There are many addresses. Oh and ts, when you talk about getting a dog, can you please use the word 'adopt' instead of buy. When you say buy, and you are referring to an animal, you sound like a lousy ass owner. (of course that doesnt mean I think you are a bad pet owner)
I have a dog now in a HDB appartment. It's a jack russel terrier 7 years old this year. My family and I raised the dog since it was 3 months old.
pls consider adopting one from the SPCA!
adoption also can... Vivocity last level got this Pet Safari... can check there.
ya, i'm all for the adoption rather than buying..
many pets have been abondoned by their owners & plz think carefully coz having a pet is a commitment..
I hate people who buy pets on impulse only to find out that these dogs eg: Jack russel are prone tend to drop it's fur and are not cute any more.
and then abandon them
so pls do consider carefully.
Fyi, the cost of rearing a dog/month can be >than a human, in terms of food and medication.
not only dogs, cats too..
i juz simply love cats..
all other pets inclusive of dogs needs lots of time and attention.
Remember this
The Ten Commandments of Dog Ownership/pet ownership
1. My life just lasts for ten to fifteen years. Any separation from you will be painful for me. Remember that before you choose to buy me.
2. Give me time to understand what you want.
3. Please trust me! That's what I'm happy with...
4. Don't be angry at me for a long time or lock me up as punishment. You have your work, your entertainment and your friends. But I only have you.
5. Talk to me sometimes. Eventhough I don't understand your words, but I can still understand your tone when you talk.
6. Be aware that however you treat me, I'll never forget.
7. Remember before you hit me that I have teeth that could easily crush the bones of your hand but I chose not to bite you.
8. Before you scold me for being uncooperative, obstinate or lazy, Ask yourself if something might be bothering me. Perhaps I'm not getting the right food, or I've been out in the sunfor too long, or my heart is getting old and weak.
9. Take care of me when I am getting old...
10.Please be with me on any difficult journeys. Please never say, "I can't bear to watch it" or "Let it happen in my absence." Everything is easier for me if you are here. Remember...I Love you always.
dats a gd one..

i dun quite understand your logic..... cos i thot adoption is free, that is when ppl give away their pets? that is why i use buy.... i think that buying a pet is ok, i really like to have a pet and i will take care of it.... and i am a very straight forward person, i'm paying for it and the shop is selling it. i dun know why you want me to use the word 'adopt' , when i'm not getting it from spca or really adopting a puppy..... funny leh? like trying to make myself sounds good, while i'm buying a pet.....
Puppies are cute wor....

I just think the word 'buy' when used to refer to animals sounds bad because last time on MTV there was one show called 'Sweet sixteen' or something right? A few of those bimbo girls said they want to 'buy' a puppy for their birthday. 'Buy' seems to be for like inanimate objects right?

i think is up to the person... if a farmer is planning to start a animal farm he will need to buy animal right? he wont say i need to adopt a cow and a chicken plus a duck right? althought those are not puppies, but they are still animals......
there are projects in the world where the person is "loaned" lifestock or seed crop... and when the farm is sustainable, the person does the same for the next farmer
From the SPCA please...too many people have given up and left their pets there.
