Abandoned

The man pictured abandoned this dog at Bartley MRT station after we requested he come back again the next day. On Sunday, 16 Dec, he came to the SPCA wanting to surrender this 1-year-old mongrel. He had raised the dog from a puppy but cited reasons such as moving house, no one wanting to take care of it and neighbours complaining, for not wanting the dog anymore. Our staff tried their best to persuade him to find the dog a home himself instead of surrendering it to SPCA. He then requested we put the dog to sleep. Our staff told him we couldn�t do that for him. The dog was found shortly after tied to a pole outside Bartley MRT station. If you or anyone you know has information about this person or this dog, please call us on 62875355 ext 9 or write to inspector@spca.org.sg.

Animal abandonment is an offence under the Animals & Birds Act (The Animals & Birds (Amendment) Bill) and anyone found guilty of such an offence can be imprisoned for up to 12 months, fined up to $10,000, or both.

We welcome anyone interested in taking in the dog to come down and do so. The dog is quite fearful and will take a fair amount of love, patience and time to get him to trust a new owner. Only for experienced dog owners.
