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.

Dear Friends of NANAS

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.

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.
