Update: September + PUPPY ADOPTIONS!

First and foremost, a big THANK YOU to all of you well-wishers out there who have written in to ask how September is currently coping. We are certainly glad to report that September is well, healthier and stronger, and definitely naughtier!



He looks so much better doesn't he?

September has just gone to the vet for a follow-up over the weekend, and oh boy, Dr Lesley Teo was pleasantly surprised to see that he has grown so fast! He has received his second vaccination too, with the thinnest needle being used. He has also undergone another blood test to ensure that all is well. Dr Lesley Teo was all smiles to see that September was now the same size as his siblings, and equally big and round! Interestingly, September is currently the biggest and the healthiest of all the siblings. His next follow-up will be in two months time.

As for the tests to check if the rest of the puppies suffer from the same blood disorder, we have consulted many vets and all of them said it would be unlikely that the others have this disorder. If they did, they too, would have bled during micro-chipping.

Both the volunteers and September are extremely grateful to the well wishers, donors and everyone who has helped in one way or another. Big and small, as it all adds up to help September get to where he currently is today. September has a long life ahead of him, and regardless of the challenges there may be in the future, we will be taking a step at a time.

Last but not least, September and his siblings are ready and up for ADOPTION!!!

Thank you for supporting our Hachiko Movie Premiere!

Dear Friends of Noah's Ark,

Thank you for supporting Noah's Ark Cares in our second ever movie premiere. To all our kind sponsors and supporters who made this event possible, no words can express our heartfelt gratitude. To all our friends who bought the tickets - we thank you for your constantly ongoing support towards our cause. Without your generous assistance, Noah's Ark will not be where it is today.

Teachers and students from St Anthony Canossian came to support us too!

We hope you had enjoyed the movie and a terrific night out whilst meeting new friends and interacting with fellow animal lovers. After the movie, we hope that many of you would be more appreciative towards your dogs. They bring you love and unconditional loyalty. They deserve to have that returned to them by an owner that loves them just as much.

If you don't already know, the entire proceeds from this movie premiere were going to help Mr Tan's three dogs, [See http://noahsarkcares.blogspot.com/2009/01/home-alone-for-christmas-mr-tans-story.html] ensuring they will be happy, comfortable and remain together as one family. The monies raised will be used to pay their medical bills, the exportation and transportation to Noah's Ark and their upkeep at the Sanctuary - where they will live out the rest of their lives. Like Hachiko, they will never be reunited with their Master here on earth, but we are sure that Mr Tan will always be etched in their memories, and someday, they will meet again.

A special thank you to Vernon Cornelius of The Quest fame, for doing the opening introduction and sharing his experiences about Noah's Ark.

Antoine de Saint-Exupery once said "Many have forgotten this truth, but you must not forget it. You remain responsible, forever, for what you have tamed." We will always be responsibile towards our pets that are very much part of our daily lives. If you do have a dog at home, do remember that you are the world to him/her, and you are very much obliged to take care of them for the rest of their lives. Do remember that you mean the world to your dog, and you should never question their unwavering loyalty and unconditional love towards you. Their whole being revolves around you and be sure not to ever forget that!

Thank you for joining us once again for this special movie premiere. As William Shakespeare put it, "What is the city but the people"? Likewise, what is Noah's Ark, without people like you?

Till the next time we meet, take care!
