Posted on by APawz

Singapore, 19 October 2010 –
For the 1st time multiply players in the pet scene in Singapore are joining hands to do their bit for animal community as part of the World Animals’ Day (WAD) celebrations. WAD is a month-long event celebrated round the world in October every year to remind us of the myraid of animals whom we share the planet with and to reflect on the ways that make our world a better place in which to co-exist with.
A pet wellness centre, pet food supplier, veterinary clinic and canine trainer have teamed up to raise funds for Animal Concerns Research and Education Society (ACRES), an animal protection charity, and also to promote the adoption of homeless animals in shelters, through a theatre screening of “earthlings”, an award-winning documentary film about the suffering of animlas for food, fashion, pets, entertainment and medical research.
Powerful, informative and thought-provoking, Earthlings is by far the most comprehensive documentary produced on the relationship between nature, animals and human economic interests. The film, directed by Shaun Monson, is narrated by two time Academy Award nominee Joaquin Phoenix and features music by the critically acclaimed platinum artist Moby. More about the movie at http:://www.earthlings.com/.
Supported by Shaw Organisation, a vegan dinner reception followed by a charity screening will be held from 6 pm on 1 November at Shaw Cineplex Bugis where fund raised will be donated to ACRES
In conjuction with the event, multilateral initiative involving various players in the pet industry will be launched to promote the adoption of homeless animals in shelters here. Pet wellness cetre Petopia, pet food distributor Link2Link, Acacia Veterinary Clinic and Aristomilago Pawzllywood Academy of DogSports (APawz) will be annoucing their assistance to adoptive families of shelter animals to aid them in rehabiliating these animals and giving them a new lease of life.

Inorder to increase the chances of shelter dogs being adopted or rehome. APawz provided free training to shelter for free.
In yr 2009, we provided 8 training sessions for Noah’s Ark volunteers.
Training with the girls are very enjoyable.

Great news before end of Year 2009

Posted on by APawz

Most dog owners know about the negative training method such as Choker and Prong Collar. As there is an increase in dog abuse and dogs beingĀ abandon, APAWZ decided to assist Noah’s Ark to have their rehome rate increase.

As those dogs are of unique cases and mostly are mongrel, i decided to teach them another training method which is ClickerĀ &Ā K9 handling skills on mongrelĀ &Ā aggression/timid dogs.Ā 

On September 2009, i started to train the 1st batch of Noah’s Ark volunteers for free. We used those abandoned dogsĀ & puppies, which no one wanted to adopt and those volunteer who has problem with their dogs, for our training.

Two months later, sometime in November 2009, i am so happy that thru the training programme, two puppies mongrel were successful rehome to good families without any complains. Although it was a good news, but i am quite sad that no one wanted to adopt the adult mongrel.

UntilĀ 18 December 2009. i received a special Merry Christmas email from Fiona and Lynda, Vice President of Noah’s Ark. It is a good news that one adult mongrel which undergo our training programme had successful rehome. What a great news:)

Last but not least, i enjoyed training with Noah’s Ark volunteer šŸ™‚
