Second chances aren’t just for people, but for unwanted pets as well. Despite the best efforts of numerous shelters in rescuing stray animals and holding adoption drives, there are still far too many animals in need of forever housing.
Make a difference to a loyal, lifelong companion in one of these established pet shelters.
Animal Lovers League:
Animal Lovers League (ALL) is one of Singapore's largest shelters, both in terms of size and ambition, with over 500 cats and dogs. ALL is a no-kill shelter that strives to rehome and shelter all animals in its care. Their dedication is evident in their thorough adoption process, which begins with an interview and a home visit to see if your home is acceptable. Following that, a two-week homestay is used to see if everyone is in good spirits before trusting you with the adoption.
Adoption fee: Free
Causes for Animals Singapore:
Causes for Animals (CAS) Singapore aspires for a country free of stray animals, having over three decades of experience in animal welfare work.
CAS demands that all family members who will live with the pet be met in order to find good matches for these pets. The adoption can then be finalised after a week of home stay under their supervision. The team strongly encourages first-time dog owners to enroll in training programmes, as it will help you and your new companion communicate more effectively.
