These dogs await some JUSTICE

From a life of domesticity to the dangers of street life, these pet dogs were forced by human action (or inaction) to forage for food, fend off existing stray packs, seek shelter from the December monsoon, avert oncoming cars and battle with the encroachment of ticks, mites and fleas.

From hopelessly waiting for news of their whereabouts to going on a wildgoose chase for the lost dogs, from hearing tall tales from irresponsible owners to threat calls and virus-infected SMSes, from getting involved with unreliable caretakers to settling them down at their new shelter... the rescue journey for Ginne and Junior, two dogs suspected to have been abandoned by their owners, has been only unexpectedly arduous.

To date, these duo are fighters in their own right and loving gals who ultimately long for a home.

Junior is all-black while Ginne is black/tan.

Feb. 03, 2007: Junior and Ginne boarding at a private shelter. Both were significantly thinner and suffering from extensive diarrhoea. Junior was also suffering from rashes - hair loss.

Dec. 18, 2006

Feb. 7, 2007: taken to the vet. While Junior's loose stools problem improved, her rashes problem was a bit worrying (chest and belly).

Quite shockingly, the dogs were much thinner than when they were found. Their ribcages showed more protrudingly than before.

Feb. 24, 2007: the gals were happy to see us. We were just as happy to see them!

Junior coming up to give the camera lens a good wipe.

As with almost all cases, we seek your help in contributing to the gals' lodging fees. It was beyond our imagination to see them living at shelters after they were rehomed to a supposedly good home. As the girls are hardly the "street dogs" they were born out to be, we are also on the lookout for good families who can take them in as family companions. A walk with the dogs is ever such a blessed thing.
