Dog abandoned at SPCA gate just yesterday (28 May) has been�..

�. claimed by its owner!

As it�s turned out, the dog was actually abandoned by a close member of the owner�s family, WITHOUT THE OWNER’S AWARENESS. The owner verified the identity of the family member, having viewed our surveillance footage.

Whilst the dog has been returned to its owner, that does not take away the fact that it has been abandoned. In Singapore, under the Animals and Birds Act, anyone found guilty, of abandonment of any animal, can be imprisoned for up to 12 months, fined up to S$10,000, or both.

We thank all commenters of our post yesterday (�SPCA seeks owner of dog abandoned at our gate…�) for their insights and views, and would like to give our assurance that we do NOT condone the wilful abandonment of any companion animal. We have investigated this matter and referred this to the AVA, and will work closely with the latter on this.
