NANAS First Fund Raising Dinner: 25 November 2016

This was a night to remember! 

It was the first fundraising dinner by NANAS Singapore ever since it’s inception in July 2016. Vernon Cornelius and guest singer, Angelita Li from Hong Kong together with the live band did a fantastic job not only performing evergreen favourites during dinner but also granting requests from the audience and raising funds for the animals at NANAS at the same time. 

We wish to thank all our supporters for attending the event and for making it a success. Many thanks to the donors for their contributions as well as the sponsors for our raffle prizes. Every bit counts and the funds raised were enough to cover the food costs and other expenses for the sanctuary for the month of September. 

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Christmas Cookies by The Barkery



Message from Shiro

Help Shiro and his friends grant their Christmas wishes by ordering cookies from The Barkery Singapore.

For every order made, The Barkery Singapore will donate 25% towards the shelters all for a good cause helping animals.


Closing date for orders: 31 December 2016

From the bottom of all the animals hearts, thank you.

Shiro's Tale
Shiro was ill treated by his ex owner in Singapore and we tried rehoming for several months and was unsuccessful because some people found him too old, he didn't have the looks and he walked funny with a cow hock legs.
Shiro is a lucky dog to be given a 2nd chance at the sanctuary and Noah's Ark has been his forever home for the past 14 months.

If you get to know him, he is a super duper sweet nature boy and some days he does behave like a BIG BABY.  He does not like injections, if he does get one, he will cry loudly.

If you visit the sanctuary, do say "Hi" to Shiro - he stays at the main house.

Mickey & Pluto are now living at Noah’s Ark


Mickey (second from left) and Pluto (second from right)
hanging out with their new friends.

Mickey and Pluto were two guard dogs living in a factory which was in the process of closing its operations.  Having outlived their usefulness, they would most probably be left behind to fend for themselves.  This is a very common scenario during difficult economic times.

Taking Action
Hearing about the plight of these two dogs, Roger and Christine, at their own expense, engaged a security guard to feed and look after the dogs at the empty facility while they searched for a long-term solution to provide for the dogs.  They wrote to many rescue groups in Singapore but to no avail so they turned to Noah’s Ark Natural Animal Sanctuary (NANAS) in Johor which took up the case.

Having paid for the health checks at the vet, they also sponsored the dogs’ journey to NANAS.  They continued to help with monthly contributions for the dogs under the Noah's Ark sponsorship programme and made it a point to visit the dogs at NANAS whenever there was a public tour.  More importantly, Roger and Christine are committed to the care of the dogs even after Noahs Ark took up the case.

Mickey

Pluto


Commitment and Responsibility
So what does it actually take to save an animals life?  Aside from having compassion and making that one phone call, it takes commitment and responsibility.  Rescue groups depend largely on volunteers.  When someone reports a case to us, the work does not stop there.  It is only just the beginning.

Roger and Christine were not able to keep the dogs because of their existing pet commitments but that did not stop them from giving the two dogs another shot at life.  It was inhumane to leave them to fight for their own fate. 

They could not turn a blind eye but instead were committed and changed the lives of these two dogs.  Mickey and Pluto would never have had a new lease of life in NANAS if WORDS did not turn into ACTION. 


One persons action can turn another’s life into a better one.  We cannot thank Roger and Christine enough for their commitment to save the lives of these two dogs and for continuing their journey with them.

You Can Also Help Us To Help Them
Rescue work is never easy and that is the reason why we need your help so we can help these unfortunate animals.  If you are able to contribute in any way to our cause, please contact us at nanassporea@gmail.com.

Khang Khang's plight - slashed by a man wielding a parang

Khang Khang - after the attack by the abuser
and before he was brought to the
 animal clinic in Melaka.

14-Oct-16
Khang Khang was slashed by a man wielding a parang on a motorbike at Taman Malim Jaya, Melaka. When the first blow struck, Khang Khang was so stunned that he shat and peed on the spot, giving the sadist a second chance to slash him again. That shook him up and he ran away leaving a trail of blood behind him.

Khang Khang became a stray 2 months ago. He had an owner. She died from a sudden stroke in a hospital. Overnight he was homeless. Khang Khang depended on the neighbours to feed him.

At the animal clinic in Melaka.
He stayed over night so that he could have
a good's night rest and away from harm.

17-Oct-16
A neighbour and her 4 year old grandson witnessed the attack on Khang Khang. Her daughter contacted us and asked for help as he was in pain and flies were hovering over his wound.

We advised to bring Khang Khang to an animal clinic in Melaka for treatment.  The neighbour also feared for his safety as the abuser was seen "ronda" the Taman, looking for Khang Khang.

When Raymund Wee learnt of Khang Khang's plight, he immediately offered the sanctuary as a permanent home.

Khang Khang was discharged from animal clinic
in Melaka and on the way to a "safe place".

Khang Khang with our volunteer in Melaka.
He knew he was going to a safe place.

to send him to the sanctuary.

About 2 weeks later, Khang Khang's wounds were healing.

