Lost & Found "Jack Russell Terrier"

Last Saturday 16.01.10, we found a JRT @ the carpark. It looked lost & was wandering around the small patch of grass behind the parked cars. Tried to search for any anxious owners - none. He had only his harness on him, no collar/tag - so we guessed it was owned but somehow lost. We brought him back home fearing the nearby stray cats may attack him or risk him being getting knocked down by reversing cars.

Checked him for any visible injuries & then bathed him clean. Kept him in the cage & gave him some water & treats. Then, i posted the notices over the pet forums & informed my friends to circulate the notice via Facebook as well.

Next morning, brought him to walk around the estate hoping to find some posters pasted by the owners or eg. - again, nothing! I reported to SPCA too but there were no reports of any lost JRT. We kept him for another day hoping the owners would come & claim him soon while also waiting for SPCA's call for any report of "lost dog". Still nothing. We are unable to foster him longer as Emma has grown quite territorial & was growling whenever we let the JRT out to wander the house. Twice, Emma almost snapped the dog when he went too near or had tried to enter into our room. We were unable to sleep too due to the fact that the JRT cannot stop whining & turning in circles the whole night! I hasn't slept for 2 nights since he was here. Was afraid too that the noises would cause the neighbours to complain.

We've tried several means - posted notices on forums/circulate notice to friends, walked the dog around the estate looking for anxious owners/posters, printed my own posters & pasted around the blocks too. Even tried contacting volunteers but no shelters have space for him. So after much discussion with my friends & advice from the SPCA staff, i decided to bring him down to SPCA on Monday night, 18.01.10~

Here's more photos taken when he was @ my place~


My sis named him "旺旺" aka Wang Wang

Luckily enough, i always have spare cage/playpens/bowls/accesories at home


Ah Wang is soooo greedy! He would want moreeee food even if he had just finished a big bowl of cooked rice w/ beef!

Enjoying his treat

Sending him off to SPCA~ I really had no other choice.. =(
Am definately going to miss this boy, he's such a good-tempered JRT!

"旺旺" has been sent to the SPCA which we have deduced it to be the best idea for him now while awaiting to reunite with his family.

Tried several means on my end but ended up with no news at all. The staff did the mircrochip scanning but detected none on him & thus, we can only wait for the owners to make a report @ SPCA. Meanwhile they promised to advertise on the papers too.

I had come to an agreement with the staff on the 'animal handling form';- shld the owners not come to claim the dog w/i 10-14 days, SPCA will decide whether he's qualified for adoption - if he's not, they should inform me so i can rehome the JRT. (IMO, if this is a true abandon case - adoption chances should be very high since the dog has such wonderful temperament & is hdb-approved)

Nevertheless, let's just hope this is a truly lost & found case - may Wang Wang be able to return home soon & be reunited with his family!
