There were only four puppies at the shelter, so choosing was easy – or so I thought. Dad was spoilt for choice. “This one looks cute”; “This one has nice fur coat”; “This one looks fierce”; “This one barks a lot”, he commented. After observing the pups for a while, Dad finally chose the one that met his criterion – the barking pup – or should I call her the yapping pup for she yapped at anything and everything. Haha. Such a darling!
Of course, we were barred from taking the pup home immediately. The ISPCA adheres strictly to its policy of conducting a thorough inspection of the soon-to-be owner’s home and living condition before giving the thumbs up – an effort which I second. It just goes to show that the shelter puts its residents’ welfare above everything else instead of merely just wanting to get rid of them. A true guardian of the furries! The whole adoption process took a little more than a week – 9 days to be precise. She was finally delivered to Dad today by the ISPCA.
It’s such joy knowing that animals are given a second shot at life in the animal sanctuaries. It’s even more joyful giving these animals a third chance at finding happiness in our homes. However, it’s perpetual bliss knowing that we have played a part in making that happen.
Karma awaits us in every corner. Do good and we will receive goodness. Do bad and we reap what we sow.
Let's all help in getting more animals out of the streets and shelters and into good homes with loving people. Let's give them a shot at happiness. That feeling itself is nirvana.
