Make a BIG Difference	Can't Post

Hi,

It's really good to see dog lovers who put their money where their mouth is and actively help out in any way they can. Last Sunday my partner and I made our very first trip to PAWS. Kinda' got inspired by all you wonderful people out there. Smile

It was both a heart-breaking experience and a heart-warming one. There were lots of adult dogs, most of which were kept in large numbers in an exclosed compound. There were the other dogs who happily roamed around and hid in the shade. We saw a few sad faces peering from behind bars. And then there were the puppies.

The nice old man at the office decided that we'd be safer (or they'd be safer? Laugh

) just giving the pups attention as opposed to cleaning cages and stuff. Wink

The older pups JUMPED out of their cages and literally clung on to us for dear life and putting them back in was a hell of a job!! One can only imagine the lack of attention these pups suffer from. Unsure

Assuming the pups get most of the attention (coz' they are sooooo cute) what more the adult dogs? Unsure

Then we were unfortunate enough to witness a lady giving up her dog, Tiger. He was thin. So thin you could count his ribs. Frown

Oh... And she had the cheek to look around for a new pup while she was there! Mad

So if anyone out there is looking for a mixed breed dog who looks a bit like a GSD please consider Tiger. From what we saw... He deserves better than what he got.

The best part of the visit was seeing a family take home a beautiful black and white pup. If only the rest are just as fortunate.

The trip was a real eye opener and it sure as hell got me thinking... Maybe not all of us are willing to commit and sign up as members. Maybe we aren't all keen on giving up a few hours a week. Time out is indeed a rare commodity these days. But even if it's a once in a while thing those few hours and minutes of our time which we give to these animals makes a world of difference to them. A small effort on our part will make a big difference in their lives. Smile

Have a good day! Smile

Re: [Kowie] Make a BIG Difference [In reply to]	Can't Post

hello kowie

i went to PAWS also last sunday, follow my friend, as she wanted to adopt a dog from there...It is also my first time visit to PAWS.

When i stepped in to the Puppies Section, they were all happy to see me, especially 2 active pups in one cage, both were jumping here and there when saw me..

And then i walk to the bigger dogs the other side, there were 3 big compounds, the female compound, the male compound, and the spayed/neutered compound. The female compound is the nearest... As i approach, few dogs were running towards me in a friendly manner. Some of the dogs even like smiling to me... Some dogs are fighting also, being a bully and being bullied by others....

Then i approach to the back kennel, and there were some dogs there, min pin, spitz mix, 2 ecs-which 1 of them my friend adopted, daschund, and more. the spitz mix and a cute mongrel- mimi, plus the 2 ecs were beautiful. as my friend would shower the dogs, and due to jealously, the spitz mix attack the ecs and in defence, the ecs fought back.. there is nothing we can do as the ecs have to go back in, and the fight only last a while..

i think this is one of the reason why PAWS would not wanna shower the dogs 1 by 1.... If shower in groups, it's just like spraying water of these dogs, and not actually using shampoo.

Dr.Maha is really nice, i approach and asked him bout some dogs details/characterisitics, and he is happy to explain to me..

Then i went over to the cats section. And wow, there were lots of cats for adoption also, and nice/cute/beautiful color also.. And there is a section just for mother cats and kittens.. I think there were like 30-50 cats in one big cage.....

Hi!

It's really a great thing your friend adopted a dog from there. Smile

Saw the ECS, the min pins and the dashund. All look so sad. Glad one of them found a good home. Smile

Hopefully more people will go over to lend a hand so all the animals can get some affection. Smile

HI Kowie,

Well said.... sometimes during working hrs (last time lar) I curi tulang and go to PAWS just for a 30 mins walk with the doggies and give them some belly rubs and some cash donations....

nowdays, I do not go as much as I wud love to.... due to restriction of time and clearing some stuff in my house. Its heart breaking seeing the poor doggies, puppies, kitten and cats there but like u saw, there is some good too when u saw the some of them got adopted at the end of the day.

Frown

Good job girl ! Frown

Yep. Most of them are very cute Smile

and they just seem to be dying to please. How's your friend's new ECS settling in? Smile

Oh... The pic you posted titled "activepups", the lighter coloured one was a bit shy. Dare not come out of the cage but act like damn "terror" in the cage. Laugh

So cute!!!! The other one very, very manja. Smile

Hi!

Hahaha!! Lucky your boss never catch you curi tulang ler.. Tongue

Can see why you did lah. Wink

It's very relaxing to spend time with them yah. Smile

Good way to destress and help out at the same time. Wink

Hmmm... I dunno lah but from what I read, I'm not to keen to give cash donations. Unsure

I'd rather give stuff I know people can't put in their pockets. Wink

Dunno which side to believe and don't intend to get mixed up in the politics of it. Wink

Wanted to take all the dogs home... Blush

hehehehehe, dun think they read the forum now though LOL or else die man.... Sly

curi tulang word there BIG BIG ! not an easy feat curi tulang for 30 minutes but oh well, its time well spend.

As for the money I have donated... not sure what they did with it but gave it with my heart open. There is few times whenever I got those free doggie kibbles packet that is not suitable for my 3 kids, I will keep it and then go to paws and give it to them and let the puppies have a go at those kibbles lor but at times feel sad lar coz not enuf to feed / share with all the pups though.

That is one simple way also collecting kibbles sample from places and bring it over to the pups. Last time always get a lot esp when u go for events, carnival n etc.... otherwise buy some pedigree kibbles lor.

