Joyous Jojo

My husband and I adopted Jojo from the SPCA on 11 January 2012. He has just turned seven years old and in human years, that makes him the eldest in the family.

It has been three wonderful years since we adopted him and we are happy to report that he is still the same chubby and chatty boy. He still greets us at the door, he always has a comment and he always gets the last word in. Wherever I am in the house, he is surely within sight. He is now older, a little wiser but not any slower on his feet. In fact, he’s quite the lizard catcher!

In a few months’ time, we will be moving to a bigger place with more room for him to roam about. The highlight of his new home will be the balcony (with safety grilles installed of course) where we hope that he can spend his lazy afternoons lolling around and watching the world go by.

Precious Peter

My family and I adopted a one-year-old male hamster at SPCA almost a month ago and I'm proud to say he has become a well-loved member of the family since then. We decided to name him Peter (after our old hamster and since it's also an easy name) and he is the liveliest little ball of fur that never fails to bring us joy, especially after a long day at school or work.

It's been a long time since we last reared hamsters as pets but I'm very glad that we made the decision to adopt Peter. He enjoys scampering around the house in his running ball and has gotten so skilful in steering the ball to avoid hitting the furniture around the house. He absolutely adores little treats like small pieces of apple or vegetables as well as taking his sand bath.

Thank you SPCA for bringing Peter to us. Even though he may just be a small rodent compared to our other pets which are significantly larger, he has never failed to bring a smile to our faces. We are really blessed to have this bundle of joy around our house.

Wonderful Wookiee

I adopted Wookiee (formerly known as Parker) from the SPCA in January 2014. While browsing the SPCA adoption gallery, my only thought was to make sure that he was the right size for me and my family. However, as online profiles go, his profile picture and his real self were total opposites!

Since adopting Wookiee, months have flown by and he has turned out to be the liveliest and most loving dog! He never refuses a pat or a kiss and will ask to play with you for hours on end. When I get home from work, he is the first to greet me with his wagging tail. I have taught him many tricks which he had learnt, even without treats.

I have no regrets adopting Wookiee from SPCA. But I can't help wondering what his previous life was like. He does funny things like circling in a clockwise direction and he is really nervous outdoors. Wookiee has his quirks but that's what makes him special to me and makes me want to protect him for the rest of his life! 

Please enjoy this short video I put together to celebrate his life with me.

Marvellous Monty

Monty, who was formerly Shadow, was adopted from the SPCA in September 2013. He now lives with us in East Sussex in the United Kingdom and absolutely loves his life here – especially the open spaces and the mud, but most of all he loves chasing rabbits! I know that if he could, he would say a big thank you to all at the SPCA for giving him the chance to have such a fun life.

Top Tin

When I adopted Tin, it was one of the best day of my life. I had gone onto the SPCA website to find potential adoptees and that was where I found Tin. I spoke to my parents about adopting him. After a long discussion, they agreed and brought my sister and me to the SPCA to meet him. We were helped by many people at the SPCA. Once we adopted Tin, we brought him home. It took a while, but  after a few months, he settled well into his new life. Tin is a happy dog. I realise that Tin and I were meant for each other. I love him very much.
