2 years ago, I was abandoned. My heart broke, but I survived. Time heals and I am on the mend, so please give me some time. I am still walking this journey called learning, and will need some love and care to trust again. I am definitely your low maintenance gal, and will be easily contended with some treats and frequent walks. I'm sweet but also sensitive and will let you know if your attention or touch is too much. I am not looking for diamonds and roses, just some love and patience to help me blossom. Just an ordinary gal, looking for an extraordinary pal.

Hello hoomans! My name is Katniss or I am better known to some as KahLua (try googling my name, you might like me already). Beauty is not in the face, beauty is in the heart. I may not be the cutest of the lot, but I have a kind and loving heart. I've been through thick and thin, including a few pregnancies, but I've still got fire in me. I just need some patience and time to warm up to new people. Wits and caution were my second nature which has led me through hardships in the past as a young mummy so please give me some time to open up myself to you as old habits die hard. Despite this, I have a tame character with lots of love and kindness to share with a family who too would love me and is willing to introduce me to a secure and happy lifestyle. I am also known as the “puppy eye expert” with floppy ears, and am petite in size. Compared to the first day when I stepped foot into the shelter, I have made improvements in leaps and bounds with some guidance. I am thankful for the patience I have received during my adapting phase. I hope my new found family would have canine experience, as I need to learn what it is like to be a loved family pet. Fun fact: I'm Alfa and Bravo's mummy. *Origin* 3 years ago, I gave birth to my little ones when I was a stray living an insecure life, constantly hiding, rummaging for food, exploring habitats to ensure my babies were safe. Without much choices, I sought refuge within a premise in the Eastern side of Singapore because it seemed like a safe place for them. I would sneak away when my pups were soundly asleep to search for food. Sometimes I got lucky, kind strangers laid packets of bought rice, while other days was harder to survive, but my babies were growing. They cried a lot because they were often hungry and complains were soon lodged. Rescuers reached out to bring my kids to a safer place while I was out to search for food. I didn’t know the good intentions of these rescuers as I had never felt human warmth up-close.

Throwback to when life was good and everything was rosy… my siblings and I grew up at Mandai with doting feeders bringing us daily meals. We were nicknamed the 4M - Marco, Mario, Mandy & Marion, patrolling the Mandai area! One day, without warning, our home was destroyed to make way for new developments in that area and our lives were threatened. 😰 When all things appeared bleak, thankfully our caretaker did not abandon us. He found us a roof over our heads and a temporary home in FMN ❤️🏡 My 2 other siblings - Marco and Mandy came to FMN shelter with me and many people have told us that we look strikingly similar to one another. Both have found their furever families and I hope I can soon too

Once bitten, twice shy. I was once hurt by humans, and till today, I am still haunted by my past. But as they say, life is a never-ending journey of learning. I'm ready to put my past behind me and learn to socialise well with humans and other dogs. I am just an energetic dog learning to have some fun. I would be a perfect addition to your active lifestyle. Hopefully somewhere out there, there'll be someone patient and firm enough to help me through this. I would be a perfect addition to your active lifestyle.
