Fellow volunteer, Jennica has been dedicated to helping shelter dogs in Singapore for years, especially the dogs at SOSD Singapore and OSCAS (Oasis Second Chance Animal Shelter). Last year during the circuit breaker, Jennica and her husband decided to foster CX, a lovable senior dog from OSCAS who they have been actively helping with her health issues.

We had a chat with her about looking after her seniors.

Healthcare Tips for Senior Dogs: Arthritis and Joint Pain Management - Part 1

January 27, 2021

We first noticed it in the morning, when instead of having a wet nose and enthusiastic waggy wake-up, we saw our dog sleepily and slowly get up, stretch gently and then limp his way towards us. The limp would slowly reduce during the walk, as his joints warmed up for the day. From happy, energetic long walks to now slower, sniffing sessions, we have seen the changes that life brings along with the marching of time.

Moving Countries with your Pet Series: Singapore to Germany

August 24, 2020

Annika used to volunteer with us at OSCAS (Oasis Second Chance Animal Shelter) and we sadly had to say goodbye to her but also happy as she was taking Pepper! Five-year-old Pepper had been through some upsetting times as she was left behind suddenly by her first family, who returned to the UK without her. Fortunately, we found her an initial fosterer so she did not need to return to the shelter that night she was let go. From then on she was fostered by Annika, who fell in love with this smart, easy-going girl and could never ever leave her. Together they flew back to Germany just before Singapore went into lockdown and here is how they did it.

Moving Countries with your Pet Series : USA to Singapore | Singapore to USA

March 07, 2020

Our second Moving with your Pets Series covers transporting your dog and cat between The USA and Singapore.

Moving Countries with your Pet Series: Australia to Singapore | Singapore to Australia

January 17, 2020

Our third Moving with your Pet Series covers transporting your dog from and to Singapore and Australia. As a nation, Australia has strict laws on import of animals, so advance planning will go a long way, specially if you plan to adopt a dog in Singapore. These moves were the first time for both families to move with their pet dog and they couldn't be happier to have done. We hope these real-life experiences will offer reference and guidance to keep your furry family members together.

June 16, 2019

Fred Leow, an AVS (Animal & Veterinary Service) accredited dog trainer, was the first dog trainer we met in Singapore through volunteering at OSCAS (Oasis Second Chance Animal Shelter), where he shared his knowledge and tips on helping to walk dogs that had never walked outside their kennels on a leash. He introduced us to the benefits of using a harness, long leash and positive reinforcement – valuable knowledge that has made a remarkable difference in helping shelter dogs gain confidence in a safe and comfortable way. Fred is a trainer who has evolved or rather “crossed over” through sheer experience working with, observing and understanding dogs to their core. Here’s some insights he shared with us.
