Lost And Never Found?


Do you know this dog? He has a sad tale to tell.


He was found by a kind young lady on the morning of 27 May 2014, on her way to school.


This was how he was when he was first found, dirty and bleeding. The kind young lady bathed and cleaned him up.
She saw him running along the pavement at Ang Mo Kio Avenue 3, near Block 324. Despite being so dirty, her first instinct was to catch him before he ran onto the road, so together with another lady, they managed to get hold of this little dog.

He looks like a Silky Terrier, male, microchipped and not sterilized. He was extremely dehydrated, tired, hungry and thirsty when he was found. We suspect this poor little dog has been roaming the streets for a very long time, months possibly.


Exhausted from months of roaming the streets
Parts of his body was bleeding, he was covered with dirt, his fur badly matted, he smelled bad, his eyes were tearing, his ears so dirty you could hardly see the ear opening.

He fell asleep on the consult table. He knew he was finally safe
Left ear was bleeding and part of it was missing, it looked like someone had tied a rubber band around his ear for a period of time. 

His eyes were tearing, possibly from all the dirt and irritants on the streets

His ears were so dirty we couldn't even see the ear opening.
He had a sore on his right leg


One can only imagine how a little dog managed to survive for so long alone on the streets.

We sent him to the vet immediately and he has been warded.



No matter how many dogs we rescue, it always breaks our hearts
We have named him Elliot. The case has been reported to AVA and SPCA.
