Day Trip to JB and Noah's Ark Adventures

Warning: PICTURES HEAVY POST

Have you heard of Noah's Ark aka Nanas? Its like an Animal shelter previously located in Singapore which then shifted to Malaysia as the govt reclaimed the land.
To understand them better, pls read:http://noahsarkcares.blogspot.sg/

I have been following their post for quite some time, and has always wanted to visit the sanctuary. I FINALLY, FINALLY had the chance to go there!!!!!!!

All thanks to my awesome shelter mates for making it happen! Jac, fengyi and tricia for sourcing the transportation, liasing with the driver and planning the itinerary.

Thanks to all the other people for making the trip so happening :)))

Our itinerary for the day:

9am: Meet at Bugis control station for pick up.

Humans going - Minghui, Jac, Joyce, me, howard( Ah dou), Euguene, Hongwee, Tricia, No friend Lynn, Vivien, Phoebe, Ning and Fengyi.

Dou, me and hongwee

Euguene, hongwee and me - acting cute while waiting for the rest to board

Luckily, the traffic and human traffic at the custom were rather smooth.

Went over to KSL for a quick shopping spree (Me and lynn, guilty as charged) while the others went to grab the donation items and food for the animals :P

Back in the van..

me and lynn with our Tshirts, minghui with her chye sim hahahaha

Popped over at Xie Shao Guang's Vegetarian Restaurant for lunch.

Every one were famished.. The menu has lots and lots of food that I wanted to order, and its really damn cheap - like RM5.50 for a bowl of "lu rou fan" stew pork rice.

Drinks @ RM 1 and dessert at RM2. With RM 8 you can eat till you full.

Sorry for the blur photos.. Waiting for the rest to upload photos from their side before i can post up. I think we took a total of more than 1k pictures altogether?

After lunch we went to shop around the vicinity with quite a number of pet shops, clinics and pets accessories stores.

Random strays we saw outside the pet shop. Look like 门神

This dog is super friendly and sweet. It looked at me and start wagging its tail so hard and came over to ask for cuddles. Awwwww..

K.o-ed in van until NANAS. Everyone was so excited upon reaching :D

Paradise here we come...

Outside Noah's ark gate

Prepping ourselves with insect repellant

carrying the donations items, dua bao suay bao

This little sweet dog is our guide of the day

All the small breed dogs.. Fat jack russell and uber cute daushund

In the waiting point

Vivien and her wide cheese

U see!!! Like a small short bolster

Epic expression

Vivien's favourite shot. Salute to this dog. They themselves dont self pity, we should show them respect too.

Cookie, a dog with deformed hind legs. Then again, she isnt affected by that fact too. It is ever so cheerful and will drag its leg everywhere with us.

I cant rotate the pictures, so bear with it!
Manly pose of Cesar soo. HAHAH

The guard dog of horse stable

Nice pic of Phoebe

Shalom, the pack leader.

Wahaha, im always ready ;P

See, even Jac is amazed by my agility in posing.

So fierce for what!

You see this one so friendly

First group pic :) The white dog pose isnt very nice.

There are 2 monkeys: Starbucks and Latte.
This particular one is very naughty, it likes to put his hand out and pull the dog's tail.

This monkey always ouhh ouhh ouhh 叫

See! Cookie followed us here!

The path to horse stable..

This is Melody , a retired horse from Tang Dynasty

Cesar soo at her playground

Brave Lynn..

I hold on to a carrot for like 15 mins, and decided to give the carrot away to Euguene because I dont dare to feed. *What.... 怕有罪啊？！*

The dogs are totally enjoying themselves..

How I wish our dogs can do the same, but as long as they are in Singapore, they can forget about it :(

Leading the carefree life in this paradise

Meet Max - the rottweiller mixed.

He may seem like a tough guy, you will never imagine that he loves to big smooches

Evidence

A cute mutt outside the cattery

My first time in a cattery

And my first time coming in contact with so many cats

And also my first time touching them!

Zoning out.. i wonder what is she daydreaming about?

Weird pose?

Kua simi?! U stare again i scratch u!
and that is what she/he did to the poor dog... in 2seconds, the dog's blood was dripping

This is one of the dogs that can live together with the cats

This make shift shelter is so ZEN

Perky smile :D

Checking out other areas of Nanas

Coco look alike

Another dog with one of its leg amputated. Most of these dogs lost their legs due to hit-and-run accidents. Pitiful, but they are coping well now

I will name this dog Teddy

Hello Twinkle why are u here?! and U have grown bigger too

无法无天

MH caring for one poor dog

It has raw wounds resulting from probably dog fights.

Dog fights are inevitable as so many of them are co-existing together. this is just one of the examples, I have seen a few more with more serious wounds too :(

But Noah's Ark did their best to look out for dogs with wounds and would apply medication on them. So, in a way they are still in good hands.

What more to ask for when you have a shelter over your head, food to eat, freedom to run around and a chance to live?

Compared to the strays and dogs in puppy mills, these dogs are leading a better life.
