Dog found weak & limping in Punggol
Local charity Causes for Animals – Singapore (CAS) posted about the plight of Nuan Nuan on Facebook on Sunday (28 Jan).
According to CAS, the canine’s usual feeder found him weak and limping in Punggol.
CAS volunteers went after Nuan Nuan in the deep grass and managed to trap him.

Dog in Punggol has leg fractures from accidents
The group brought Nuan Nuan to the vet, where the doctor found that he had fractures in both hind legs.
This was apparently the result of the dog being involved in two hit-and-run accidents.
After the accident, Nuan Nuan “wobbled into the bushes” and was “left for death” there, CAS said.

More than S$12,000 needed for medical bills
To fix Nuan Nuan’s injuries, S$12,000 is needed, CAS said.
On top of that, the canine will also need physiotherapy after the treatment.
This is so that he can regain the ability to walk effectively, CAS explained.
CAS appeals for donations, tax exemption available
The group is now appealing for donations from the public to help foot Nuan Nuan’s medical bills.
According to the Emergency Aid Appeal on CAS’ website, those who wish to help may donate via PayPal, PayNow, Internet banking, ATM or cheque.
As CAS has Institution of Public Character (IPC) status, donations of at least S$10 qualify for a 250% tax exemption.
If the funds they receive exceed Nuan Nuan’s medical bill, the surplus will be funnelled to animals under their community care programme.
Visit CAS’ fund-raising page to find out how to donate.
