Elf

pic: very first time i saw him. after being shaved.

Elf has his own story too. He reminds me of snowy. =]

Elf was also from a breeding farm but we did not go and pick him from the farm. A guy sent him and another schnauzer in a van in a box. He sent them to ‘Madam Wong’s shelter’ at pasir ris farm way 2 and there, they shaved him because he was in a total mess. His fur was all dirty, so they had no choice but to shave him down. He was raw pink and needed a home because the shelter does not have the right condition. So dolly called me and asked if we could take him in and we agreed.

He MARKS A LOT! And I mean A LOT. I was so tired of cleaning up every minute after him so we bought him diapers to wear. =] time went by and lots of things happened. We learnt that he doesn’t play with dogs he is not familiar with because he only played with prince. And they played almost EVERYDAY, night and day. Elf would disturb prince so that prince would play with him, they are so cute. So nice to see them play. Then one day, a lady and her husband/boyfriend came to see elf and as about to take elf but alycia found some things went wrong so elf did not go with them in the end…

Then alycia got a call saying someone is interested in elf. The person has 4 children, a maid, her and her husband. They were nice, so they were approved and a week later, elf went with them and became part of their family.

Another SUCCESSFUL adoption. =] hopefully nothing goes wrong!

Lambert

pic: lambert / roy


Lambert is a wonderful dog I would say. He behaves, doesn’t mind cats or other animals can be very quiet unless there is someone outside the door but he didn’t use to at first (I’ll come to that later) and LOVES pats.

His story isn’t a very good one but I’m saying his BACKGROUND. He was once abandoned at a playground but no one knows who left him there. A girl which was in secondary that year took him home and cared for him. But because of financial problems at home, she could not buy proper dog food or chews for lamb to eat. So lamb had survived on rice, carrot and something else those years. But the girl really loved him and lamb returned the love. In her house, they didn’t like lamb to bark, lamb was hiding at a corner when Ana and Terrence went to visit. He didn’t bark, he didn’t come out or even make a sound. At first Ana thought, is this a joke? There isn’t any dog! But later they saw lamb, he was scared… lamb had to look for another home because her mother does baby day-care and the baby’s mother does not want a dog in the house so lamb had to go or they would not have business and next, he came to my house.

Yes, he is a quiet boy till the day he learns from prince to bark when there is someone outside. And his bark is LOUD. =] but that is the way a dog should be, to protect the house and be alert. Ana was happy with lamb and weeks went by… prince and lamb did not play, infect, prince did not like Lambert. No one knows why, only prince. One day, Celina took Lambert over to try if lamb could go with rusky (that was before Celina got snowy*) but things did not turn out well because rusky did not like Lambert… so Lambert was returned to us. And soon, a lady called to say she wants to try lamb with her cat but it turned out bad too… her cat does not like lamb thought lamb was OK with the cat… poor lamb...

But his day came like everybody’s, S told Ana and Terrence that he wants to try lamb out so we met at home and he saw and played with lamb. He liked Lambert and everything was good, so that day, lamb went home with him and NEVER came back. Everything went GOOD, we went to visit them one day and lamb was afraid that Ana would take him away so he hid beside his owners. That’s so nice… it shows that they love lamb and lamb loves them. I’m so happy for Lambert. =]

They have changed his name to Roy and they have trained him to go to the toilet after walks to wash his legs… how sweet… a happy ending is a good ending. =D

LAMBERT HAS FOUND GOOD HOME!
Special thanks to all that have took care of him and helped some way or another. ^^

Snowy

Elfie left and we didn't hear anymore news..
But he should be fine.

After, I forget when... , Terrence called and said they are saving dogs from a breeding farm and asked if we could help foster ( or maybe it's the other way round?.. sis is in charge so I’m not sure.). He was known as a 'white terrier', he was thin, with jelly legs that do not want to walk or climb the stairs, and had heart worms. We had to carry him around, up and down the stairs. Prince did not like snowy very much at first but they grew to be good friends. Sis and mum went to the breeding farm that time to pick snowy and there were around 3 other beagles that time too looking for homes (but ALL found good homes. =]) soon, snowy’s body build up, strong and he learns to play, prince and snowy then played a lot and became good friends. =]

Weeks later, Ben and yeo called Terrence and said they were interested in snowy so Terrence said OK, they will meet snowy and will see how things go and if they likes snowy. At first, they told Terrence that they do not have any other dog so snowy will be the only dog, but the day when they came to my place to see snowy, they had just adopted another dog from SPCA… we were quite upset about that.. I can’t say if they did a good job or a bad one, because after about a month, they said they can’t keep snowy and needs to find other home for snowy. So I took him back.

