Expat Living City Guide – June 2018

Daily Exercise for Dogs
Many of us aren’t lucky enough to have a house with a big back
garden, so you’ll be glad to know that there are more dog-friendly
outdoor spaces in Singapore than you might have realised. Dog
parks, runs and other green spaces are scattered all across the
island, and we’ve got a huge list of them on our website. Just visit
expatliving.sg/dog-parks-in-singapore-awesome-walks-and-
runs-for-your-pup, then head out and explore with your hound!


A dozen adoption spots
Here’s a list of reputable adoption agencies and
non-profit rescue teams who will help you
search for your new furry friend – good luck!

#3 Screen Time
If you’re adopting, prepare yourself
mentally for quite a bit of a screening,
including interviews, house visits and
bonding sessions – this isn’t a walk-in,
walk-out job, and it can take weeks to
organise after you’ve found the perfect
pet. With this being a second shot for
these animals, the organisations want to
make sure they finally go to the loving
homes they deserve.


#4 Still Not Sure?
Having second thoughts about committing
to adoption? If you still have time and love
to spare, you could definitely consider
volunteering at a rescue society or fostering
an animal – just get in touch with the
individual organisation for details.
