Saving Sprouts

Many of us go through hard times at some point in life; and as humans, most of us do complain a whole lot. I have food when I am hungry; water when I am thirsty, readily available medical care when I am ill and most importantly, I have friends and family to rely on. Some time ago I came across this phrase ‘I complained that I had no shoes, till I met the man with no feet’. This phrase really hit home and I told myself that not only would I complain less; I would do something for the people and animals who lead lesser lives than me.


Over my four short years of volunteering in animal welfare, I have met many animals who are so much less fortunate than I am. Sprouts is one such dog who has again reminded me of why I want to involve myself in helping animals and the community.


Sprouts must have had lead a very sad life. I could see it in his eyes the moment we made eye contact in the middle of the road. You might start to question what I was doing in the middle of the road, but that was exactly what I wanted to know from Sprouts, too. We were making our way to our Saturday stray feeding area in an industrial estate when we caught sight of this dog standing on the other lane next to the road divider. He seemed rooted to the ground, in the middle of the road; legs too weak to carry him across to safety.

Sprouts, at the road divider

Lucky for us and the dog, there was no traffic at all during that evening period. We slowed down and pulled over, wound our windows down and called out to him, trying to catch his attention. We clapped and whistled - no response. We got out from the car and walked toward him - no response. Not a flinch, not a twitch of a muscle. He just stood there, with his face downcast, still rooted to the same spot in the middle of the road. Maybe no one had ever called out to him; no one had ever approached him with kind intentions. He just did not know how to react. Or maybe he was just too weak to respond.


The reason why we stopped the car in the first place was not because he was standing in the middle of the road. Most dogs who live on the streets are extremely street smart and will swiftly dodge oncoming traffic. Why we stopped for him was because we could see that he was starving; his rib-cage and pelvic bones were jutting out and could be seen from a distance. It was an extremely painful sight, to see an emaciated body standing motionless and alone in the middle of the road. I wondered if dogs could commit suicide.


The first thing we did was to try to feed him. Scooping out some rice, chicken and liver, we placed it on the grass on our side of the road, hoping that he would come over to eat. The food and our coaxing managed to catch his attention, but to our surprise, this gaunt and scrawny dog remained where he was, not moving an inch! I picked out a few pieces of chicken and liver from the food pile and walked slowly and cautiously towards him. At this point, most street dogs would turn and scamper away in fear, but I was indeed taken aback by how he did not move at all. He was like a doggie statue constructed in the middle of the road. I knelt right in front of him, in the middle of the road, and he looked me in the eye; showing me his world of pain and suffering. I placed the food on the road divider, and gently told him to eat some. He did not. He seemed totally uninterested in what I lay before him.

Refusing the food we offered to him on the road divider

It was only when I lifted a piece of liver to his mouth that he started sniffing at it and expressing his desire to eat. He had some difficulty taking hold of the food from my hand, and seemed to struggle to chew and swallow that small piece of liver. I held out another small piece, but he refused it despite my coaxing. All this while, the other volunteers were looking out for cars and traffic as Sprouts and I were glued in the middle of the road. The next thing the dog did, confirmed our speculations that he was too weak to move. He started to walk towards the pavement, but in slow motion which made him look as if he was in pain. 


His skinny frame slowly staggered across the road and when he had to climb up the step onto the grassy pavement, it felt to us that he had no energy left. We quickly crossed the road with more food, hoping that he would continue to eat but he didn’t. We decided to pour him some water lest he was thirsty and to our astonishment, he lapped up the entire bowl in a flash! He just kept drinking and drinking, as if he had never drunk a sip of liquid for an entire week. We stood there watching; our eyes shifting from his body of bones to his weak and lifeless face.

