27th Apr 2016, by AnimalCare
The full article is here. Please do read it.

Adoption Spotlight - Dino
27th Apr 2016, by SPCA Singapore
ADOPTION SPOTLIGHT - DINO
Dino came to SPCA as a lost dog. His owner never claimed him and as such, Dino was placed for adoption. He was adopted shortly thereafter, but unfortunately, the adopter was leaving the country for good and there was no one else to take care of Dino. So Dino is once again looking for a home.

26th Apr 2016, by Noah's Ark CARES
A very real but less known issue faced over at our sanctuary NANAS – is the danger of snakes.

Wolf Myths That Continue To Threaten Wolves
26th Apr 2016, by AnimalCare
There were once hundreds of thousands of gray wolves in the U.S., but the European settlers persecuted wolves almost to the point of extinction.
Read the full article here.
Some excerpts:
Do Wolves Attack People?
Wolves are not the human-eating predators they’re portrayed to be in movies and books. You’re more likely to be killed by lightening, an ATV accident or in an elevator than you are to be killed by a wolf.4
There have been only two human deaths due to wild wolf attacks in ...
