dogs FOR ADOPTION

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.


Haru

Breed: Schnauzer
Age: 6 yrs old
Gender: Female
Rescue story here



Haru's story is a heartbreaking one. She is a 6-year-old female Schnauzer who was recently surrendered to our care. Though still relatively young, her body condition was so poor that even the vet was shocked, as she looked like a much older dog after being neglected. Despite everything she has endured, Haru remains gentle, cooperative, and trusting—a reminder of just how loyal dogs remain even when their families let them down.

 

Upon rescue, Haru underwent a full medical examination. We are relieved that her blood tests came back normal, but several concerns were discovered. At just 4.75kg, she is more than 1kg underweight, with ribs that can be easily felt, and is now on four small meals a day to help her gain weight safely. A chest X-ray revealed an enlargement on one side of her heart, so a heart and abdominal scan have been arranged. She also has only four teeth remaining, dry eyelids requiring medication, itchy and inflamed front paws, and an ear infection, all of which are being treated.

 

A lump was also found on her abdomen. As Haru is not yet sterilised, this is particularly concerning due to the risk of mammary tumours. On top of this, our volunteers discovered she has been living with a long-term urinary tract infection that may have gone unnoticed for some time. She has a long road of treatment ahead, but she is finally safe and in good hands.

 

Haru is now looking for a patient and loving home where she can heal, regain her strength, and finally experience the comfort and care she has always deserved. With a gentle and devoted family, she will blossom into a faithful companion.

Pixie

Gender: Female
Breed: Cavapoo
Age: 6 years old
Rescue story here


 


Pixie's story is one of quiet resilience. Before her rescue, she didn't even have a name—she was known only by a microchip number, having spent the first six years of her life as a breeding dog, valued only for the puppies she could produce. Despite everything she has endured, Pixie is a sweet and gentle girl who simply deserves the kindness, care, and love that were denied to her for so long.

 

Upon rescue, Pixie was taken straight to the vet for a full health assessment, and we are relieved that her blood tests came back clear. She is estimated to be 6 years old and weighs 7.1kg. She is slightly overweight with weak joints and hind legs that cause her to slip while walking—a common condition in breeding dogs who spend their lives confined to cages with no exercise or sunshine. With proper nutrition, gentle exercise, and time, we hope to see her grow stronger.

 

Pixie does have some medical needs that will require attention. She has an ear infection currently being treated with antibiotic ear drops, and she will need a dental cleaning with hopefully only minimal extractions. She has also been booked for abdominal and cardiac ultrasounds to ensure there are no underlying concerns.

 

Pixie is now looking for a patient and loving home where she can finally experience comfort, safety, and affection for the first time. After six years of giving everything she had, it is finally her turn to be loved. With a gentle and caring family, she will blossom into a devoted companion.

Sandy

Gender: Female 
Breed: Poodle 
Age: 3 yrs old 
Rescue Story here





 

When Sandy was surrendered to us together with Hugo, we assumed she was the older of the two. Her thinning coat, fragile skin and tired expression made her look like a senior dog. She is only three years old — a young dog whose body has simply endured far more than it should have.

Sandy’s blood work came back generally healthy, but her skin tells another story. Large areas of her body were almost completely bare when she was rescued, inflamed and uncomfortable. She had been receiving Cytopoint injections previously, though these do not appear to have controlled her condition adequately. Both eyes also have reduced tear production and she is on eye drops daily. We believe her skin condition is closely linked to neglect and anxiety, and with proper care her fur is already growing back beautifully.

Sandy is sweet and gentle, a little anxious, and looks to others for reassurance. She does best when there is a clear, confident pack leader to follow, and she still very much wants to play.

Sandy is looking for a calm and stable home that can keep to her eye drops and skin care routine, and give her the security she has been missing. With patience and consistency, she has many good years ahead of her.

Hugo

Gender: Male 
Breed: Schnoodle 
Age: 12 yrs old
Rescue Story here







 

Hugo came to us as an owner surrender, alongside his companion Sandy. He arrived underweight and unkempt, with poor muscle condition and years of neglect written across his body. At 12 years old, he is a senior who has spent most of his life giving quiet companionship and now needs someone to return it.

Hugo has extensive skin disease running from his neck down his body, with multiple sores including raw areas caused by wearing nappies around the clock. He also has a severe ear infection with a strong odour, and Grade 2 luxating patella in both hind legs. He is on medicated shampoo, regular medicated baths and antibiotics, and his fur is already growing back well. Dental treatment and sterilisation are still ahead of him before he is ready for a forever home.

Despite everything, Hugo is exactly what everyone hopes for in a rescue dog — sweet, gentle and calm. He is good with people and settles easily. His previous owner shared that he barks at other dogs, and we observed this too, though it is reactive rather than aggressive and he has since settled well with his foster.

Hugo needs a patient home that can keep up with his medicated bath routine, monitor his skin and ears, and be mindful of his knees. He would do best as the only dog, or in a quiet home with a calm, slow introduction.

If you would like to adopt Hugo, please contact hopedogrescue@singnet.com.sg.
