[ Update on Alex πΆ ]
Alex was rescued from an abandoned factory in Sungei Kadut a year ago when construction to flatten the compound began. He is currently 11 years old and has lived a long life on the streets. We promise each animal we rescue a better life and Alex was initially living in a foster home after being rescued, however he developed severe and destructive separation anxiety. We've spent a huge sum on behavioural training and a concoction of anxiety medications, had volunteers come over daily to dog sit so his fosterer can go to work. We even tried finding a second fosterer with a live-in helper, however Alex attack the 2nd fosterer's dog out of stress. It reached a point where we felt Alex would do better in a boarding home where there would be someone to watch over him full-time.
It's been a few months since Alex went into long-term boarding, and he is now doing better. We've found a medication where his anxiety is more manageable. He gets regular walks and is on home-cooked food, kindly sponsored by a donor. Alex is vaccinated, sterilised and micro-chipped. He is generally healthy, other than a condition called macrothrombocytopenia, which is of no critical concern.
Despite that, we still feel Alex would do better in a home environment. A kennel is not the better life we had envisioned for Alex and we are often left wondering if we made the right decision to rescue him, however what was once Alex's factory is now a big grass patch. Rescuing Alex was not a matter of "If", but "When".
Alex is a sweet old soul, he just needs to feel a warm body present at home, and when he does, he is full of personality. He simply loves being around humans and is stressed when he isn't.
We are still hopeful for a fosterer for Alex even tho we know the criteria may be difficult to meet.
1. Single pet household/No other pets at home. Due to a prior accident.
2. Someone at home 24/7 (i.e. live-in helper). Due to his separation anxiety.
3. Preferably a landed home, or with a porch/garden. A less confined space might give him a better chance at independency and curb his need to feel a human presence.
We know it's a big ask so DM us to find out more.
