Adoption Spotlight: Donut, Melody and Raisin.
These gorgeous 2 month old babies look exactly like each other, and they hang out together in our shelter. It sure can be challenging to tell them apart! They're really shy at the moment, but give them some time and they'll soon be bouncing off the walls with their kitten energy! These little babies are growing fast and won't stay small forever. Donut, the only boy of the lot, will grow up dashing; Melody and Raisin, the girls, are going to be ele...

Organized by Temasek Polytechnic, the Skills Certificate in Pet Care & Management (Companion Animals) course targets pet retail shop personnel and those working in the industry, with the aim of imparting skills and knowledge important for responsible animal care and welfare.
This was a good opportunity for us to get the pet retail industry on our side. We wanted to help pet shop owners and staff understand that they play a vital role in educating potential pet owners who come to their stores. ...

While our typical canine family members bring us immeasurable happiness through play and companionship, some dogs provide invaluable service to humans by performing very demanding jobs for most of their lives. They work hard just like the rest of us. Guide dogs, one of the most well-known types of working dogs, are trained to know the difference between work and play, and help the visually impaired get around in the world. There is no room for typical dog fun while they are working because games...

In the lead up to the international World Animal Day, SMU PAW (the group who helped us organize our WAD2013's stage shows and competitions) is holding a cake auction!
Instead of the usual sponge cake, cream and fancy food coloring (all of which should not be part of a canine's natural diet), this cake is actually a delicious meatloaf, made with premium meats and vegetables and topped with mashed potato.
Stand a chance to walk away with this 3-tier cake sponsored by their wonderful partner,...

Adoption Spotlight: Princess Jodi (left) and Princess Toni (right).
Princess Jodi, Princess Toni and Comet are siblings who came to our shelter together when they were only about 3 months old. Comet was lucky and got adopted soon after. Unfortunately for Princess Jodi and Princess Toni, they didn't have the same luck. Now 5 months old, these babies are growing up fast in our shelter, and we'd love for them to find their own homes. These lovely brindle puppies are super curious and can't wait ...

We received a call earlier this year in January, asking us to pick up a pet dog for euthanasia. When our Animal Rescue Officer arrived on the scene, he found that the dog had a huge maggot wound on its face. The dog was rushed back to our shelter for treatment and our inspector was alerted. We removed as many of the maggots as we could, and our consultant vet found that the surrounding tissue and bone structures were very badly damaged. Unfortunately, the damage was too severe and we could not s...

Quinn came to us with a horrible skin condition. Found wandering around East Coast Park, Quinn had lost most of her hair and her sensitive raw skin was left exposed. We advertised in the Straits Times and kept a look out for her owner, but they never came.
Wanting a better environment for Quinn to recover in, we turned to our trusty fosterers. Sure enough, one of our fosterers quickly volunteered and took Quinn home with her. With medication that our consultant vet had prescribed for her skin...

Adoption Spotlight: Peanut (left) and Butter (right).
Peanut is a 2-year-old boy who came to our shelter with his friend, Butter, a 2-year-old girl. Both British Shorthairs, Peanut and Butter hang out in our shelter; they're sure getting lots of attention from our volunteers. Butter is the shy girl who takes a while to warm up to people but give her a little time and she'll shower you with purrs. She'll probably be the one who stays out of trouble while Peanut explores to his heart's content....

Here's a sneak peek at our first children's book! Inspired by the true story of a dog named Valli (adopted by a loving family earlier this year), the book offers a glimpse into a dog’s life at our animal shelter – from the time it is taken in to the time it eventually finds a forever home.
We'll be launching the book, 'Toby Wants A Home', at our World Animal Day event this weekend, and Valli and his family will also make an appearance on 14 September 2013 (Saturday), 4pm, for a meet-and-gre...

This 3-month-old baby is growing up fast! Baxter came to us small, round, and extremely cute, and is beginning to grow up into a handsome young boy.

He wants a family who will promise him forever, a family who will still love him when he grows out of his puppy phase. Are you ready to t...