Cutting a sad, lonely figure. Attempting to walk across the road

A living skeleton

His eyes showed nothing but surrender

After drinking the water, he walked slowly to a patch of grass and lay down. It was all too strange for a dog to suddenly lie down in the midst of so many people – it felt like he was trying to say I appreciate your food and water, now leave me to die. He lay on the grass, heaved a deep sigh and waited for death to overcome him. This sight tugged at my heartstrings so badly, I felt like I wanted to cry, but Aunty Fiona has always reminded me to stay calm and logical in such situations and help the dog first. Cry later, she would always say. Not a very kind piece of advice, but Aunty Fiona always reminds me that if you panic or get upset, you can’t make right decisions for the dogs.


Usually when we come across such situations, street dogs are very grateful to be saved but this dog just wanted death to take him away from the hard life he had lived. He was probably an outcast and bullied by other street dogs, never getting to eat – and suffering internally from kidney and liver failure. After what life had thrown at him, he decided that death would just be a better option. I knelt beside him and stroked his head, while HOPE volunteer Justina gave him some Reiki.

He had given up on life; waiting for death to overcome him

We desperately racked our brains to try to help him, but we were at a loss. We had no carrier to put him in, no seat space in the car to lay him on, and most of the veterinary clinics were already closed for the day. This was unplanned and unforeseen; but we felt that we had to do something. We couldn’t just leave him there. Leave him there to sleep and possibly slip into death by the side of the road.

As animal rescue volunteers, we know that each and every life is precious. If it weren’t, we would not be spending almost every night of the week in industrial estates, feeding and caring for the street and factory dogs. We may not be able to save every single dog, but we’d always try. We could not let this dog leave this world, dying a slow and painful death, knowing no one cared for him. It just wasn’t possible. Volunteer Mandy got down to calling her friends, in search of someone who could immediately foster the dog for one night before taking him to the vet the next day. Fortunately, we managed to find a foster who very kindly gave consent. Our volunteer Miao Li had her hands all covered with oil and dirt as she carried this sweet street dog to our car - too weak to even stand up any longer. Sprouts’ weak and limp body lay lifelessly on her lap the entire journey.
_


The next day, Sunday, volunteers met HOPE Dog Rescue founder, Fiona, at the vet for the dog’s medical appointment. We decided to name him Sprouts. A blood sample was taken from Sprouts after seeing that his gums were almost white from the lack of blood cells in him. The test results confirmed that he had severe tick fever; so severe that his kidney and liver were failing. His PVC (Packed Cell Volume) was a mere 9% when a normal dog’s PVC should be at least 35%. Dr Ang mentioned that even if he should receive two bags of blood, he might only have a 30% chance of survival. Considering that he had blood in his pee as well due to internal bleeding from tick fever, there wasn’t much light left at the end of his tunnel.

A picture of suffering

A sorry sight. What if our paths never crossed?

Eyes that no longer reflect life

When Dr Ang checked him, he dripped blood onto the floor and it smelled really foul

Sprouts was warded immediately, put on drip and started on antibiotic. He was severely dehydrated. However, this morning when we called the vet to to check how he was, they informed us that he had passed away during the wee hours of the morning. It is likely that he would have gone in his sleep, because he looked like he was in a deep slumber - just that his body was cold.


Sprouts may not have had the chance to live a happy life, but in the end, he finally felt the love of a human touch and knew that there is at least some kindness in this world. It has been just two days of our acquaintance, but Sprouts has found a very special place in my heart. Humans have an extraordinary relationship with dogs - closer than with any other animal; street dogs are our passion. Each dog whom we rescue teaches us something; Sprouts has brought to light the need to give hope to dogs whereever we go, and a small glimmer can help bring love and life even in the face of death. I know for sure that Sprouts would be heading for a better place with no suffering, and live eternally in the paradise of sunshine at Rainbow Bridge. At least he is left to lie peacefully in the midst of people who care; people who love.

Saying goodbye is never easy

Goodbye dear Sprouts

I know that Sprouts' story has touched and impacted you as much as it did me. There are many dogs out there just like him; on the edge of life and death and waiting for that last spark of hope and love. There will be some dogs whom we cannot save, and some who might live, but that doesn’t matter. All that matters is that we alleviate their pain, bring them light, love and Hope. It’s a road less travelled, but we travel it anyway, because we must.

