Donate to our Save-a-Dog Medical Fund (Target Reached!)

Update: We have reached our target amount! Thank you everyone for your kind contribution.

Help us raise much-needed medical funds for the neglected and forgotten street dogs of Singapore.

According to estimates, there are 6,000 stray dogs currently wandering the streets and jungles of Singapore today.

Prior to starting OSCAS in 2006, our co-founders had cared for hundreds of dogs as stray feeders. We then trapped more than a hundred of them ourselves in Changi and surrounding areas, to save them from being caught and culled by the authorities who wanted to reclaim the land they were living on.

Now, 15 years later, we continue to give a voice to the voiceless. We house up to a hundred dogs at our kennel in Sungei Tengah at any given time. These dogs include our original strays, new strays who have been trapped and saved along the way, and abandoned and abused dogs, surrendered to or rescued by us.

Many of these dogs are difficult to rehome, for a variety of reasons. Some are aggressive and still undergo training, others are terrified. Some are too old, others have medical issues that prevent adopters from taking them home due to the hefty costs of healthcare.

So, OSCAS has become a sanctuary for them. A safe space where they can be loved and cared for, and, hopefully, rehabilitated.

But all of this comes at a great financial cost. As our dogs age and we continue to rescue abandoned and abused dogs, we have seen a sharp increase in our medical bills.

In 2019, our total medical costs were almost $80,000. In 2020, they were $125,000. So far this year, we have spent more than $117,000 on veterinary care – and we expect that this figure will rise to more than $210,000 by the end of 2021.

Every amount we raise for our medical bills will be matched dollar-for-dollar by Tote Board and the Government under the Enhanced Fund-Raising Programme. We have an amazing opportunity that can help us take care of our babies – and to continue to look after Singapore’s forgotten dogs in the future.

Please donate now to help us keep our dogs well.
