Possible New Animal Adoption Centre Revealed At ACRES Charity Carwash

MORE GOOD NEWS FOR THE ANIMALS IN SINGAPORE!

ACRES executive director Louis Ng added: “There are a lot of groups out there that always have adoption drives or urge people to go to the shelters, which often are not in very popular areas, so they’re more or less isolated. We wanted to bring this into an area where a lot of people frequent, somewhere like East Coast Park, so that we can make the adoption of animals a mainstream thing and provide a venue where there’s a dog run, there is a dog adoption centre, a cat adoption centre, a rabbit adoption centre.

�There’s an area where animal welfare groups can gather and give talks to the public. It’s not really just about adoption. Say someone who is afraid of cats, we’re going to build a nice area where they can go in, the volunteers will be there and maybe they can socialise with the cat to increase tolerance of these animals, which I think is the key word in today’s context.”