Sprouts is Justina's very first experience rescuing a street dog: "He had given up all hopes in life; all he wanted is to leave this place. Poor boy! I hope he had a smooth transition." 

Sprout's medical bill has amounted to a $500/-; $285/- for his overnight stay, drip line, blood tests and antibiotic. The cremation was $215/-. Should you wish to help us financially, please contact us. HOPE Dog Rescue runs a programme called “Aid for Hope” and with your kind support, we will be able to continue with our rescues and help more street animals.

To help a street dog, please email Fiona at pops_snaps@singnet.com.sg. All cheques will go directly to Mount Pleasant Animal Medical Centre.


Thank you for believing in our work.

The Coffee Pups - All Happily Loved!

On 3rd September 2011, HOPE Dog Rescue held an adoption drive to find homes for The Coffee Pups - Cafe, Cocoa, Latte and Mocha. Their lives on the streets were finally over and they were ready to be rehomed into their forever homes.

The eye-catching adoption poster wonderfully designed by Elena

A lot of preparation had to be done prior to the adoption drive; ranging from organizing the venue and time to delegating volunteer duties, it was a very hectic time for us! Of course, the only thought on our minds was that we hoped the dogs would be successfully adopted. After much consideration about the date that we would hold the adoption drive on, we decided that a Saturday afternoon would be best, as more people would be available to view the puppies! We also finalized the venue for the adoption drive to be at Doggiestyle Cafe (NEX Shopping mall), as it was a rather central area for people all around Singapore. Families doing their weekend shopping could also stop by - the larger the crowd, the higher the chances of a successful adoption drive! Saturday was also a convenient day for our working adults and students volunteers who could help out. 


After the date was established, we informed the owner of Doggiestyle Cafe, Ivy, that we would like to hold an adoption drive at her premises. Ivy kindly allowed us to host our adoption drive at her cafe and we were very grateful that she was willing to support our cause. Again, Doggiestyle Cafe was the most ideal place for having an adoption drive, because it is a place where pet owners and lovers hangout with their dogs. We also observed that the human traffic passing by the café was high as well, therefore we hoped that more passers-by would stop for a glimpse of The Coffee Pups.

Getting to know more about The Coffee Pups

On the day of the adoption drive, everyone including the puppies were so excited! Our volunteers arrived a tad earlier to prepare for the event. Upon their arrival, The Coffee Pups were very excited to be in a new environment, and they were sniffing other dogs, hoping to play with them. Our adoption drive officially started when a special announcement was made by Ivy, introducing The Coffee Pups, as well as MoMo, a little brindle puppy who was also looking for a home. All the pups attracted lots of attention with their cute and adoring expressions - many people wanted to pat and hug all of them! Soon, Doggiestyle Cafe was swamped with so many visitors that we had to move our adoption drive outdoors, which attracted an even larger crowd! Many people enquired about the pups, and our volunteers basically introduced the respective dogs that they were handling, as well as explain our adoption conditions and procedures. 

Lots of pats and cuddles from visitors!

It was getting too crowded in the café that we had to move the adoption drive outside!

The people who were genuinely interested in adopting the pups had their details recorded down and a short questionnaire was completed by them to decide on their suitability. Volunteers informed all potential adopters that a thorough screening had to be done, as well as a house check would have to be performed before confirmation of the adoption.


After the adoption drive, volunteers spent time running through all the adoption questionnaires and details. We filtered out the most suitable families who were willing to take a Coffee Pup home. Over the following weekend, our volunteers busied themselves with house-checks and decision making.


Eventually, all of the Coffee Pups, as well as little MoMo were successfully and happily adopted! Though all the preparations were painstaking, everything was all worthwhile as we saw our street pups finally land in loving families, who would shelter them from all the dangers that they would have continued facing should we have left them on the streets.

Finally, we would like to once again thank Ivy for hosting our adoption drive at her café. We would also want to thank all volunteers who sacrificed their weekend to help ensure that the adoption drive went smoothly. Most importantly, we would like to thank the families who have adopted the puppies. They have given The Coffee Pups a bright future filled with Hope!


