The SPCA took in 7,678 unwanted animals in 2009. This figure includes 1,126 small animals (rabbits, hamsters, guinea pigs etc.) of which 645 were rabbits. That works out to be around 21 animals each day. Dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs and hamsters form the majority of the animals we receive.
We managed to find new homes for 1,159 animals.
472 lost dogs were reunited with their owners through SPCA's lost & found service for missing pets.
Because only small breeds of dogs are permitted in HDB flats, it is difficult for us to re-home many animals. And unfortunately, most potential pet owners prefer to buy a pedigree puppy rather than consider adoption.