This time, things were really great. He really melted my heart… he use to jump around and go crazy when we were preparing his food but now he just sits around. He plays with prince like he did, but this one thing that made me really love him so much is that when we were about to sleep, he came up the bed and slept with me. Right beside me, I patted him and just watched him falling asleep. Somehow, this love just came… but we being together only lasted for one night… the next day, we had a carnival and Celina (one of the volunteers too) took snowy home for trail-adoption. And she have adopted him, I was really sad… I had wished that we could keep snowy but as time goes by, I’m letting go this hope. Because I know it will be better if he stays there, and is well loved and cared for. And more dogs that needs a temporary home can come. =]

SNOWY HAS FOUND A GOOD HOME!
special thanks:
-Ben and yeo for taking care of snowy for that one month and changing him.
-Celina for giving him a home
-Terrence and Ana for finding the home for him.
-Me and my family for helping to take in snowy when he needs. ^^

Elfie

elfie is our first fostered dog.
his story is :
we had wanted to foster another dog called indy ( an ebony pup )
http://homelessinseletar.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
so sis had asked terrence about her but someone has already helped foster, so terrence asked sis if we could take in a jack russel terrier, named elfie. terrence warned us that elfie is a very barky dog and really he is.

i forgot when, we took elfie over from terrence, elfie was not very nice smelling or something so we bathed him. and let him air and enjoy the breeze. prince was not home, i brought him out. so when i brought prince home, he seems a little surprised? they did not really care about each other.. at least elfie did not.. so we tried putting them together, they were alright at first but elfie did not really like prince so we took prince out. and decides they can't stay together.

so elfie stayed in my sis's, bro's and my room, and prince the other parts. things was well. elfie barks A LOTS night and day, even more if there is other people in the house. elfie isn't those that likes men, so he did not like my brother at first but was fine after awhile. he pulls on the leash and is quite strong, the only trouble with the two dogs is that they cannot walk to together so we can only walk one at a time.. but luckily we were on holiday and sis is home to help me. =]

one day, someone called to say she wants to try elfie, terrence agreed so we let her. so at night, she and her friends came to take elfie. my dad's and my first impression on her wasn't good, she smokes, and looks 'ah lian' but i can't say no since she is already there.. she kept telling me she will be fine and she had experence in dogs. but all went wrong..

after a few days.. not very long.. maybe only a day or two.. she messaged and said she does not want elfie, she can't hander him. i was at my friend's house so i asked my friend, D, if she could fetch me to the person's house to get elfie and she agreed to help. ( thanks! =] ) when we reached, I saw the person and she saw me too so we walked over to meet them. D then saw one of her friend holding a cane, and impressions went even worst. so they passed the things over and after a while if chat, D send me home.

( some other occasion, i was with my friend viewing puppies lokoing for home and we , D and I saw the person again. D quickily told the owner about the cane and some other things so the owner told the person she won't be letting them adopt her pups. )

things went fine/well and it was time for elfie to go back to his original fosterer and our story ends. elfie is still up for adoption, if i'm not wrong.. you can find his contact and others on ASD's web. =]

elfie :

• barky
• cute
• does not like putting on harness
• does not like being carried

ELFIE IS STILL UP FOR ADOPTION. ( it will be better if you have had a dog before and don't mind TONS of barks or hopefully train him. =] )

Prince

very first pic

prince is our VERY first dog.

we got him last year. sister and I had wanted a dog for years.
so one fine day, sis and I chat and looked on the web and decides we shall have a dog! that very year. we are tired of waiting..? =D
so we kept a long out for dogs. sis had wanted a schnuazer or west highland terrier.
one day, i was at SPCA and saw a notice on someone wanting to rehome their west highland terrier. so i quickly told sis and we messaged the person.
the person and i chatted and i told her we will ask our parents before we confirm that we will take the westie.
so that night, sis and i asked mum about it. we debated and mum AGREED! the joy in us was GREAT. =] then, it came to the name.
at that time, his name was Sparky and sis didn't like it so we had to choose another name.
we said lots of different names, and i said " prince? " and it's SET. ^^
on saturday / sunday. ( i forgot.. ) on some day of october.. ( i forgot again.. =X )we met the previous owner at the park nearby our house.

we met them somewhere near the playground. prince looked different from in the picture, we did not love him at first sight. =] we pat him, asked about prince and lots more.
we walked prince and the next moment, he is in our house setting in.
and stayed and be loved and love. =]
so far, so great. life is well with my darling, and my whole family loves him LOTS.

PRINCE IS VERY MUCH PART OF MY FAMILY! =D