Below is a short reflection written by Cherryl Louise Scharenguivel, who's family adopted Mocha;

"A friend of my mother's was telling us about these “Coffee pups” that were up for adoption at Hope Dog Rescue so we decided to check them out via email.


When I saw the picture of the four, the first one to catch my attention was Mocha, now named Bailey Bliss; and I instantly fell in love with her.

Princess Bailey Bliss with her new family (Karen, Cherryl and Royston) - see the striking resemblance in the family.

There are reasons why I would rather adopt a dog than to buy one.


Firstly, you'll save a life.


Shelters tend to euthanize animals when they run out of space and it is really a painful and tough decision to make. The number of euthanized animals could be reduced if more people adopted pets instead of buying them, especially if the decision was an impulsive one.


Secondly, you'll get a healthy pet.


Animal shelters are brimming with happy, healthy animals just waiting for someone to take them home. Most animal rescue organizations - especially Hope Dog Rescue, examine, treat and provide vaccinations and all that is necessary to animals when they are rescued.


Lastly, it will make you feel like you have done something extremely humane.


Pets have a way of putting a smile on your face even at your lowest moments, especially my Bailey girl. She's the most cheerful, loving and clumsy doggie I've ever met. She never fails to greet us excitedly when we come home or when she sees us first thing in the morning. She runs and dives at out feet, wagging her tail vigorously, gets up, jumps on you and gives you little kisses all over your face.


Caring for a companion animal can provide a sense of purpose and fulfilment and lessen feelings of loneliness and isolation. It has been a month since we adopted Bailey and this little princess is happy as a lark. She has learnt several commands such as 'come', 'sit', 'paw' and 'down'.

My name's Cherryl Louise and I'm a proud owner of a 5 month old local cross breed puppy, Bailey Bliss."

Happy World Animal Day!

Watch this video and be reminded of why we have dedicated our lives to our furry friends. The simple pleasures in life, the unassuming love and respect, the innocence and bond. Dogs are our life. Cherish and love them. That's all they ask for.


From all of us at HOPE Dog Rescue, Happy World Animal Day!

World Animal Day - Celebrating Dogs!

In case you didn't already know, it's World Animal Day on 4 October! And we at HOPE would like to dedicate this post to all the dogs out there.

Dogs have an endless optimism and unadulterated joy that we humans can only wish we had. Many a time we have seen strays with horrific injuries and scars that tell stories of immense suffering, expecting them to be tired and spiritless, only to have them bound up to us in joy despite their pain.

Mookie living happily in his factory

The loyalty of dogs is also something from which humans could learn a thing or two! Many of you may have already heard the story of Hachiko. Hachiko was a one-year-old puppy when Hidesaburo Ueno adopted him. Every day, when Ueno returned from his work as a professor at the University of Tokyo, Hachiko would come to the train station to greet him. The two of them would then travel the rest of the way home together. This daily routine went on for a year.

However, their happiness did not last long and in May 1925, Professor Ueno suffered a cerebral hemorrhage at work and died. He never returned to the train station where Hachiko was waiting. Although Ueno and Hachiko had only spent a year together, Hachiko continued to wait faithfully at the same spot at the train station each day for the next 9 years. Eventually, he grew sick from cancer and died on the streets near the train station. Even if you're not a dog person, you can't help but be moved by Hachiko's fierce loyalty and unwavering optimism and hope.

Hachiko's story is not unlike our very own Harry's. Harry was a dog that lived on the 6th floor of a factory building. His home was the space under a truck in a tiny workshop. The people there neither treated him well nor loved him, but still he thought of them as family, choosing to live at the factory for years despite not being fed nor cared for.  Finally, some months back, a new tenant moved in a few units from where Harry lived. They took pity on Harry and got him help. Now Harry has a new home where he is being cared for, for the first time in his life.

