Choose to adopt

What a weekend it was on 16 Apr, Sat when these 7 puppies were rescued under a carpark ramp in an industrial area. All are between 6 - 8 weeks and are currently up for adoption. So far, Ginger, Latte & Snowy have gone to loving homes. 4 more to go and I hope people who are looking for dogs will choose to adopt. Every year, AVA puts down 95% of the 1,800 strays caught. It is heartbreaking so let's do what we can to save and rehome as many as possible. Every dog deserves a second chance in life. Choose to adopt. 
I came across this written by a lady called Vanessa on the ASD website. It is very touching and I hope it warms your heart too on a grey, cloudy afternoon today.


See That Stray 
(WAD 2003 Prose Winner)
By Vanessa


See that stray across the road
No food to eat, no place to go
He walks and walks to find a home
But alas, he ends up always alone


See that stray searching for food
It's never enough, it's never good
His tired legs must carry him far
Thru dangers by road and by car


See that stray next to you
No shelter for his weary soul
Take him home and give him hope
Take him in and give him peace within


Take the risk and you shall see
How a stray will set you free
Free to give the love you have
Free to love him and his past


FInd out more from these 2 animal shelters if you would like to adopt a pet or simply sign up to be a volunteer OR donate some money to keep the cause going. They are set up by like-minded animal lovers who are passionate and committed to caring and loving abandoned strays. Let's do our part to love and care for our four-legged furry friends whichever way we can. A little goes a long way!
