Midori is a shy, gentle and observant girl who likes to take her time, understand her surroundings and then decide where she wants to be. She may not always be right in the middle of the action, but she is quietly taking everything in and simply observing what everyone else is doing. She appreciates having her own space while still wanting to be part of the household. Rather than demanding atten…
Adopt via ASDTrue to her name, Manis is an absolute sweetie. Her gentle presence and soulful eyes have a way of capturing your heart. Manis can be a little shy when meeting new people or in unfamiliar surroundings, so she needs some time to warm up. However, once she has bonded with you, she will enjoy following you around, sitting nearby, and quietly keeping you company. Manis walks well on leash but may…
Adopt via ASDCautious around strangers but adventurous at heart, gaining confidence daily.
Adopt via PurelyPainfully shy right now, but a gentle, curious soul with so much potential.
Adopt via PurelyAlthea has been through the wringer, and is slowly finding out that the world isn't as scary as she thought it was. Since recovering from heartworm and the injuries she sustained as a stray, she has discovered treats, and has learned to sit quietly for them. Be warned, she will let you know loudly if you aren't dispensing them quickly enough. She learns fast, and will follow you around if she kno…
Adopt via ASDReserved with new faces, but fiercely loyal, she'll follow you everywhere!
Adopt via PurelyShy at first, but a chill, affectionate cuddle-bug once she trusts you!
Adopt via PurelyAlpha is still very shy around people, and avoids making eye contact with humans. While she will eat treats, she will not take them from humans directly, or eat them while people are looking at her. In the kennel, she prefers to stay in her own corner, quietly watching the world from the corner of her eye. That said, she walks very nicely without pulling, independent of her kennel mate, and takes…
Adopt via ASDPirate's only similarity with her name is her one-eyed appearance. She is quiet, calm and patient, definitely not a swashbuckling troublemaker! She walks well with her kennel mate, and when unsure on walks, only requires gentle firmness to correct her and get her going again beautifully. She likes her treats, and will take them directly from familiar hands. Otherwise, she is happy to quietly ch…
Adopt via ASDPixie came back to us extremely anxious and confused. It has taken months of consistent gentle handling to calm her down. She is walking much better today, with fewer refusals and hesitation, and is easier to correct with gentle firmness. While she may express discomfort with strangers by barking, she loves her treats and will stop and sit politely to get one. She tolerates gentle handling from…
Adopt via ASDTauhuey is a shy and reserved girl who is hesitant and wary of people but when she becomes more comfortable with you, she may take a treat from your hand. She has been under rehabilitation for a while and is making good progress. Tauhuey was caught by another animal welfare group as part of their TNRM programme at New Tiew Road. Instead of releasing back, we were approached to help rehome her.
Adopt via ASDAimee is a passionate, active girl who enjoys being outside for walks / runs and some rough wrestling with her kennel mate. She knows her way into people's hearts, constantly giving you her paw to ask for affection. She also enjoys a good belly rub and will roll on her back to ask for it. Aimee can be rather strong and tends to pull on the leash. She'd do best with an experienced handler who ha…
Adopt via ASDCalbee is very shy with people and will need a lot of time and patience before she will warm up. She is very food motivated, is peepad trained, has no aggression and walks well on leash. Calbee would need to go to a home with at least another dog or it will take her a long time to settle in and feel at ease. Calbee was a stray from a factory in Tuas who was caught for TNR but because of her swee…
Adopt via ASDDollar needs a bit of time to warm up to strangers but once she does, she can be very sweet and affectionate. She is good with cats and other dogs. Dollar would be suitable for an active couple or family with older children. She is playful and loves swimming. Dollar and her 6 siblings were rescued from Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve when they were around 2 - 3 weeks old.
Adopt via ASDFlicka is a shy and gentle girl who needs time, patience, and understanding to truly blossom. When she was first fostered, Flicka was very withdrawn and even refused food, unsure of her new surroundings. With consistency, a calm environment, and the companionship of a foster puppy, she slowly began to open up and feel safe. Though initially skittish, Flicka has made steady progress and has grown…
Adopt via ASDJane is a playful dog who loves toys and gets along well with dogs she knows. Don’t let her perpetually worried face fool you, she is easy to walk on a leash and is grass-trained, making her a clean companion with very few accidents at home. Jane is generally quiet and adaptable, making her an ideal choice for families looking for a manja low-maintenance dog. Her calm nature and easy going perso…
Adopt via ASDLobelle is a very intelligent and independent girl who was leash trained within 2 weeks (which is very quick compared to most dogs!). She can be wary of unfamiliar faces and selective with people she doesn't know, and is a flight risk when spooked. Lobelle was a cemetery dog who gave birth to 4 puppies before she was caught. She became depressed after her puppies went missing a week later. She a…
Adopt via ASDSake is a very special puppy who will need a loving adopter who can understand and cope with her medical condition. Bright and full of zest, Sake commands the attention of the room wherever she goes. She trots along confidently, greeting both humans and dogs affectionately. However, Sake was born with a permanent birth defect (nerve damage around her rectum), which has led to this little one bein…
Adopt via ASDWhen Saniya came back to us at 2 years old, she was said to be dog reactive, and was terrified of people and walking on leash. Today, after consistent, kind handling, and with the support of her kennel mates, she has regained her confidence around people and other dogs. She has learned to walk quietly on leash, and approaches familiar faces for gentle pats. Where she once shied away from other d…
Adopt via ASDTao Bao is very shy with people and takes awhile to warm up but once she is familiar with you, she can be very affectionate. She really thrives in the company of other dogs thus we believe she would fare better in a home with at least another dog. Tao Bao was caught accidentally when she walked into a trap laid for her mother as part of a TNR (trap-neuter-release) programme.
Adopt via ASDTrish is initially more cautious of people, occasionally sounding off a couple barks. Once she smells you and gets used to your presence, she'll start giving you kisses and you can reciprocate by scratching her neck which she enjoys. Trish is food motivated and good with other dogs. She enjoys being outside especially if it means she gets to run. However her walking can be inconsistent and hard t…
Adopt via ASDThis page lists individual dogs available now. If you would rather pick a rescue group to support, our rescue organisations guide covers what each group focuses on and how to adopt, foster, donate or volunteer.
A few groups list their dogs only at adoption drives or on social media, so they are not in the feed above. Voices for Animals, which rehomes retired breeding dogs, announces its monthly drives on Facebook. You can read more about it, Mercylight and Exclusively Mongrels on our rescue page.
UrbanDogOwner aggregates publicly listed rescue dogs from Singapore's main rescue groups (SOSD, Action for Singapore Dogs, Causes for Animals, OSCAS, SPCA, Purely Adoptions). Photos and descriptions belong to those groups. To adopt, follow the link on a dog's card to the rescue group's own application. Listings refresh daily; a dog that has found a home drops off within a day or two.
