How Ah Boy Got Reunited With His Family

On 21 April 2017, NANAS bailed out a Jack Russell Terrier from AVA after the mandatory 2 weeks waiting period for the dog to locate its caregiver.  This dog had already gone missing for almost a month and his caregiver could not be found.  

Luckily, NANAS decided to give this little dog a chance but before anything could be done to start the re-homing process.  On 26 April afternoon, AVA informed us that his caregiver had contacted them about the lost dog.

Mr Tan and Ah Boy

On the evening of 26 April 2017, Mr Tan and Ah Boy were reunited after 32 days.  When we asked how Ah Boy managed to get out of the compound, we discovered that staff at the facility, where he lived, had left the gate open and Ah Boy walked out with his sister.  

His sister is still missing and we hope that she can be reunited with her family soon.  Please click HERE for a poster of Ah Boy's sister called Sasa.   

Kindly contact us at Hp: 91996247 or email nanasspore@gmail.com if you see her.

The family is very thankful that their dog was kept safe.  Mr Tan has special needs and Ah Boy means a lot to him.  During that same week, Mr Tan's mother passed on.  It had been tough to lose his mother and his two dogs at the same time.  



Please watch the video to see Ah Boy's reaction when he saw Mr Tan after a month.   There was not a dry eye in the house as everyone there watched this heartwarming reunion.

Happy Ending

Noah's Ark Animal Chatter - March 2017

Birthday Celebrations for Melody Our Oldest Resident Visitors from Singapore celebrated Melody's Catherine showing Melody her cake. 34th birthday on 25 February 2017 during the sanctuary tour.    She was presented with a cake made of hay with carrots that looked like candles on the top of the cake.  The other horses and dogs also joined in the celebrations while visitors took turns to take a photo with her.   While Melody was enjoying her cake, our volunteer, Josann treated the humans to an array of mouthwatering cakes she had made for this special occasion.   Some people commented that there was no "real" birthday cake that day so the following week, Josann baked a cake for Melody and everyone celebrated Melody's birthday one more time.  She was not complaining.  She deserved it!   Being the oldest and the dominant mare, Melody enjoys being the matriarch of the herd.  At 34 years of age, she is still fit and strong and does not take any nonsense from anyone.   Rescued in 1999 from Tang Dynasty when they closed, Melody made the journey across the Straits to her new home when the sanctuary relocated to Johor from Singapore in June 2000.    Happy Birthday Melody!  Let's hope you have many more years to come!  Next year, maybe durian cake for you?  She absolutely loves durians but that is another story!

New arrivals from Singapore Welcoming Ah Gal, Fei Zai, Mandy & Blackie On 7 March 2017, the sanctuary was abuzz with news that four dogs arrived from Singapore.  We are very glad that we are able to give these deserving dogs a place they can finally call their forever home.  Let's meet them and hear their stories.    The Valentine Couple:  Ah Gal & Fei Zai Ah Gal and Fei Zai were guard dogs looking after a factory in Singapore.  They worked very hard, day and night, to ensure that the premises were safe.  After 10 years of dedication and undying loyalty, their services were terminated.    Instead of being rewarded for their work, they ended up at AVA.  This did not bode well for these two senior dogs.  They most certainly did not deserve this fate.    Thank goodness they were saved and can now retire and live out the rest of their lives at the sanctuary.  They were rescued by a NANAS volunteer the day before Valentine's Day and she aptly named them the Valentine Couple.   Mandy Mandy has lived at a heavy vehicle park for the past 13 years ever since she was a puppy.  She also had a caregiver, a foreign worker who worked at the vehicle park.  He was very responsible and ensured that Mandy received her annual vaccinations and when she was sick, he would bring her to the vet.   Unfortunately, the worker's contract ended and he had to leave.  In the meantime, Mandy had an accident and injured her right hind leg needing a plate to hold her bones together. Her right front leg was also injured.   When we found out about her plight, we were happy to offer Mandy a place at the sanctuary.   We strongly believe that Mandy deserves a home and a place to retire with dignity.   Blackie  Blackie is 2 years old and a very large dog.  He used to be locked up in a cage for many hours.  No animal should be treated this way.   A dog this size needs plenty of exercise and the freedom to move around.   What is the point of having a dog and keeping it in a cage?  The owner most probably just wanted a guard dog to look after his factory.  Wait till it barks too much, it will be disposed off in a heartbeat.  You just cannot win, can you?   Luckily, the rescuer felt sorry for him and managed to free him from his misery.  When we heard about Blackie, we agreed to take him in.  He can now roam free and run around on the sanctuary grounds to his heart's content.  Another happy dog in the making!

How you can help us to help them Rescue work is never easy Sometimes we feel helpless when we cannot help each and every animal.  Many times, we have had to choose but it breaks our heart not being able to do more for the ones we could not help.   Saving an animal is the easy part but in doing so, we are responsible for it for the rest of its life.  Raising enough money for food, medical and daily necessities needed to run a sanctuary with more than 1,000 animals is, in itself, a monumental task.  Every month, the volunteers are busy raising funds to continue this work.   Funds are also needed for key projects and they include: Project Industrial Dogs (Trap Neuter Release & Manage) Project Catsnip (Trap Neuter Release & Manage) Project SOS (Save Our Street) Dogs Noah's Ark VetHelp & Vet Internship Programmes  There are many ways you can help: Sponsorship of animal - S$50 per month for a dog or cat / S$100 per month for a horse Donations via cash or cheque Donations via GIRO from S$10 upwards per month Sanctuary tours NANAS merchandise   Pet Sponsorship Do check out our awesome Tri-Paws by clicking HERE.   Wong Tai Zena Yankee Lordy Bond Ariel Lok Lok Emperor Bianco If you wish to contribute in any way to make it easier for us to continue doing this work, here are the bank details:   For donations in Singapore dollars For donations in Malaysian Ringgits Local Funds Transfer Bank:            DBS Bank Acct No:       023-905510-9 Acct Name:  Noahs Ark Natural Animal                      Shelter   Overseas Funds Transfer Swift Code:  DBSSSGSG Bank Name: DBS Bank Ltd Acct Name:  Noahs Ark Natural Animal                      Shelter   Acct No:          023-905510-9 Bank Branch  Hougang Branch Code   023 Bank Address: 12 Marina Boulevard DBS Asia Central Marina Bay Financial Centre Tower 3 Singapore 018982 Local Funds Transfer Bank:             CIMB Bank Acct No:         01190002636058 Name:            Noahs Ark Natural Animal                        Shelter   Overseas Funds Transfer Swift Code:      CIBBMYKL Bank Name:    CIMB Bank Berhad Acct Name:      Noah's Ark Natural Animal Shelter   Acct No:          01190002636058 Bank Branch:  Gelang Patah Bank address: 25, Jalan Medan Nusa Perinitis 6, Taman Nusa Perintis 2, 81550 Gelang Patah, Johor, Malaysia.   Cheque Issue to: "Noah's Ark Natural Animal Shelter"   Mail to: 405C Fernvale Lane, #09-101 Singapore 793405   Cheque Issue to: "Noah's Ark Natural Animal Shelter"   Mail to: 2B Jalan KLJ 4 Taman Kota Laksamana Jaya 75200 Melaka, Malaysia
