Adoption Spotlight: Thor.
Thor, our lovely three-year-old cross breed, is definitely more awesome than the superhero with the same name. His tall and lanky stature intimidates people, but Thor is really a sweetheart by nature. This gentle giant loves playing with his toys and can spend forever sniffing every single thing he can get his nose on. Gentle Thor has been with us for a really long time and has grown up in our shelter. He would love a home to call his own and is looking for a family ...

Adoption Spotlight: Dewy.
This 6-year-old boy is a sweetheart who is ready for his second chance at life. This gentle darling will make a great companion for a family who enjoys walks with him. He will love you with all his heart. Dewy has slight separation anxiety and would need some training to work off his barking for attention. Are you ready to promise him forever?
*HDB-approved.
Also, show some love to the other equally adorable and lovable animals waiting in our shelter for their fo...

Sisi and Coco are lovely two-month-old kittens whom we found on St John Island during our trap, sterilisation and release operation conducted last weekend. These two babies were in a corner on the island, looking a little malnourished. If given some tender loving care and attention, these two would be a hit with visitors to our shelter. Confident of finding them good homes, we brought them back with us to Singapore.
Our lovely foster-parent stepped forward and offered her home as temporary sh...

Adoption Spotlight: Charlie and Angel.
Both one-year-olds, Charlie and Angel hang out together in our shelter and are good friends. They didn't have such a great start to life and were given up together. Charlie is a silky and svelte Siamese who sure knows how to enjoy life. He enjoys relaxing in his favourite spot in our shelter, and is eager to meet and greet our visitors. Angel is the shy girl who keeps to herself. She greets our visitors all the same, but isn't as outgoing as her good fri...

24th Oct 2013, by SPCA Singapore
Have you ever considered adopting a pet from a shelter, but were afraid that it might have "something wrong with it"?
Why else would the pet be given up by its previous owner? There must be something wrong with it. Or is there? Watch this video and decide for yourself.

We headed to St John Island last weekend, to carry out our trap, sterilise and release operation on the island. We conducted a survey on the island just two months ago and found a large number of unsterilised cats. Residents on the island shared with us that the increasing numbers were slightly worrying. While we adore cats, it is important to ensure that the number of unwanted animals does not spiral out of control. Sterilisation will help to stabilise the number of cats in the area, and ensure...

We have the best fosters ever! Remember the ten puppies who were orphaned after their mother got hit by a truck? Not only were we blessed with great fosters who opened their homes and hearts readily to the babies, we were also blessed with amazing fosters who worked actively to find homes for the puppies.

Teaching "Stay"
21st Oct 2013, by SPCA Singapore
Having trouble getting your dog to stay and not move until you tell him to? A good "Stay" is actually a two-part skill - "Stay" tells the dog not to move until you give it permission to do so, and a release word, e.g. "Free", signals that the dog has the permission to move. To build a good reliable stay, you need to work on the 3 variables that can make or break a stay - duration, distance and distractions.
Kang Nee, a certified professional dog trainer with a PhD in Zoology, works with us and...

These three ginger kittens (two pictured here) were brought into our shelter, after they were found by a concerned member of the public. Only one month old, these babies needed round-the-clock care. We turned to our trusty fosters and found a family who were willing to welcome all three babies into their home (and hearts).
These two boys and one girl are now home with our loving fosters! They're too young and not ready for adoption yet, but keep a look out for them in about two months on our...
