Jurong Dog, affectionately known as JD

I travel down after work and reach around 6.45pm. We plan to take Jurong Dog (JD) to the clinic to see his leg. Zeus volunteers had reached and park along the road side.I pat pat him and gave him some chicken meat while waiting for Zeus volunteers to walk over to us. The road is closed and cars are not allowed to drive in. We want JD to walk along with us for at least half way to the main road before we catch him.

Everyday he wait at the same place for me. This is his home

MeiZhen with JD

We try to trick him to walk halfway out but he stop halfway
(Can see his left front leg maybe broken)



We talk to him and tell him we take him to the Dr but he didnt trust us

 But he refused to walk with us. I try to trick him with chicken meat and it was unsuccessful. Zeus volunteers think of a way which was drive in the van on the grass and go near, in order to catch JD. He allow me to pat pat him and he sat beside me while Zeus volunteers drove the van over as to get closer to JD in order to catch him. I trying to trap JD with the help of Zeus volunteers but was not successful. JD is a smart boy. He trust us but he was afraid to leave with us.

He ran away from us after seeing the van parking near him. I keep call him while I walked over with a collar n leash they lend me. I want to put it on for him in order to catch him. I pat pat him and talk to him before I put on the collar. He ran away from me when I was about to click on the collar . He wouldnt want to walk out of his"home". He ran into the bushes. He didn’t want to eat also. So I leave the food on the grass for him.
We try to catch him again on Sunday.

Jurong Dog

I first saw him around mid of April 2010, when I was on the way home by bus. Jurong Dog lived alone. I would feed him from Mondays to Fridays, between 6.30pm to 7.00pm. I will feed him and pat pat him but will usually go off when the sky is getting dark because it is a dark and scary place for people to be alone. I will not go over if it's pouring.

This is where Jurong Dog lives. He wait here for me everyday.

I will usually feed him with chicken and milk. I bring his food to work and after work, I take to go and feed him. I help him because he is alone. He is a lonely doggy. He has no friends, no shelter from the sun or rain. Only plants and trees.

He have no food, no water, no shelter and no friends. He is a lonely doggy.

This road is no more in use but he still live here. Maybe last time he had owner.

His front leg got injured a few months ago. I didn't know how he got injured but he started to walk with three legs. I feel very sorry for him. I am planning to catch him this week and take him to the vet to check his injured leg and also to sterilize him. I contacted Zeus volunteers and they will help me to catch him and help me to take him to the vet.



Jurong Dog walks with a limp

This is Jurong Dog and I am his only friend. Can somebody help him please?

I hope to find a foster to look after him after his visit to the vet or maybe someone can help to put him in a boarding kennel. I am trying to ask around the animal shelters but so far, nobody has got back to me yet. I am also trying to find him a home. I know it is not easy.


He is a sweet doggy, I hope somebody will help him. He is a quiet boy, I didn't hear his bark before.


If you can help this Jurong doggy, please contact me at 9488 6681(Meizhen)

Many Many Many Dogs!

On Valentine’s Day, we didn’t receive a bouquet of 23 roses. Instead, we received a surprise of 23 dogs and 14 cats! A shocking discovery was made. A lady was found to have many animals in her HDB apartment. While it is not uncommon to have people owning more than one pet, this lady had 16 dogs and 14 cats living under one roof. “Many animals” is obviously an understatement.

This lady had called up a pet transport provider, Anderson, asking for help to send 5 puppies to the SPCA. Anderson thought about the negative consequences of leaving the dogs at the SPCA and told the lady that if the dogs were still young, there are hopes of them finding homes. Anderson then proceeded to ask the lady for details of the puppies. While the lady was trying to relay the dog’s descriptions to her, Anderson noticed that there seemed to be more than 5 dogs! She decided to ask Mel and Mun Ee, animal welfare volunteers to pay this lady a visit. To everyone’s surprise, they found out that this lady had a house full of dogs and cats! Mel immediately asked this lady how she had gotten herself into this situation and her miserable plight surfaced.

This lady, a Thai national in her forties, initially started out by taking care of her friend’s pets. Unfortunately, her friends never came back to claim their dogs. Over time, the number of dogs (and cats) in her household increased. The real problem lies here: Most of dogs were NOT STERILIZED. Out of the 14 dogs, only 3 were neutered. Animals should never be made to suffer because of irresponsible humans. Through their natural instincts, the animals started to breed endlessly. The lady, earning a measly sum of $900 a month, could barely afford food for the many animals in her home, let alone afford their sterilization. She tried to separate the males from the females when they were on heat, but her efforts were futile as “accidents” occurred, not just once but many times! With the amount of noise the animals made, a complaint was made to AVA, who then stepped in to investigate. When AVA found out about the numerous animals, they ordered the lady to have all the animals removed within two weeks. She was desperate for help and in dire straits, the lady then decided to send the dogs to the SPCA. This was when Anderson, Mel and Zeus Communications stepped in to offer help.

Anderson and Mel immediately organized an adoption drive for the dogs and that’s when more dogs were discovered! They found another four 19-day old puppies at the lady’s house. They were huddled in a corner, eyes barely open.

During the adoption drive, a volunteer noticed that something was not right with a dog named Wang Wang. They then realized that Wang Wang was pregnant! True enough, with the next one week, she gave birth to two puppies. One puppy survived, the other didn’t as it got stuck during the birthing process.

The dogs are currently still at the lady’s house waiting to be adopted.
