Helping animals have no boundaries

14 March 2017

Yesterday, we published our Tri-Paws (click link here) at Noah’s Ark Natural Animal Shelter (NANAS) and shared how happy they have adapted. This morning we received a few messages and emails from both Singaporeans and Malaysians asking if we could help a disabled dog in distress located at a car park near AEON Bukit Indah. Many wrote in because they were worried for the dog's welfare and the “Street is not his home” and it was not a place for a disabled dog.

Appealing for help.

Sharon and Chia Hwei, Noah’s Ark Angels went to Bukit Indah to check on the dog. They managed to locate the dog and brought it to the sanctuary for immediate medical aid. After some observation and a physical examination, conclusively it was an old injury that he sustained much earlier had led to the paresis of his hind limbs and calcification of his fractured legs the trauma has led to this condition. He is neutered and looking at his condition we can conclude that he was cared for and dumped for some reasons which is hard of an animal lover to comprehend.

We noticed that this is quite common for dogs or cats to get dumped on the streets by their owners when the pet meets with a car accident. Owners refused to send the pet to the vet for treatment for obvious reasons – they conveniently dump the pet and let it wait for a slow death, while the pet has to look for food or get attacked by feral dogs.

We have met owners with accident victims before, when we asked, “How did your dog meet with an accident?”. Their reply is: “Oh, I let my dog out of the house to pee and to go for a walk on its own.” This is the ONE of the most common reply.

We have named it “Grayson”, if you wish to support his medical aid and welfare:

Featuring the Awesome Tri-Paws of NANAS

Please do not feel sorry for them.  They are very happy being the way they are.  Dogs do not feel sorry for themselves because of their disabilities.  They pick themselves up and get on with their lives.  We have so much to learn from them.

Many of these animals were victims of road traffic accidents and had to have one of their limbs amputated.  After surgery, the sanctuary is the perfect place for rehabilitation and recovery.  They regain their confidence and mobility very quickly with the constant exercise they get running free in a safe and stress-free environment. 

Do not underestimate these tri-paws!  Try catching them!  They can even run faster than their four-legged friends.

At NANAS, these dogs get a second chance to live out their lives with dignity in a safe haven, away from traffic and bad humans who had abused and abandoned them.  They consider this place a heaven on earth and never ever want to go back to the streets again.

If you can help them stay at the sanctuary, please consider sponsoring one or more of these amazing canines at only S$50 / RM150 per month.

It will not just help the animal you sponsor but also pay for monthly operational costs of running the sanctuary.  Food, medical costs and daily necessities form the bulk of the costs so every dollar counts.

Our awesome tri-paws need your help

	Ariel I arrived at the sanctuary when I was only 2 months old.  Some very naughty children tied my legs with rubber bands and my legs turned gangrene.  One leg could not be saved so it was amputated.  It’s OK as I got to stay in this wonderful place with my new friends away from those kids.
	Bond My name is Bond. I was hit by a car and my owner did not want to pay for the surgery.  Instead, he wanted to put me to sleep.  I was only 18 months old and had so much to live for.  Thank goodness I escaped death and arrived at NANAS where they performed the operation and saved my life.
	Lok Lok A kind soul rescued me because she was afraid that I might not survive my injuries.  By the time I got to the clinic, they found that the bones had already fused so nothing could be done.  Thank God for the angel who saved me but now I need another angel to help me stay here.
	Yankee I was a victim of an accident and dumped outside a shelter.  Luckily, I was referred to Noah’s Ark and they helped me with my horrific injuries.  My left hind leg could not be saved so it had to be amputated.  After that, I received therapy and very soon I could run around. I love it here!
	Wong Tai I was rescued after an accident but spent my time in a cage at a shelter.  Not being able to stand or walk, my muscles wasted.  Then, this nice lady saw me and brought me to the sanctuary.  I no longer live in a cage and have lots space to move around.  I like living here.  Please help me stay!
	Bianco They named me Bianco and say that I am a very sweet dog.  I really am and I love following the visitors to the stables to visit the horses.  I used to live on the streets but got hit by a vehicle.  Thank goodness the street angels saved me.  So what if I lost a leg.  They let me stay here.
	Zena Hi!  I am Zena and I am a German Shepherd.  When I was still a puppy, I got hit by a car.  My owner brought me to the vet but never came back because he did not want to pay for my surgery. I am so glad I found a home at the sanctuary.  Please help me to help them with the work they do.
	Lordy I was dumped and left on the street to die.  With a fractured front leg and a dislocated hind leg, I could not move.  How could my owner do this and leave me to die a slow and painful death?  A passerby saw me and called Noah’s Ark.  The rest is history.  These people really do good work!
	Emperor I am the victim of yet another accident.  Why are there so many bad drivers out there?  Do you know how much I suffered when I was knocked down?  I was the lucky one to be rescued.  So many dogs have died.  Losing a leg was fine. I am just happy to be here.