Dogs that have been hurt emotionally or physically by humans have also shown an enormous capacity for forgiveness. In a magazine published by a no-kill shelter in America, one article told the story of Roxie, a German Shepherd with a broken leg, abandoned in a box by the side of a highway. She was eventually adopted by Francis Battista, who wrote that "there is that sadness deep inside her that I will never be able to cure... she had a first family and people to whom she was devoted in the way that only a dog can be, but she was abandoned. Even though they left her to live or die by the side of a highway, Roxie still waits for them in the quiet of the evening. She could never in a million years begin to understand such betrayal, because it isn't in her." Despite the betrayal, she continued to trust our human species. Although she had developed separation anxiety and tore the house up when left alone, Roxie was learning and was clearly ecstatic to have a home once again.

All too often, we also find dogs that show clear signs of human abuse. Although they are frightened at first, it isn't long before they warm up to humans again, and display a level of trust in us that not even old friends would have for each other. It continues to baffle us that animals who have known such suffering at the hands of humans can be so quick to forgive us.

If you have a dog at home, you would definitely know how amazing dogs can be. Think how often your dogs forgive you leaving them alone for hours, days, and sometimes for weeks, with no stated reason. We don't know what they think about when we're gone, wondering where we are and when we'll return, but one thing's for sure - they are always genuinely happy to see us again, every time we return. Their capacity for hope, loyalty, forgiveness and love for their owners is something that us humans can never match.

We are truly blessed to have such amazing creatures in our lives, and if you have a doggy companion, remember to show some love to them this World Animal Day! Now go out and kiss a dog; they are born to be loved!

A dog is a creature with all the best character traits of humans, but in a much cuter package. . . . . Elena

Puppy On Death Row

It has always been my wish to do something for the society. Why choose to help those stray dogs instead of humans? Everyone knows about helpless, disabled, poor, old people but how many know about those dogs that have been abused, abandoned and the many strays that roam the streets?

For humans, they have a lot of people helping them and giving assistance but how many people actually help dogs? Stray dogs have no permanent shelter like us having a roof over our head, a bed or meals that we could keep ourselves going. Even handicapped people can find jobs, whereas a stray handicapped dog will probably be left on the streets to fight for himself, to try his best to survive and if his injury is severe, maybe even die a slow torturous death somewhere in the drain or bushes without people knowing.

People buy pets on impulse, for their cuteness usually. When they are older and less cute, sometimes they abuse and neglect them. When their dogs are young, they don't teach them properly and don't bring them up right and when their dog grows up and starts biting people, they give them up. Whose fault is it? It is always the human's fault, never the dog's fault. The dog looks up to you for guidance. If you didn't teach your dog well, you have only yourself to blame.

If you want to give up your dog, put in some effort to find it a new home or send it to SPCA and have them rehome it. If it can't be rehomed, your dog may be put down and it is your responsibility to answer to the dog, and tell your dog you let him down. Do NOT take the easy way out by abandoning your dog at the park or tying him at the void deck. If you throw your dog on the streets, your dog will not survive. Do you think your dog will know how to cross the road and where to look for food?

Cleaning the puppy after bailing her out from SPCA

Recently I heard about a 6 month old Jack Russell Terrier (JRT) on death row at SPCA. 6 months old only and due to be put down at SPCA? Why would SPCA put down a young puppy, a pedigree and a toy dog that can easily be rehomed? I wondered  . . . .maybe it had some incurable disease. I contacted Hope Dog Rescue volunteers and they agreed to go down with me to save the puppy's life.

Her right eye seemed sore

A scared little puppy

One-eyed Jack (no pun intended)

When we arrived at SPCA, they showed us this skinny little puppy who was very scared. What incurable disease did she have? She only had pneumonia! I never imagined a puppy would be put down for having pneumonia so we immediately bailed her out and took her straight to the vet.

Looking like a cute mousedeer

Having her eye checked

As I carried her in the car with Hope volunteers, she almost immediately fell asleep in my arms, She was so tiny and I could feel her wheezing and struggling to breathe. I felt so sorry for this frail little puppy. I also found out that she had been rehomed twice previously, in her short lifespan of six months! Her second owner surrendered her to SPCA. Imagine if I didn't know about her . . . . .

