Why adopt from HOPE?

dogs FOR ADOPTION 

Whoever said money can't buy happiness has never paid an adoption fee!

Adoption fee applies. 



🐶  Adopter Criteria 🐶
  1. Our dogs are on home cooked food twice daily because it is healthier (unless medically the dog requires prescription food). It can be a simple fare consisting of boiled meat and vegetables.
  2. The dog is to be given at least 2 walks each day, about 20-30mins slow walk for exercise and mental stimulation. Never off leash outside.
  3. Be financially prepared for pet ownership. Vet bills are increasingly expensive, please be prepared to provide medical care during the pet's lifespan.
  4. Take preventive measures to reduce potential risks at home for the dog, and making your home safe.
  5. If you have an existing dog, please be ready to separate them in the beginning, then slowly introduce for a successful integration. We do not expect the dogs to get along right away so patience is needed. Meeting outside on neutral grounds is quite different from a place where your dog considers it her/his personal territory.
  6. Our adoption fee is $350 for dogs age 4 and above. For younger dogs, it will be $500.
  7. Upon adoption, we require the adopter to register the dog with AVS for a dog licence (this is a requirement under AVS rules). 
To adopt, please fill out this form.  Shortlisted candidates will be notified.

Holly HDB-Approved (Under Project Adore)
  • 11 years old, female local crossbreed
  • Approximately 20kg, sterilized
  • Grass and pee pad trained
  • Skittish and wary
Holly lived in the forest before she was rescued from a camp site, where she was seen looking for food. She was a bag of bones and had painful wounds all over her body. This is her story

She was diagnosed with heartworm in 2023, but has since recovered. Unfortunately, she has clinical signs of mammary tumour and requires medical checks every 4-6 months. Having said that, her daily routine now is as normal as can be.

Holly has adapted to apartment living and can co-exist with another dog within a household. While she is still a little afraid of humans, she is not aggressive. If she is scared, she would retreat to her private space and avoid eye contact. Holly is a very sweet dog if you give her time to adjust to our way of life. 

Adoption criteria: Holly requires home-cooked food twice daily. As Holly is  very wary of new surroundings, her new home should have a spare room for her to decompress, and house proof for high-flight risk dogs. 

Her new family must have experience with Singapore Specials, be able to help her overcome her fear however long it takes. The potential adopter must pay meticulous attention to her and make trips to the vet when necessary.

Pickles HDB-Approved 
  • 6 years old
  • Female Pug
  • Weigh 7.4 KG
  • Sweet, affectionate and full of personality, fun
  • Pee pad training in progress

Pickles is a charming little lady with the most lovable zoomies and a heart full of love. She enjoys attention, often asking for it with her soulful eyes. Whether she’s running in circles at mealtime or wriggling her way out of a towel after a shower, Pickles brings joy to every moment.

Do note that Pickles has several ongoing health concerns that her adopter should be aware of. She has dry eye (right) which requires long-term eye drops to manage. Additionally, she is currently undergoing treatment for a yeast infection in both ears. Pickles is also suspected to have grade 3 dental disease, which may require dental care and monitoring. She has a low-grade heart murmur, and an echocardiogram is recommended to assess her heart health further. Pickles is also positive for Ehrlichia (tick fever), which caused mild anemia, though the condition is currently inactive. 

Adoption Criteria:
Pickles requires home-cooked food twice daily. Her adopter must be committed to her medical care, which includes regular vet visits and consistent ear cleaning. She should not be left alone at home for more than 4 to 5 hours.

Despite his health condition, Mr White is a friendly and curious dog who loves walks and sniffing.

Harper HDB-Approved (Under Project Adore)
*Special Needs Dog
  • 11 years old, female local crossbreed (born with a broken spine)
  • Moves about with her wheelchair, incontinent
  • Good with children and dogs 
Born with a severe handicap in her lower spine that cripples her from the waist down, six-week-old Harper was crawling on her chest and dragging her hind legs painfully over rough gravel when she was first spotted at a construction site on Jurong Island. It was so hard for her to search for food, that she had to swallow gravel and metal pins to alleviate the gnawing hunger in her stomach sometimes. Such was the hard life that baby Harper had.

Her fate changed for the better when Mr. Aziz, a kind Muslim man who worked in that area, brought her to HOPE’s attention. With the fosterers and volunteers’ love and patience, Harper is now a changed dog. She is much happier and clearly enjoys the new lease of life given to her. After the rescue, Harper went through two more unfortunate episodes that threatened to take her away from us – a chest infection due to the haze, and a blockage in her stomach, but she braved them all, valiantly and admirably, just like a warrior. 
Harper is 11 years old and a bundle of joy to all those who have had the good fortune to meet her.  Read about our little ray of hope here and here.
