A Sweet Bond
There once was a sad dog named Vince. He was the product of a bitter divorce after the wife was forced to give Vince up. Vince was not only sad, he also had a heart murmur as well as skin and ear infections. When Vince was fostered with Tahirah, he was moody most of the […]
Lamb Chop wins the hearts
Nugget, Szu’s dog for 16 years, finally succumbed to several illnesses in March. At that time, SOSD had just rescued a senior ex-breeding poodle and other dogs from a puppy farm. Szu felt compelled to help the senior poodle. However, she had some concerns. Adopting a senior dog could mean yet another heartbreak. Further, Szu […]
Babe had stolen our hearts
I first laid eyes on this baby during SOSD’s inaugural pedigree adoption drive. My family was looking to adopt a medium-aged to senior JRT as we had fostered my partner’s 14-year old JRT previously and my parents were endeared to him. As my parents were getting on in years, we decided that we may not […]

Aimee was looking for a […]
Run free Coco
Coco would have turned 13 today. Coco came into our lives four months back. She was still a puppy at heart with the most gorgeous and expressive eyes. All one needed to do was to look into her puppy eyes once and your heart melted! I do not know much of her early days but […]
Happily Ever After
Happily ever after does not only exist in fairytales, at least not for Bebe and Poh. Bebe was raised on a fish farm and developed cataract in her eyes that resulted in her frequently falling into the sea. The caretaker was worried that Bebe would drown and called SOSD for help to rehome Bebe. Big-hearted […]
Angela and Buttons
“I first came across Buttons’ profile in an SOSD’s Facebook post. When I read about her age (14 years old) and her deafness, I figured not many people would be keen to take on so old a dog. And the story of her family putting her to sleep (needlessly) after so many years with her, […]
