Isaac Found His Forever Home

Isaac has finally found his forever home (Yay!).  

Isaac is a senior dog with a sweet and gentle soul. It was a sad sight when Isaac was found wandering all alone along Upper Thomson in October last year. He spent his days outdoors hiding under cars as his bums had callouses that showed he had been living on rough surfaces for a long period. He was probably abandoned and his initial foster could only look after him for a month. When Isaac was finally handed over to us in November, our volunteers were determined to find him the "right" home . . . . but it wasn't easy to find a nice family that would not leave him alone for long hours and be able to apply eye drops and feed him 4x a day. Also, he would appear aloof and stare into space, or cower and try to be invisible to keep himself safe as that was how he must have lived.

As a senior dog, Isaac had some medical ailments, was a fussy eater and had been losing weight. He could go on for a day or two without food.

As fate would have it, Isaac's new mama saw him on our social media and reached out to us. When we set up the adoption viewing, it was raining heavily on that day but the family of 6 still came down in 2 cabs nonetheless to see Isaac. We knew then that Isaac had found his new family. His new mama cradled him in her arms - it was love at first sight!

We are so happy that Isaac's adoptive family shower him with plenty of love and  attention every day; constantly making little adjustments around the house so that Isaac is well looked after and comfortable.

Isaac gets to eat yummy home cooked meals and goes on daily walks with his new family. He now has 3 hooman little sisters that he stays with, and he sits on the table to accompany them while they study. He goes to the playground with them and  sleeps on the same bed with them.  Isaac is very much loved by his family, having won over all their hearts. His Mama says he is the son they never had and every night, Papa pats Isaac to sleep ❤

Isaac now has a safe place to spend his golden years. He's one lucky doggy and we're so happy for him.

Isaac was adopted in February 2021.

Tribute to Cody

Today, we had to say goodbye to our dear Cody boy. He passed on this morning in his sleep.

6 years ago, we rescued Cody who used to live in Punggol forest. He lost his home, when land was cleared for modernization. He moved to a new territory where he was attacked by resident dogs. Timid, fearful and fraught with wounds, Cody was rescued by a feeder who then contacted HOPE.

Cody spent some years in commercial boarding where he took a while to overcome his fear of humans. But, over time, he developed a calm demeanor, and we see him as the strong silent type, often with a look of stoic resignation towards his fate.

Good ol' Cody spent almost 6 long years waiting for a place to call home. As Cody is not one who would show affection readily, he was always overlooked at adoption drives. It did not help that he was often plagued with health issues that required care. Despite all that, he finally found true love with Nicolette and Mark who loved him with all their heart

Sadly Cody's happiness was short-lived. 10 months after he found a home, he fell very sick. He went downhill very fast, and this morning, he passed on peacefully in his sleep, surrounded by love at home.

Sad as we are, we believe it is better to have loved and lost, than never to have loved at all.

We want to express gratitude to the many people who helped Cody in this life. Thank you, Nicolette and Mark, for taking Cody into your home and giving him your love. And to all volunteers who have helped Cody, so that he was surrounded by love whenever he went.

Farewell Cody - run free to the rainbow and be healed again.

Cody died at home on 31 March 2021. He was 9.
