Now they live with us and our friends. Chee Kueh - the biggest dog up front, bless his heart - came into the Build With Me home after being fostered for one year with no adoption enquiries. He passed away in 2024 suddenly, but we remember him everyday. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6958e0cf1a0b902d3e5050af/69939113-2381-4d00-b362-ef8f53cb70bb/IMG-20240125-WA0014.jpg Rescues At 4 months old, Ranger was trapped in Sembawang Forest as part of the TNR programme. He grew up in the shelter and couldn't get adopted out as he was fearful of people. At age 3, we took him out for rehabilitation and he learned how to walk leashed and socialise with people. After a period of being fostered by a lovely couple, he was adopted out and now has a forever home. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6958e0cf1a0b902d3e5050af/e40dcd44-7014-4d3f-affc-dbc8f206ce4d/IMG-20241101-WA0001.jpg Rescues Back in 2024, Willow - at 4 months old - sprained both of her front limbs after jumping from a height at the shelter. She couldn't quite walk after that, and had to have both limbs wrapped with splints. She has since recovered and has been rehomed in Singapore. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6958e0cf1a0b902d3e5050af/6cb934be-dd48-45f3-ae22-85d57f92d0ce/20251227_180202.jpg Rescues Cloud is being fostered in the Build With Me studio at the time of writing. He was rescued by the shelter with a giant hunk of dead flesh on his shoulder, caused by someone pouring hot oil on him. This piece of dead flesh was surgically removed, but a scar remains. Thanks to a private rescuer, he is now looking for his forever home in Singapore. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6958e0cf1a0b902d3e5050af/537a00db-9e03-4aa6-bc91-9a79ec1e358e/20240420_130358.jpg Rescues We no longer know where this puppy is. This picture was captured in late 2024 when we spent a day at the shelter, and we haven't seen her since. She may have passed away already. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6958e0cf1a0b902d3e5050af/1362ca66-5529-41ad-8467-9cae851366a5/IMG-20240420-WA0012.jpg Rescues With the help of kingfisherdaisy's father, we built these wooden sheds to provide shelter from the sun and rain for the strays in the shelter. We probably built about 10 of these, and another 4-5 sheds. We've been getting good feedback so far. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6958e0cf1a0b902d3e5050af/4029feaf-567a-4df4-a22b-d7590d0e5081/JB+Dad.jpeg Rescues This scene depicts kingfisherdaisy's father building a shed from scratch. He is a carpenter by trade, and apart from building infrastructure, he also supports by doing reparative work on things that are breaking down in the shelter, such as locks and other stuff. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6958e0cf1a0b902d3e5050af/2a4fe0b4-62c7-4478-bb35-15ee7e59f41e/IMG-20240614-WA0006.jpg Rescues We used to use BWM funds for the sterilisation of the strays in the shelter. Now, the shelter has set up its own fund for sterilisation, so we are directing our funds to other items such as medical care and rehabilitation instead. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6958e0cf1a0b902d3e5050af/d4067327-91a8-4704-aa69-156ec26e5587/20250529_164815.jpg Rescues In the background, Cloud sits on his way to the vet for his first check up. In the foreground is Elsa, who came to the shelter with a litter of puppies who got adopted out before she did. She now lives in a big beautiful home in Singapore. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6958e0cf1a0b902d3e5050af/52f7222f-0fea-4e0f-b056-bd4a95c5e2ab/20250529_173837.jpg Rescues Kylie is a Chow Chow mix that was surrendered to the shelter. She didn't get adopted out for the longest time, and thanks to a private rescuer, she is now looking for her forever home in Singapore. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6958e0cf1a0b902d3e5050af/bfdcefad-208d-484e-8437-809f4b7ea959/20240614_091652.jpg Rescues As one who has been to Johor Bahru might know, there are plenty of unsterilised strays roaming the streets. It's an unpredictable life given that many of them get caught by authorities and culled. Whenever we come across one, we try to show them a little bit of love. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6958e0cf1a0b902d3e5050af/1768745720015-A7HLLWWK93GZWMC2HB1C/WhatsApp%2BImage%2B2026-01-18%2Bat%2B22.14.21.jpg Rescues Recently, we started helping a stray feeder in a rural area in Shah Alam by providing her with kibble to feed the strays there. The dogs only get fed when she's got enough money to buy kibble (which explains why they are so skinny). