Mission: Save Boy Boy

Dear All,

Rane's friend is fostering 2 puppies, 1 of which is seriously ill and require surgeries and medications.

The following is an excerpt from Rane's friend posting on a local forum:

"2 weeks ago my friend saved 2 puppies from drowning, they had lost their mummy.. I am now taking care of them.. But unfortunately 1 of the puppy is very sick now.. I am not working so i cant afford to pay his medical bill, but i have discussed with my friend, i am very upset that i think she is not going to let this poor puppy to receive any medical treatment because the vet told me the puppy is very weak, he may die, so i feel that she doesn't want to "waste" the $ treating him.."

Just looking at the different between their sizes,
it's easy to see how weak Boy Boy is in comparison
to his sibling ( Ah Pui) from the same litter.

Gender: Boy

Boy Boy
Age: Approximately 1 month plus
Gender: Boy
Breed: Singapore Dog aka Mongrel

Taken an interest in Ah Pui or Boy Boy?

Should you be keen to adopt Ah Pui or Boy Boy (after he has recovered), do send a private message to thread starter on the forum or post a comment on Boy Boy's blog. Alternatively, you can send me an email, and I'll convey the message to Ah Pui's and Boy Boy's fosterer.

Just a note of caution:
Please do not adopt a dog on the spur of moment; do consider your commitment level and capabilities to support a dog before adopting/purchasing one. A dog is for life.

For whatever conditions it may be, please do not resell Boy Boy and Ah Puis for commercial purposes.

Lastly, may Boy Boy gain a speedy recovery. I will be cheering him on.

Hi Sugar,
Happy to meet another beagle, esp one just down south. Hope boy boy recovers. I'm glad you included a caveat at the end of the blog. Mum & I believe strongly that humans should consider carefully before adopting a dog. We know of too many people who have given up their dogs because they could not cope. It' not fair to the dog.
