Voices For Animals founder Derrick Tan wants people to give senior dogs a chance

Mr Derrick Tan is president of Voices For Animals, a volunteer-based organisation that rescues, rehabilitates and rehomes retired breeding dogs. He is seen at the shelter in Sungei Tengah on Sept 16.

The Singaporean, who founded dog shelter Voices For Animals (VFA) in 2013, has noticed a recent increase in messages on the social media platform Telegram advertising puppies for sale. 

Mr Tan claims that the advertised prices of pets from illegal breeders overseas could be about half of what one would pay at local pet shops.

“But the risk that such animals may not have had the proper vaccinations or health checks outweighs the cost,” says the 44-year-old.

According to the Animal & Veterinary Service, animals entering Singapore require rabies vaccination, blood tests and quarantine, depending on the exporting country’s rabies risk status.
