Mei Mei
Female
Born in 2015 (Estimate)
Sterilized
HDB Approved
Temperament: Food motivated, nervous and lively
Mei Mei was a stray in the forested areas of Changi where she lived with her siblings, who all mysteriously died.
When she was rescued she had a huge maggot wound on her back, which she still bears the scars of today. She arrived about six years ago as a very terrified young dog who would hide in her room and avoid spending time with humans.
Over time her love for food won out and she decided that people were actually ok. She is still very fearful and building confidence to walk outside on leash, but is slowly feeling more safe.
Mei Mei is a lively little girl and with the right approach and handling we hope her confidence will blossom further outdoors. She is terrified of thunderstorms and will hide in her crate.

Temperament: Reactive, confident and playful
Xiao Bai is a good-looking dog who gets lots of attention from members of the public. Sadly, behind his eyes there is a tragic tale.
Caged since he was a puppy, Xiao Bai was not properly socialised or treated with love and care. As a result, he bit a family member. We took him in and he has lived in our shelter since.
Xiao Bai is looked after by volunteers who know how to manage his triggers. He is not available to visit or to adopt, but sponsorship will help us keep him healthy and cared for.

Bobby has lived in a home ever since she was rescued as a 3-month-old puppy. She was found in a factory with a broken leg and a maggot-bitten ear. Sadly, her family can’t look after her anymore.
As she is still living with her old injury, Bobby has a limp. But it doesn’t stop her from walking. We do recommend she takes anti-inflammatories and supplements to help keep her leg comfortable.

Temperament: Shy, wary and building confidence
Egglette was trying to survive as a stray by searching for food and shelter in the canteen and factories around Shipyard Road.
Sadly she was not welcomed in these areas, and was chased away by stick-wielding workers. Naturally they frightened her, so she spent time hiding under trucks and trees to get away from them so this understandably has made her wary of people.
She arrived at the shelter in August 2023 with some skin issues and we have been able to get these skin problems treated and now she looks much better and has made a full recovery.

Luby is a shy girl, who used to be the only dog living at a factory. Although well behaved and friendly, they decided to get rid of her.

Luby is still nervous and wary of people, but is slowly gaining confidence. She will take treats from you gently and allow you to pet her, but she’s still getting comfortable with human affection.
Luby will need a home that respects her space so she has the time she needs to come out of her shell, to gain trust and confidence.

He is an active and affectionate dog, with a smile that will melt your heart. He has the energy of a puppy and he loves to play, so don’t let his age fool you - this guy is energetic.
This sweet and friendly guy can be a little shy and reserved when he first meets new people. But once he knows you, he greets you with big jumps and ecstatic tail wags - he is a joy to be around.

While he is beginning to trust people, Skipper is still very wary and has escaped from our shelter before, but moved into a nursery nearby with other dogs.
When the nursery wanted the dogs out, he came back to us. Skipper is a sweet boy at heart, he just needs time to learn to trust humans, fortunately treats can win him over!
Skipper took longer to walk on leash and just started in April 2024, he needs an adopter who will take the time to develop a bond.

Temperament: Active, intelligent and confident
Kino is a really energetic, friendly boy who loves nothing more than to go for a walk. He was tragically abandoned by his owner for no reason, so now we’re looking for his forever family.
Kino is a really handsome dog, who is treat motivated and very smart. He is easy to train and has lots of energy, so we recommend that an active owner adopts him who can help him channel his energy into positive behaviours (e.g. agility).
Kino is a dog who is really eager to please. He can be shy with new people, but loves affection from people that he knows and trusts. So it’s important to bond with him before you take him home.
Kino cannot go to a home with children. He is a bit too energetic and boisterous for young ones.

When he was on the street, Merritt was bullied by an existing pack of dogs that also lived there. Despite being a smart and friendly dog, he had to protect himself from being bullied constantly. So this means Merritt is reactive toward other dogs.
Merritt is food motivated, knows how to sit and will take treats nicely from people who interact in the right way with him. He is walking on leash well but still wary of dogs, so would need help to know how to interact with other dogs.

Nara is still getting comfortable with the idea of human touch, as well as the world beyond the shelter. She is learning to walk on leash, and we’ve seen her become lively when there aren’t any humans around - that’s when she loves to interact with other dogs.
When we’re not around, Nara will exit her kennel and go and visit all of the dogs that she likes in the hallway. So she is a sweet little thing, who we think will come out of her shell soon. Nara will probably enjoy going to a home that has another dog.

It is suspected she was hit by a vehicle and spent some time at the vet with a swollen knee before it was resolved, and then she came to the shelter in March 2024. She does suffer from arthritis especially in her right hip and her left knee so she walks with a limp in her hind legs.

Olive has a huge brain - she loves puzzles, toys and having a job to do. She would like an active home that will engage with her and encourage her to step outside and experience the world.

