Van DammeAs I was massaging Van Damme’s light, tan coat with shampoo, the enthusiasm evident in his wagging tail brightened up his countenance until the very end of his refreshing bath.
“Is somebody going to adopt me yet?” I could almost see the question in Van Damme’s eyes, which were glistening with excitement. He was more than eager to get out of his kennel, probably in the hope that he had finally found a new home.
Van Damme was abandoned at the shelter about a year and a half ago. He is kept in a separate den from the other dogs. But don’t let his isolation give you the wrong impression—Van Damme is one of the friendliest dogs at the shelter. It’s just that he’s very affectionate, and sometimes, he wants all the attention. He would be perfect as an only dog in the family. He’s a very energetic male dog, and will appreciate daily exercise. A strong, firm grip on his leash will also be essential, in case his sense of adventure gets the better of him. He also tends to be very playful with people and with cats, although he never harms them. He enjoys baths, especially when you start massaging his coat.
This charming dog is approximately three years old. He’s neutered and dewormed, and has had all the necessary vaccines. Although he has a kidney problem, it can be treated with medication.
Van Damme is waiting for the family he seems so
ready to devote his life too. But until then, the closest thing he’ll get to a home will be his dog kennel at the shelter, where he’s cared for by the PARC staff. Won’t you give this lively dog another reason to jump for joy?

Just when Christmas was about to come, Chubby found himself abandoned by his human, all alone on the doorstep of PARC. Beside him, though, was a colored ball, almost like a bittersweet message from his owner, telling us that he was loved but could no longer be kept. Today, Chubby still keeps that ball near him, waiting for the day when he can happily run around with a human again, ball in mouth.
Chubby is about 4 years old, an energetic male. He seems to have some Labrador in his blood, what with his deep brown eyes and pristine white coat. He must have been chubby when he first arrived, which was why he was given that name. Over the months, however, missing a home and initially being set apart from the other dogs in PARC has saddened him and affected his appetite, making him a lot less than chubby nowadays.

Me at International School Family Fun Day Adoption Booth,
Emil is a deep thinker, a doggy philosopher. He seems to listen to your every word, and it’s almost as if he wants to say something important in return. Emil is easy to handle on a leash, and a good walk cheers him up. Small things, like a gentle stroke or a caring human voice, can make him happy. He likes to cross his front paws while lying on the ground before closing his eyes to get some sleep. But his senses are incredibly sharp; move close to his spot, and his eyes quickly open.
