Rainy Saturday, V decided to

put dogfood for our 7 in the now-vacant shed so the boys wouldn't have to eat in the rain. Kibbles, meshed with bread and meat, in the basins.

Then, the same man who threatened to trap our 7 and cull them stormed out from his cabin to shed, grabbed the basins of food and hurled them straight into the mud. Food wasted right before V's eyes, I can only say it broke V's heart.

The lorry-driver who had instructed an Indian worker to help V place the food under the shed was so mad he almost got into a fist fight with our dog-hating man. A heartwrenching episode, but a reinforcement to our plan to MOVE our 7 next week.

Yes, we will move them out of the farm with immediate effect next week. After weeks of sourcing around, negotiation and discussion, we found the temporary refuge where we can safely entrust our 7 at. At close to S$2,300... this is how much it will cost our dogs for the first month.

Great thanks to supporters who'd stepped forth to donate to our 7's boarding... we're still some 60% short of covering for their expenses of moving our 7 and their boarding and maintenance.

It's the highest amount we ever appeal to the public to in helping any group of animals, but in good faith, we believe we'll be able to garner all the support we need in according our 7 their safe shelter for now.

Next week, we see our energies channelled to transiting our 7 to the shelter for the first time in their lives, leaving their birthplace of vast field, burnt wood and running water forever.

In good faith, we appeal to your kind financial support for their boarding, vaccination, transport, deticking and heartworm test fees. If you'd like to stretch your hand for our 7, as we make this important decision for them that will change their lives forever, email us at projectjk@gmail.com

With Lil' Anne's settling miraculously fine at her foster, we are heartened and encouraged. By the possibility of LIFE, the hope that faith and humanity give rise to. THANK YOU.
