Adoption fee applies. 

🐶  Adopter Criteria 🐶 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. 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. Be financially prepared for pet ownership. Vet bills are increasingly expensive, please be prepared to provide medical care during the pet's lifespan. Take preventive measures to reduce potential risks at home for the dog, and making your home safe. 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. Our adoption fee is $350 for dogs age 4 and above. For younger dogs, it will be $500. 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.

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.