The Street is Not Her Home

For the last 13 years, Mandy has been living on the streets at a heavy vehicle park since she was a puppy. She was well cared for by her guardian YM who was a foreign worker, working at the vehicle park.

Recently YM’s contract ended and he had to leave his workplace. YM has been a responsible caregiver, he ensured that Mandy had her annual vaccinations and when she was unwell, he brought her to the vet. Mandy met with an accident twice - her right hind leg has a plate to hold her bones and she also injured her right front leg. She is able to walk but with a limp.

Noah’s Ark Natural Animal Shelter (NANAS) got to know about Mandy’s plight and offered her a place to stay at the sanctuary, we strongly felt that Mandy deserves a home and place to retire with dignity. We could not let her continue living on the streets – what if something happens to her again?

Mandy will be making her journey to NANAS soon and we look forward to welcoming her HOME.

Will You Be My Valentine?

Shoba and Lordy, both were dumped
on the streets by their owners.

Do you know what it is like to be neglected, abused or abandoned by the people who are supposed to be looking after you?

The animals at NANAS know this all too well. 

At Noah’s Ark Natural Animal Shelter (NANAS), our mission is to give animals that have been abused, abandoned or made homeless a second chance in having proper food, water, shelter and medical attention when needed to happily live out the rest of their lives with dignity.

The sanctuary which is home to 700 dogs, 300 cats, 9 horses, 4 primates, a wild boar and other small animals is not funded by the government or any organisation.  We depend on the generosity of the public for our monthly operational costs.

These animals are asking for your help.  Many of them had been rescued but they need you to help sponsor their stay at the sanctuary.

Will You Be My Valentine?

Missy

Someone tied both my hind legs with rubber bands.  I can no longer use my legs but am happy that I am now safe and living with my friends at the cattery.  

Will you be my valentine?

Pebbles

I was rescued from the street in Malacca but now treated as a princess.  Still looking for my prince.  

Are you the one?

Emperor

I was involved in an accident, lost one leg and looking forward to your support!

Fancy

I am a special dog.  I live in the cattery with a whole bunch of cats and another dog called Jasmine.  

Do you fancy me?

Juvi

My owner gave me up because I had skin problems.  I have a new purpose now.  They call me Nurse Juvi as I “work” in the clinic.  

I comfort the patients when they are afraid.  

Will you help me continue my work?

Natalie

I was the sole survivor of a litter of puppies. My mummy was nowhere to be found and I was left to die on the street.  

Luckily, I was rescued but I really need your help to sponsor for my stay at this wonderful place.

Sheena

My name is Sheena and I am a Great Dane.  I don’t know why my owners gave me up when I was only 9 months old.  Maybe I got too big?  

Which part of Great Dane did they not understand?

Shiro

I came all the way from Singapore. My people there did not appreciate me and I was very badly treated.  

I have very special marking on my forehead, be my Valentine and I will show it to you.

Teddy

I am a Jack Russell Terrier.  

My owner gave me up when she bought a much bigger dog to look after the house.  

What did I ever do to deserve this?  

Will you be my valentine?

Wendy

I was rescued as puppy but I could not find my forever home.  Maybe it is because I am black.  

Please give this sweet girl someone to love.

Gerry

My owner thought she bought a Vietnamese Pot Bellied Pig but to her surprise I kept growing so she had to give me up when I reached a staggering 
300 kg.  

Can you help me with my food costs?

Mocha

I was hit by a car and some people found me and brought me to the sanctuary.  

I was allowed to stay as I lost a limb.  

I will make a great valentine!
