20th Oct 2020, by SPCA Singapore
HAPPY TALES: WELLS
Annie: “I was volunteering as a dog walker with SPCA once a week. Wells was chosen by the trainer for a dog walking demo session. He's nice looking, independent, and smart.
We adopted him, and everyone loves him! When it's time for medication and supplements, he will consume them with a wagging tail. As an adventurous boy, he loves visiting new places and meeting other dogs. However, he dislikes fruits and vegetables, thunderstorms, and us talking about his naughty deeds!...

2nd Oct 2020, by SPCA Singapore
CHOKING, HANGING AND STRANGLING OF ANIMALS: THIS NEEDS TO END
For several decades, SPCA has seen cases reporting the use of forceful and punishment-based animal training methods in Singapore, predominantly in dog training.