Zech has had surgery for his issues and has recovered, but is still on the mend. He is a very confident and trusting dog, who was very quick to learn to walk on a leash when he first arrived at the shelter in February 2022.
As an older boy, Zech is dealing with osteoarthritis and is on pentosan injections to manage this. We would love to see him in a home who can give him the care and comfort he needs in his golden years. A home without another dog would be best.

Temperament: Cautious, shy and opening up
Hei Hei was living around a factory area in Jalan Buroh her whole life until she was trapped and sterilised, then placed in the shelter.
She is a very sweet and timid girl, who is slowly coming out of her shell. She enjoys the company of other dogs, particularly her friend Robbie, who she engages in play with whenever she gets a chance. We’re hoping with lots of encouragement she continues to shine.
Hei Hei is warming up to human touch, she allows you to pet her but she’s not entirely comfortable. She will take treats nicely from people she trusts, which is a nice way to bond with her. She isn’t walking on leash outside yet, but we’re working on it!

Temperament: Wary, Anxious and fragile
Leon came to us in a very bad state of health and after spending over a month at the vet was diagnosed with a severe condition.
He was diagnosed with severe ulcerative fibrinosuppurative colitis with multiple strictures. He is therefore on a very strict diet of Z/D kibble to help manage this condition.
It was advised by the vets that it is very possible that Leon’s intestine has been so severely damaged that normal function may never completely return.
We want to give this young boy the best care to make him more comfortable and help build his strength. We also hope to be able to build his trust and confidence to allow him to feel less stressed.

Temperament: Reactive, energetic and playful
When he was just a pup, Jay Jay should have been loved - but instead, he was confined and physically abused by his owner.
Luckily he was rescued from that horrible situation, and came to live with us in 2022. He is slowly regaining trust in humans thanks to one dedicated volunteer who has been working with him weekly.
Jay Jay responds well to familiar faces, jumping up and happily taking treats. But he is reactive and a risk amongst unfamiliar ones - so he desperately needs professional training to reassure him.
Jay Jay is learning to walk confidently on leash and to be handled by others. But we need sponsors to help fully rehabilitate him, and find him a loving home where he can have the life he deserves.

Xiao Hei may be blind, but he has adapted well to this and is such a happy soul. He loves people and is an affectionate fellow.
He shares a kennel with his lifetime pal Bobo, who he lived with previously in a home. Sadly due to sorry circumstances, both dogs were no longer able to stay with their parent and they came to us.
Xiao Hei and BoBo arrived at the shelter around 2019. They are both toilet trained, very affectionate, low maintenance and rely on one another for comfort - and for Xiao Hei, Bobo is his guide dog.
They enjoy their walks together and look forward to getting back for treats. Finding a home together would be ideal and we know would fill it with their bubbly joyfulness!

Temperament: Enthusiastic and confident
Ashee had a home however the main carer passed away and the rest of the family didn’t want him.
He was left at a Buddhist Temple. They didn’t want him either, so he arrived at the shelter in February 2024. When this enthusiastic very fluffy boy arrived his fur was covered with a lot of matts.
He is sensitive to being touched but this may be as he doesn’t know us well yet. But he will require constant grooming to keep his fur matt-free. We don’t recommend a home with young children.
He is walking on leash easily and loves to get outside. For now he is walked in a slip leash due to his sensitivity to be touched. We normally walk our dogs in harnesses for their comfort and safety, we hope to transition Ashee in time.

Caramel loves people and seeks affection. She is a friendly, happy and an enthusiastic girl. She is always excited to get out for a walk but she does still get nervous by things. We are not sure how exposed she was to walking outdoors in her previous home.
Caramel will gain more outdoor confidence in a reassuring home who can help her enjoy her walks more!

Now able to walk outdoors and more lively with the other dogs, Pia is a completely different dog. She would love a forever home where she had another dog, to give her comfort and guidance. Can you offer Pia sponsorship, or better yet, a home?

Skye came to the shelter via the TNRM programme in August 2022, along with Panda and Skipper who share a kennel together.
Skye is the braver one and can be walked on leash, which she does at a very slow pace and a very short distance due to arthritis in her elbow.
Losing some weight will help this, aided with more soothing exercise like hydrotherapy. She can still be frightened when out on walks, so she needs a patient and experienced handler.
She has a gentle character, perks up when she sees treats and enjoys spending time by herself on her comfy bed.

We are still getting to know him well, but he is easy to leash and take out for a walk. He loves to run free in the grass run and roll over for belly rubs. He is selective with dogs as wasn’t socialised as a young dog, so may be best in a home without dogs.
He arrived with a clean bill of health and the main care he will need to get used to is being groomed. Before he came to the shelter he was taken to the vet and sedated so matts could be removed
