Project ADORE – Project on ADOption and REhoming of dogs was launched in April 2012 with the aim of rehoming mid-sized mixed-breed dogs in HDB flats (up to 15kg in weight and 50cm in height). Members of the public who are keen to volunteer for this programme can sign up here.
They help to identify dogs for capture, bring these dogs to the participating AWGs who will subsequently manage sterilised dogs that are released back into the environment. Feeders play an important role in the TNRM process. This handbook hopes to promote awareness on responsible feeding of stray dogs, and address public health concerns in order to bring about peaceful co-existence between humans and animals. We have published the Handbook on Feeding Stray Dogs Responsibly. Pet owners can do their part by microchipping and licensing their pet dogs to ensure traceability. Members of the public can also play a part by sharing our TNRM programme with those close to them. We have been partnering stakeholders, as well as interested individuals and organisations, to educate the public on managing stray dog encounters.
We will support AWGs’ costs for pre and post-surgical boarding, vaccination, and sterilisation of TNRM programme dogs. The target for this programme is to sterilise more than 70% of the stray dog population in Singapore within five years. Those that cannot be rehomed will be released at suitable locations to live out their lives naturally. Under this programme, stray dogs will be sterilised after capture, and subsequently rehomed. The TNRM programme is a humane, science-based approach to managing the stray dog population where the top priority is to rehome stray dogs. The TNRM programme is a collaboration between Animal Veterinary Service (AVS) (formerly known as the Agri-Food and Veterinary Authority of Singapore), Animal Welfare Groups (AWGs), veterinarians and other relevant stakeholders. Mr Desmond Lee, Minister for Social and Family Development and Second Minister for National Development, launched the five-year Trap-Neuter-Rehome/Release-Manage (TNRM) programme on 10 November 2018.
