to see him leave the motherly earth today.

We hope he will be able to join his other canine friends in their rainbow world.

RIP Lucky, Thank U for being such a good boy. We always ♥ you! :)

Sungei Kadut Canines

Mr Tiger

Rabbit

Hearty Paw

3 newly-rescued dogs from Sungei Kadut.

One of them were Tiger - Summer's son whom was adopted by the factory years ago but was returned back as they received a letter from the authority on the removal of all the dogs in their premises.

Sometimes, we wish to be more callous yet seeing how well-behaved they were at the factory.. we couldnt bear the thought to leave them behind.

Eventually, we rescued two more dogs which belongs to the factory prior to rescuing Tiger as they could no longer care for them... *sigh*

PS: Summer and Tea (Family of Tiger) whom are both in the safe arms of the angels in heaven, please bless and watch over your beloved canine friends whom desperately needs help on earth.