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6958e0cf1a0b902d3e5050af/1768746471952-8TJHJHJ5NTL3C2P1ATLH/Zeus.jpg Rescues P is currently being boarded at a home where he is receiving supportive therapy after being diagnosed with cancer that metastasized to his muscles and thoracic area. We are focused on managing his pain so that he lives out his final days as comfortably as possible. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6958e0cf1a0b902d3e5050af/942b4588-58dc-4994-93bd-ab4450b55a50/Francy.jpeg Rescues In Johor Bahru, it costs 150RM to sterilise a dog under 15kg. The cost increases with weight. We helped a private rescuer in Malaysia sterilise 10 dogs she rescued off the streets. These are two of them. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6958e0cf1a0b902d3e5050af/7518e492-1d1c-4d76-b96a-fa2459dfefd5/WhatsApp+Image+2026-01-18+at+22.53.11.jpeg Rescues This is Sam's shelter in Kulai, which houses 70 sterilised female dogs. Sam also does TNR on his own. He doesn't have any fundraising programmes ongoing at the moment, so we have committed to purchasing 200kg of kibble for his dogs every month. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6958e0cf1a0b902d3e5050af/8073a58a-3c1e-4a3f-a660-22e15bb51a86/WhatsApp+Image+2026-01-18+at+22.56.21.jpeg Rescues This pup was part of Sam's TNR that we paid forward to the clinic. She was released back to the streets thereafter. https://www.buildwithmesg.org/buy-us-a-kofi daily 0.75 2026-01-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6958e0cf1a0b902d3e5050af/36040f33-c1a6-4cb2-b3f9-cef5045eba21/R0002680.JPG https://www.buildwithmesg.org/volunteer-1 daily 0.75 2026-01-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6958e0cf1a0b902d3e5050af/8e35b15b-3bcb-4479-b41f-f17b0f2ca548/IMG-20250112-WA0057.jpg https://www.buildwithmesg.org/new-page daily 0.75 2026-01-20 https://www.buildwithmesg.org/shop daily 0.75 2026-01-20 https://www.buildwithmesg.org/shop/workshop monthly 0.5 2026-01-18 https://www.buildwithmesg.org/shop/p/build-with-me-sg-membership monthly 0.5 2026-01-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6958e0cf1a0b902d3e5050af/24878d81-715d-47a4-b34e-6b48e6c3dda0/DSCF3651.JPG Workshops - Build With Me SG Membership - DSCF3651.JPG https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6958e0cf1a0b902d3e5050af/7ca904b5-53de-4daf-a9b2-2c1a2826f880/R0002184.JPG Workshops - Build With Me SG Membership - R0002184.JPG https://www.buildwithmesg.org/shop/p/ceramic-painting-experience monthly 0.5 2026-01-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6958e0cf1a0b902d3e5050af/acd34f40-2491-44d3-acb2-4418321965cc/R0002685.JPG Workshops - Ceramic Painting Experience - R0002685.JPG https://www.buildwithmesg.org/shop/p/private-studio-party-6-pax-and-above monthly 0.5 2026-01-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6958e0cf1a0b902d3e5050af/81a149f5-e896-4229-86e6-0a7c0bf59c0f/R0001586.JPG Workshops - Private Studio Party (6 pax and above) - R0001586.JPG https://www.buildwithmesg.org/shop/p/open-studio-handbuilding monthly 0.5 2026-01-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6958e0cf1a0b902d3e5050af/53291400-0a5e-48fb-a74a-cbee35054eed/DSCF4526+%281%29.JPG Workshops - Open Studio Handbuilding - 21 February, 2-4pm - DSCF4526 (1).JPG https://www.buildwithmesg.org/shop/p/open-studio-handbuilding-h8688 monthly 0.5 2026-01-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6958e0cf1a0b902d3e5050af/d845c2d8-fec1-4109-9611-f8f3148d20ec/DSCF1969.JPG Workshops - Open Studio Handbuilding - 21 March, 2-4pm - DSCF1969.JPG https://www.buildwithmesg.org/shop/p/open-studio-handbuilding-h8688-c3xr3 monthly 0.5 2026-01-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6958e0cf1a0b902d3e5050af/8eb524f3-220b-4427-98f9-d2196154f888/DSCF2021.JPG Workshops - Open Studio Handbuilding - 18 April, 2-4pm - DSCF2021.JPG https://www.buildwithmesg.org/shop/p/open-studio-handbuilding-h8688-c3xr3-n6k9e monthly 0.5 2026-01-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6958e0cf1a0b902d3e5050af/d9340484-1dad-4d4e-9f3b-312aaf835587/DSCF2522.JPG Workshops - Open Studio Handbuilding - 23 May, 2-4pm - DSCF2522.JPG https://www.buildwithmesg.org/shop/p/open-studio-handbuilding-6337w monthly 0.5 2026-01-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6958e0cf1a0b902d3e5050af/c8f360aa-ed9a-40a1-8411-9eaefd536e2f/R0001398.JPG Workshops - Watercolour of Your Sweet Pear - 22 February, 12-2pm - R0001398.JPG https://www.buildwithmesg.org/shop/p/open-studio-handbuilding-6337w-g3l64 monthly 0.5 2026-01-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6958e0cf1a0b902d3e5050af/fc659b36-30dd-4339-804f-ed09f8837f25/R0001254.JPG Workshops - Watercolour of Your Sweet Pear - 15 March, 12-2pm - R0001254.JPG https://www.buildwithmesg.org/shop/p/open-studio-handbuilding-6337w-g3l64-6ttta monthly 0.5 2026-01-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6958e0cf1a0b902d3e5050af/20e6d692-0b3e-4fb7-a7dc-a0479e052ecd/R0001262.JPG Workshops - Watercolour of Your Sweet Pear - 19 April, 12-2pm - R0001262.JPG