After the vet, I took her home to foster and I promised to take good care of her and nurse her back to health. She deserved my love and care after having gone through so much tough times in just six months of her life. She is now called Miumiu and I am thankful to Fiona and her team for providing me with assistance, guidance and covering the cost of her vet bills.

Thank you for saving my life

Food For Hope (On-Going Project)

Hunger knows no boundaries. Hunger exists, even in a rich affluent country like Singapore.


As you read this, many dogs (and some cats) are waiting for night to fall, waiting and listening for the sound of our car in the distance, telling them this is the night they will be fed. For the many streets dogs, they may never know the luxury of a simple drink of water, or small plate of food. They will struggle through the day and wait for darkness to bring the sound of our car's rumbling engine.

A lonesome, stray puppy.

Feeding in teams, we usually hit the industrial streets after nightfall as the strays don’t usually come out that early. Night is when it is cool, safer with lesser humans and traffic. By feeding these street dogs, we hope to lessen their hardship of street life. Once they've had their fill, these dogs often return to their hiding places; at least for the next day or two, they will not need to wander the streets in search of food. Perhaps some of them will not be hit by cars; others will not become targets of human cruelty.

Packed food is not always available!

A female dog searching for food, with evidence of the many litters of puppies she must have had on the streets having not yet been sterilized.

A factory dog waiting patiently for his food to be prepared. Not all are this fortunate to have workers that care for and feed them.

A very old stray whose legs were too weak to carry him.

Stale food that we could smell as we entered the factory compounds.

There is always much heartbreak in the types of scenes and situations we witness. The unbearable heat poses a hardship beyond our understanding on stray dogs trying to survive. Can any of us imagine going for weeks without clean water to drink? Of course, street dogs never actually drink clean water, but at least regular rainfall flushes out some of the filth from the puddles they go to for relief. With no rainfall, a stray must drink whatever they find, and I can tell you from my experience of seeing it, what they drink is sad; but they drink it anyway, because they must.

Drinking muddy water to survive

Drinking whatever water they can find

Feeding the strays is a commitment because they have come to expect the food you bring for them on a regular basis and each night of feeding takes us a few hours to complete. However, if you feel that feeding them is hard work, how much harder it must be for them trying to live there and survive?

Giving a starved stray a meal

Puppies caged up. We provide food to the workers, feed the puppies and deworm them. They will be sterilized in a month's time.

Signs of how hard her life must be

Life is hard enough for them. Help us provide them with regular meals.

Preparing their meals during a feeding round

One factor of our work that will never change; as long as there is a presence of stray dogs who need our help, we will continue to do what we do. One might question why we continue to travel industrial estates, night after night (at no small risk to ourselves) and shoulder ever rising expenses such as medical bills, food to feed the strays, petrol costs, etc? How do we weigh or measure the work we do? Together with volunteers, I have rescued puppies trapped under metal beams, a dog with an ear wound so huge that she eventually lost her ear and a puppy with huge tyre marks across his back, just to name a few. Had we not been there to take these dogs from the streets, to the vet, they would have been left to endure that pain and suffering and eventually die a slow death.

The stray who lost her ear and hearing

I see their faces and I cannot forget. And so I will return again and again because I have looked into the eyes of those who need us and, no matter what it takes, we cannot refuse them our help.

Puppy crushed by metal beams; she had to be put down.

So, in answering the question as to why we continue to pound the streets feeding these stray dogs - I recall their faces, the look in their eyes, the sound of their little paws running to greet us when our cars pull up, and my answer is to ask a second question: How could we stop?


If you are wondering whether or not to contribute, try to imagine the many faces of the street dogs, all starved and in that moment you will see in your mind what we see during the course of a single night on the streets.

Enjoying the food you buy for them

"I don't need a bowl for this!"

Remember as you prepare to retire for the evening, that our volunteers are busy cooking and preparing to go out and hit the streets in industrial estates, after a hard day’s work.