When Your Pets Outlive You - Happy Ending


Remember Aunty Jennie travelled 3 over hours from Seremban to Noah's Ark Natural Animal Shelter to visit her dogs?
10 years ago at the age of 68 Aunty Jennie packed her belongings and moved to Malaysia with her 7 rescued dogs which she raised as puppies from the streets of Singapore.
When I asked her why did she move to Malaysia?
She said that they could not stay in the apartment because they were getting bigger and she feared that neighbours will complain.
However, things did not turn out as well as it would be when she moved to Malaysia. Neighbours started to complain that her dogs were noisy. In order for her dogs to be with her and NOT wanting to give up the dogs she had to debark the dogs.
Before you criticise her for debarking the dogs - please ask yourself if you were in her situation which option would you choose? Especially when one is so far away from home and all alone with no support from family and friends - she has no other choice.
(A) To rehome the dogs and not knowing how your dogs will be treated and the dogs will NOT have the same love given by you?
OR
(B) To debark the dogs and to be with them for the rest of their life?
If I had to pick one, I will choose option (B) because I rather have my fur kids with me till their last breathe then to be away from them.
Ten years have passed and 4 dogs have passed on. Two months ago, Aunty Jennie had to downgrade from renting a house to renting a room, she approached Noah's Ark Natural Animal Shelter for help if we could take on her dogs.
After considering her appeal and her age, we accepted her three dogs and made Noah's Ark their forever home.
We were also concern for Aunty Jennie who is now 78 and living alone so that she can have a peace of mind that her dogs are taken care off.
As much as we would like to save every dog or cat on the streets, we can't take in and save all animals.
Noah's Ark Natural Animal Shelter's Mission is to help single seniors who are living alone and to help their pets in case anything happens to them. And our priority is to provide shelter for animals who have abused and with disabilities.

When there is a WILL there's a WAY


Sunday, 23 Oct 2016, it was the first time that I met Aunty Jennie, she's 78 years old and she traveled 4 hours on the bus from Seremban, Malaysia to Noah's Ark Natural Animal Shelter in Johor to visit her dogs.
When there is a WILL there's a WAY.
This shows true determination and dedication for her dogs.
I salute Aunty Jennie for making that journey on her own.
Stay tune for Aunty Jennie's story.

Updates at Noah's Ark Natural Animal Shelter: October 2016

13 October 2016

Dear Friends of NANAS

Noah's Ark Natural Animal Shelter (NANAS) is no longer affiliated to Noah's Ark CARES

It has come to our attention that some of our donors are not aware thatNoah's Ark Natural Animal Shelter (NANAS) which runs the animal sanctuary in Johor, Malaysia is now a separate entity from Noah's Ark CARES in Singapore.

Both entities, their operations and fundraising initiatives, were separated in June 2016.
  • A new entity, Noah's Ark Natural Animal Shelter (NANAS) in Singapore was formed on 27 July 2016 for the purpose ofcontinuing our rescue operations in Singapore as well as forraising funds for shelter operations in Malaysia.
  • Noah's Ark CARES is solely based in Singapore.
  • Noah's Ark CARES no longer funds the operations in Malaysia with effect from June 2016. 
A new bank account has been opened for NANAS Singapore.
All donations, sponsorship and boarding fees for the animals at the animal sanctuary in Johor, Malaysia should be paid into this new account.

We thank you for your continuing support of our work and for being there when we needed help in this critical transition period.  In the meantime, we wish to update you on our latest rescues from Singapore.


Meet Meowmi, a 10 year old cat who arrived in September 

She belonged to and was cared for by a maid but when her contract ended, she was sent home.  The employer also did not want to keep the cat and was going to put it to sleep. 
Fortunately, Andrew came to know about Meowmi's plight, tried all means to re-home her but failed as she can be quite a handful and difficult to handle.  Most people would also not adopt senior cats so chances of re-homing her was very slim.

At the last resort, Andrew turned to Noah's Ark (NANAS) for help.  We agreed to take the cat because we were satisfied that he had exhausted all means to help the animal.

Andrew has also taken responsibility to look after Meowmi for the rest of her life by sponsoring her stay at the sanctuary.  We applaud him for doing his utmost to ensure that Meowmi be given a second chance.

7 dogs just arrived from a shelter forced to shut down due to rental increase

In December 2015, Raymund Wee, our founder, offered assistance to a shelter in Singapore when he found out that it had to shut down due to operational cost.

The landlord had doubled the rent and refused to budge so the operator of the shelter accepted our offer of help.  She had also told us that she would do her best to re-home as many dogs as possible before her lease expired at the end of September.







Out of a total of 22 dogs, 15 dogs were re-homed.  The remaining 7 dogs were sent to Noah's Ark (NANAS).  These were the ones that were difficult to re-home, especially the black, black and tan and older dogs.

However, these 7 dogs are the lucky ones who are now given a second chance at the sanctuary.  They are very sociable and have happily settled in.  We are sure, that in no time, they will be free to play, roam and run around on the sanctuary grounds.

All expenses incurred were paid for by the shelter operator and her friends which included sterilisation, vaccination, health checks, transportation and documentation fees.


Pets Station Food Donation Drive extended to 31 October

Due to a technical glitch, some of our supporters were not able to place their order for food with the system. Pets Station has kindly extended the food drive till 31 October.

Please note that we have received your orders for September and it will be delivered to the sanctuary together with the October's food drive to save the transport cost to JB.
