Hi everyone
There's been a rise in pet abandonment over the recent months and just several weeks back, we found 2 dogs wandering outside our shop separately: a Jack Russell Terrier and a Rough Collie.
We housed the 2 dogs temporarily and put up "LOST" posters in the vicinity, hoping that their owners would turn up to reclaim them. No-one showed up.
That's when it dawned unto us that our new friends had been abandoned. Unfortunately, we couldn't house them on a long term basis so after staying with us for over a week, Boss sent them both to the SPCA with the hope that they'd be reunited with their owners or be re-homed.
According to the SPCA, many of the animals would have to be put down if they're not adopted within a specific time-frame, especially if they're "middle-aged" i.e. 6-years-old onwards. It's no wonder Boss was upset when he returned.
One way we can help is to become a member of the SPCA, a non-profit animal welfare organisation which seeks to promote kindness and to prevent cruelty to animals.
And your contribution could just save the life of another living being.
Take care and love your furkids!

Yours paw-pally
