“There are many ways to train a dog. Traditional methods tended to be punitive in nature, making use of corrective techniques to make a dog behave. But dog training has since come a long way from these traditional methods. Choke collars, prong or pinch collars, shock collars - these traditional tools are unnecessary in effective dog training. Humane and dog-friendly training works by motivating a dog to do something you like, rather than punishing it for doing something you don't. While dogs s...

We were alerted to this case by a member of the public, who had found the rabbit abandoned near the playground at Block 68 Toa Payoh Lorong 5.

Unfortunately, the rabbit passed away shortly after it arrived at our shelter.
We are appealing for witnesses and/or information that could help us identify the person/s responsible for th...

We received an emergency call today about an animal in distress and boy was our Animal Rescue Officer surprised when he arrived on the scene!
Unable to fly, this bird was found on a void deck in Yishun by a resident. Our Rescue Officer managed to bring the injured bird back to our shelter, and the bird is now on its way in our rescue vehicle to Jurong Bird Park, where the vets have better expertise with wild birds.
If you spot an animal in distress, remember to call our 24-hour emergency ...

Ida is a female mixed breed with one of the friendliest faces you’ll ever see on a dog. She enjoys being with people and would make an excellent family pet. She is a medium size girl and likes to exercise, so she would do best in a home with a garden or access to a public dog run. She is sociable with other friendly dogs but needs to be introduced to them slowly. She is very pretty (she looks like she’s wearing mascara!) as well as intelligent, and she can sit, down and walk on leash for tre...

Zoba is a lovely dog with a vibrant personality that will eventually grow on you. She's the type of dog who would wag her tail in happiness each time she sees you and probably lick your face to show her affection towards you. This puppy just wants love at the end of the day as much as she wants to give it. If you're willing to open up your heart and home to her, don't make her wait!
