Adopt a companion from SPCA today!


A colleague of mine just told me yesterday that his brother's dog, Casper was adopted from SPCA too. Just by looking at the picture, Casper looks like a very healthy and happy dog.

Why not adopt a dog and a lifetime companion from the nearest SPCA nearest to you today?
Get a life companion and give another furkid another chance of being in a loving home with you.

Or, you may want to consider being just a Foster Home for the pets.

Klang Valley Streets//Adopt-a-pet: Foster home option


18 May, 2007
SOMETIMES, as much as you want to, you are just not able to adopt a pet on a long-term basis. Or perhaps you are uncertain if you are ready to look after a pet, in addition to all your other responsibilities.

Or maybe you are unclear on what kind of dog (breed, type, energy level, age) would fit into your family and your lifestyle.

If you are one of those described above, the SPCA offers you another option: fostering a pet.

What this means is, you and your family offer a temporary home for a puppy, dog, kitten or cat, usually one that is young, orphaned or injured, and care for it on a short-term basis.

Once they are well, the SPCA will look for homes for them.

“SPCA has so many surrendered animals and it is almost impossible to look after all of them,” says Pris Hendricks, assistant PR and marketing officer at the SPCA. “And putting the frail down is not the long-term answer.”

If you still need convincing, here’s a shocking statistic that might change your mind: the SPCA receives approximately 1,000 canines and felines a month and due to the lack of space, 90 per cent are humanely put down!

“Foster homes are a much needed resource, and always welcome,” stresses Hendricks. “The more foster homes we have, the more lives we can save.”

Providing a temporary foster home for a dog or a cat gives the dog or cat a chance to rebuild his or her self-esteem and strength in the case of abused or injured pets.

It also gives you the opportunity to enjoy the company of the pet on a short-term basis or decide if this pet is suitable for your lifestyle.

So people, head down to the SPCA and foster a pet today. You provide the love and home; the dog or cat provides you with love, joy and the satisfaction of having saved a life.

Battle of the sexes - VS dogs

Someone sent me this links, and I thought some of them could be quite true ..

For all the men out there, do you think you are any better than dogs?
Read this :

Why dogs are better than men...

To be fair, to all the women out there, you are equally challenged as well, when it comes to dogs..
Read this:

Why dogs are better than women..
Snow and Me...

It's SNOW-ing Love, Hugs and Kisses!

A note for Snow:
=====================
Dear Snow,

So glad to have you in my life!
=====================

I find great relief from my recent stressful life with just the simple gestures by Snow.
After a long day from work, I come home to see a little white cute furkid wagging her tail zealously.

When I fall asleep on the sofa out of exhaustion, there it comes, a little *kiss* on my face. Actually it is more like a lick full of saliva...dogs love you unconditionally. They always love you even when you have forgotten to feed them on time. They never judge you. They never criticise you that you are not good enough. They always understand you..or they always seemed to understand. And they never run out of love for you. For me, with Snow around, I never run out of her comforting hugs, love and kisses..even the foul smelling breath of hers does not bothers me...

dogs never remember to brush their teeth in the morning, but they always remember to lick you feet in the morning to wake you up, and they always remember to give you that morning kiss..full of saliva..again..

I guess throughout these few stressful days, Snow really made me feel alive. She has surprisingly grown very fast, from a little puppy that we adopted from the homeless dog shelter few months ago, she is now, a fully grown furkid. She has great shiny soft white hair despite not being a purebreed dog. She always put on a pleasant look on her face. I could almost see a smile!

Here's a photo of me and Snow that I found on the Puppy.com.my website. Can you spot me and Snow in the background??