*pertending to be illeterate* Curi tulang??? Where wor??? Angelic

No bad ler can manage 30 mins. Respect! Wink

Yep.. I gave some newspapers, shampoo and chewy treats lah. Even though what we give can't benifit all of the dogs also ok lah since some of them get to enjoy it. Smile

And only the animals get to enjoy it! Tongue

Yeah... Maybe next RDO if they give out samples we can have a donation box for people who don't want the samples and we can recycle them and give the dogs in PAWS. Smile

Better than people take home and their furkids fussy and refuse to eat. But don't know if the sponsors would like it or not... Hahaha! Tongue

Sponsors like or not dunno lar ... but some come and take n take only but dun let the furkids eat or furkids canot eat one... so better give to the needed rather than waste lor.

Sometimes I tak malu during those fairs n etc... i just go n take the samples n bring to PAWS aje.... hehehhee, i figure since they are giving out anyway, no harm letting me take some to help out the doggies in PAWS Frown

Re: [Kowie] Make a BIG Difference [In reply to]	Can't Post

Kowie.. thumbs up for you for making time there...

It is "magical" when you touch the pups and pat on the heads of the big dogs.. spending time, sitting there.. talking to would be adopters for the pups and dogs.., cuddling the pups.. when you do all these things, your heart warmeth and a joy will encompass you all because of LOVE.

Needless to say, it is sad that we can't take all the pups and dogs and so sad to see thier "appealing faces" saying Pse take me home .... but all we could do there is spend time with them and feel for them and of course, donate food,etc etc... and convince ppl to take the pups from there..

I remember one man took a big look like siberian husky back.. i made friend with his daughter and we all just chatted so happily. It was so good to see one furkid adopted after another...

I am looking forward to go there again..

True lah.. but you know lah the sponsor's main aim is you let your furkid try then continue to support their product not for people like us to get one time "support" for their freebies. Blush

Nothing to be malu about what. Wink

It's all for a good cause but of course there will be people who will judge and mistake the reason behind your actions for greed. Unsure

But heck it! Wink

Yep... I think the dogs at PAWS might have more appreciation and savour the treats more than some of our pampered kids. Blush

Ah Kow just gobbles everything down... Dunno whether she even gets a chance to taste the food... Unsure

Everything is like a magic show... *Woosshh* All gone. Unsure

At least Whitie takes time to eat slowly like she's really enjoying it... Maybe that's coz' she had experience from SPCA?

The

is for everyone who has made the effort to go there and contribute. Even more so for those people who have become regular volunteers.

POWERRR!!! Cool

Yeah... Visting there is such a paradox of emotions. Frown

Yes, it seems that experiences like that bring out the best in people. Most of them anyway. Tongue

We're looking forward to going there too. Hopefully can find the time to. Wink

Adopting from a shelter is a wonderful thing. Maybe not everyone realises this. I didn't fully appreciate this until I adopted my furkid from SPCA. Upon reflection I realise no one can completely appreciate the potential amount of love, joy and affection they can bring into our lives. It is only now that I see that I wouldn't be this happy if not for her. Smile

Re: [Kowie] Make a BIG Difference [In reply to]	Can't Post

Dear Kowie..

Well said ! well said! For my two furkids I did not adopt from shelter homes.

The first was just "pushed" to me to take care until the person find a home or rather a mommy.. when I took care I fall in love with the 3 week old puppy.(PIPI) The the "romance" took off from there. It was full of joy and an experience that I will not forget.

The second furkid was adopted by me cos the owner wanted to let him be a stray (just because he wanted to shift to condo and his gf did not want Brownie to follow ) So PIPI and Brownie became brother and sister but now I left with Brownie because PIPI had gone to Rainbow Bridge on june 27th.

That is how I become so committed to doggie world.. It was my PIPI who taught me unconditional and pure love.

Let us all together with others bridge the gap between these lovely furkids be it kittens or dogs to other people who heart have not been touched by this "love".

Re: [PIPIMOM] Make a BIG Difference [In reply to]	Can't Post

My deepest condolences.

I know how hard it is to lose a furkid. Had a few cats move to the 'Rainbow Bridge' myself. Sure cry until there's no more tears to cry. Frown

Can't even bring myself to think about the day my 2 kids make a move there also. Frown

At least you still have Brownie. Smile

You can lavish all your attention on her (or him? Blush

) and in return she/he can do the same. Smile

No worries about fighting for attention or being fair. Wink

My kids always fighting for attention Unsure

and have to be very fair when it comes to giving treats. Smile

Scared the other fella feels left out.

Smile

Yep. It's a wonderful thing to share. Who doesn't love doggie kisses and wagging tails? Smile

Can't forget about the adorable kittens with attitudes too. Wink

Got lar, got support their food stuff also just maybe not kibbles exactly Tongue

but can food got what ! hehehehe

I support them they support me also Wink

some will think: this girl nuts ar .... take so much freebies ... damn kaisu or like u say...so GREEDY one !!!

Mocha tends to be very sensitive to food so I'm more careful in giving her kibbles by different sponsors lor. Couple with I see it as 1 small pack I doubt that can see much differences. Most of the time gotto buy the smallest pack to really try out the kibbles suitability for our furkids.

Wud prefer to keep the sample pack to PAWS ... sikit sikit also got kibbles to makan for the puppies at the very least better than never tried it b4 in their poor life.

Yep. Both my kids also. If the food doesn't agree with their stomach... Die lah me.. Crazy

Lao sai like watery curry. Crazy

True lah.. Can't see and diff until maybe a week or so of changing food. That's how they con us into buying their products. Had experiences where my kids refused to eat.. So whole bag wasted lah. Unsure

Quite a financial risk. Laugh
