Today, we said goodbye to an old friend...
|
Courtney was rescued as a tiny puppy nearly 13 years ago, back when CAS first opened its doors at Seletar Farmway. She was born at a construction site in Tampines alongside her three sisters, named after the Kardashians. One by one, her sisters found homes. But somehow, Courtney never quite did.
After three failed home stays, it became clear that the shelter was the only place where she truly felt safe. CAS became her home, Sandy and Harry became her best friends. Here, she found comfort, familiarity, and people who loved her exactly as she was. A few years ago, Courtney was diagnosed with degenerative myelopathy and given only eight months to live. But true to her resilient spirit, she stayed with us for three more years. Slowly, the disease took away her mobility — first her back legs, then her front legs — until movement itself became impossible. Watching her body fail while her spirit still wanted so badly to run was one of the hardest things we’ve had to witness. But Courtney was deeply loved every step of the way. We are incredibly fortunate to have volunteers who have stood beside us for more than a decade, people who loved Courtney through every season of her life. Together, we gave her all the comfort we could: gentle care, familiar faces, little adventures, and recently, a final special day out complete with roast chicken, one of her favourite treats. We will remember Courtney for her quiet strength and the way she kept going despite everything her body was putting her through. We choose to believe she is finally free again. Free to run, free from pain, free from the body that held her back for far too long. |
Run wild, sweet Courtney.
Have all the adventures you were never able to have. Until we meet again. |
Thank you Buddy Bites!

Shelter Update: Growing Older Together
|
As many of our longtime residents continue to age, we are seeing more of the challenges that come with senior dogs. While we are committed to giving each of them comfort, dignity, and love, some are now requiring significantly more medical support and daily care. One dog in particular, Courtney, has recently experienced serious muscle deterioration. Over the past months, her mobility has declined greatly, and she is now unable to walk on her own. Despite this, Courtney remains gentle, alert, and comforted by familiar voices, soft bedding, and the dedicated care she receives every day. Caring for aging dogs like Courtney means increased veterinary visits, mobility support equipment, medications, assisted feeding, and around-the-clock attention. These senior dogs may not have many years left, but we believe those years still deserve compassion, safety, and love. We know updates like this can be difficult to read, but we also believe it is important to share the realities of rescue work, especially for senior and long-term shelter residents. Courtney’s spirit continues to inspire us, and we remain committed to making her as comfortable as possible. Thank you to everyone who supports our mission and helps us continue caring for dogs through every stage of life. |

Gone to Good Homes!

Luna’s journey hasn’t been the smoothest, adopted as a puppy, she was recently returned to us due to changes in her family’s circumstances. But true to her resilient and adaptable spirit, Luna didn’t let that dim her light
It didn’t take long before she captured the hearts of Jena and Emmanuel, who were searching for a rescue dog to complete their family. And just like that, Luna found her second chance! We are incredibly grateful to Jena and Emmanuel for opening their hearts and stepping up for Luna when she needed it most. Stories like hers remind us that sometimes, the right home just takes a little longer to find but it’s worth the wait. |

From island girl to home sweet home!
Lola was rescued from an offshore island as part of a TNRM project, and today she’s one of the many island pups who has found a place to truly call her own. When Nerissa and Iggy were looking to welcome a furry companion into their beautiful family, they met Lola… and well, hearts melted instantly. It was love at first sniff! Like many newly rescued dogs, the world of home life was a brand new adventure for Lola — routines, meal times, toilet schedules… all unfamiliar territory. But with lots of patience, gentle guidance, and so much love from Nerissa and Iggy, Lola slowly found her rhythm. She’s now thriving as part of her amazing new family. We’re so grateful to Nerissa and Iggy for opening their hearts and home to their very first adopted dog, and for giving a Singapore Special the life she deserves! |

With time, patience and plenty of love, he slowly blossomed. Today, he’s found his happily ever after with Angeline and her hubby Now renamed Reumi, he’s starting a brand new chapter filled with comfort, care and love. Thank you for adopting folks! |
