LOVE IS PATIENT. LOVE IS KIND.
When children are encouraged to love, what lessons should we teach them?
How wonderful it would be if they learn that love is: care, understanding, support, giving, respect, greatness, compromise and appreciation. Love is not: selfishness, possession, abuse, hurt, discrimination, or intolerance.
We recently visited the children at Pat’s Schoolhouse Claymore to share with them some ideas for being kind to animals. They now know that it is kinder to adopt an ...

WANT TO SAVE DOLPHINS?

If you can spare any of the following item/s, please contact Naomi@acres.org.sg, or call us at +65 6892 9821. As we have limited manpower, it would be great if you could drop off the i...

MEET LEO, A LEOPARD GECKO!
Leo, an albino leopard gecko, was most probably abandoned by his owner after being illegally kept as a pet in Singapore, or he could have escaped.
Leopard geckos are found in the dry and desert regions of South-Asia. This includes places such as Iran, down to parts of North-West India. The black spots on their body and their habit of stalking prey have given them their name: leopard gecko. Leo, however, lacks these spots as he is an albino morph. This means that he ...

KEEP THEM WILD AND FREE: HELP US WIPE OUT WILDLIFE CRIME
A wakeup call to all want-to-be exotic pet owners in Singapore!
