Blake

Blake (Not HDB Approved)

* Local crossbreed, Male, 2 years old
* Sterilised, Vaccinated, Microchipped
* Moderate energy, timid, slow to warm up, grass trained

An act of human cruelty, Blake was found with two huge fish hooks deeply embedded in his legs, causing his legs to swell from a severe infection. That was when he was 6 months old.

Blake is a gorgeous dog and extremely sweet natured. He will take time to trust but once he opens up, you can be assured he'll be your best friend for life! 



Charlotte 
Charlotte  (HDB Approved Under Project ADORE)

*Local crossbreed, Female, 8 months old
* Sterilised, Vaccinated, Microchipped  
* Extremely sociable, affectionate and well behaved
* Excellent with young children and dogs


Charlotte is a female dog of about 8 months old. She is an exotic looking crossbreed and we reckon she might have some Collie blood in her. Her coat is an unusual shade of chocolate, shiny and lovely, fluffy ears that you would be tempted to make into a ponytail.

Charlotte is vaccinated, sterilized, microchipped and in perfect health. She weighs 9kg and could afford to put on another kilo or so. Her height is 38cm, thus making her approved for HDB living.
Charlotte was found tied at a HDB multi-storey car park together with her another dog, a poodle mix. They were both skinny and malnourished when found. A passer-by took them to a nearby grooming shop whereby the kind owner took them in thinking that the owners had left them at the car park temporarily. He provided them with food and lodging after no one came to claim them. 

Charlotte is presently with a home foster, learning to walk on leash, and to overcome her fear of sudden noises and movements. She is extremely sociable, affectionate and well-behaved. She gets on terrifically with other dogs and young children.

We are now looking for a permanent home for Charlotte and her new family needs to have lots of kindness and patience for her considering that she had an awful start in life. Her ideal home would be with another calm older dog who could help show her the ropes and a very patient family who would love, guide and nurture this darling.



Kate

Kate (HDB Approved Under Project ADORE)

Local crossbreed, Female, 4+ years old
* Sterilised, Vaccinated, Microchipped  
* Calm, gets on extremely well with kids and other dogs
* Grass trained

Our little one eyed cow.

Kate was the victim of an accident that left her right eyeball popping out of her socket and jaw fractured in two places. She was found cowering in fear and blood dripping from her horrific eye wound. It took more than an hour to catch her and send her to the vet. In great pain and fear, she tried to run and hide away from her rescuers. Thankfully, she was caught and sent to the vet. After her eyeball was removed, she had to be tube fed for almost 2 months while her jaw healed slowly.

Kate is now fully recovered and a sweet girl who loves the sun, grass and food! She is playful, yet calm. She loves to run around the garden but she isn’t overly excitable. She is calm and matured, not jittery. She is great with young children and other dogs, although cats aren’t her best friends. She is a fuss-free dog and perfect for first time pet owners or if you have senior dogs, as she won’t drive your elderly dogs nuts as she isn’t a high energy dog. She loves her food, treats and can chew on her chewies for hours!

Honestly, we are surprised this sweetie is still waiting for a home. She has the perfect temperament and in the pink of health, all she needs is love, daily hugs and kisses! Are you the one Kate is waiting for?


Elmo


Elmo (HDB Approved Under Project ADORE) 
*Special Needs Dog

* Breed currently unknown, Male, slightly over a year old
* Small sized, grass trained
* Low energy, spends most of his days sleeping
* Deaf and blind possibly from neglect 

Elmo was found wandering on the street, all skin and bones. He was so malnourished and dehydrated that all his fur had fallen off and his skin was rough like sandpaper.

However with a bit of love and care, Elmo has now gained weight and his fur is growing back. Elmo is almost totally blind and deaf but he learns to adapt to his surroundings. He loves to nap in the cool breeze and enjoys the presence of his human companions. Copes well with a fixed routine.


SiDa

SiDa

*Special Needs Dog

* Local crossbreed, Female, 2+ years old
* Sterilised, Vaccinated, Microchipped
* Moves about with her wheelchair, incontinent

Sida is a victim of a hit and run. She was trying to get away from an oncoming truck when it hit her, its back wheels of the truck rolling over her back, crushing her spine completely, leaving her sadly paralysed. 

However with the love that her previous caretaker and current foster have given her, she has fought hard to survive this incident, She is very affectionate to humans loves being in their company.



Asher
Asher (Not HDB Approved)

* Local crossbreed, Male, 8 months old
* Calm and affectionate

Asher (Previously known as Mishka) was rescued together with his brother when they were both just 6 weeks old. At 6 weeks old, Asher and his brother had already known a world of pain when we found them with deep maggot wounds all over their bodies.

Fortunately, they have both made a full recovery from their horrific injuries. A well behaved young dog, Asher is great with kids and also a very excitable and playful pup! While Asher’s brother has been adopted, Asher is still waiting for someone to give him a forever home. Could you make him as happy as his brother?


Walter

Walter (HDB Approved Under Project ADORE)

* Local crossbreed, Male, 2.5 years old
* Sterilised, Vaccinated, Microchipped 
* Moderate energy, loves runs, grass trained

Walter was found abandoned and tied to a park bench at Woodlands park. Left overnight, he was finally discovered by joggers the next day and they called HOPE in.

Walter is sociable and gets on with most dogs. He has never ever stepped into a home and has been living in commercial boarding since we rescued him about 11 months ago. We hope that Walter will find a patient and loving family to love and care for him for the rest of his life.



Cassie 

Cassie (Not HDB Approced) 

Local crossbreed, Female, 1 year old
* Sterilised, Vaccinated, Microchipped  
* calm yet playful, obedient, pee pad / paper trained
* Excellent with children and dogs
* Preference to be rehomed to a household with dogs

Found with a huge maggot wound around her neck, Cassie had been living her life in fear. She trembled whenever anyone even went close to her and dared not even sniff at the most tantalizing treats. Her external wound healed after 6 weeks, but emotionally, she was still a wreck. She never let her guard down and cowered when anyone even went close. When she is frozen in fear, she defecates and pees in fear.

After just 3 months of patience, Cassie is finally emerging from her cocoon. Cassie loves liver and treats, but not baths. She gets along well with other dogs and thrives in their presence. She takes comfort being with other dogs and should be rehomed to a household with dogs. She has no food aggression and enjoys human interaction. We are currently teaching her to walk on a leash and she is improving each day in leaps and bounds. Although it will take a while, we are confident Cassie will finally learn how to let her guard down and enjoy her life as only a dog can!

In her eyes, you will see sadness and worry. Will you erase it and put a smile on her cute little face?


SEE YOU THERE!!
