SINGAPORE: Ways to make pet adoption easier amid safe distancing measures are set to roll out by end of May, according to the National Development Ministry .

“Definitely whatever it is we decide on, in terms of the protocol, we have to make sure it takes into account safe distancing measures that are important within the current COVID-19 pandemic,” said Ms Sun. While online adoption platforms exist, those who run such adoption programmes said that interaction is necessary before making such a life-changing decision.

“Would this incremental increase of dogs, is that going to impact society on a whole? Are we going to get more complaints from the public? Are the authorities going to have to deal with more manpower issues to look into all these issues?” he added. “We’re looking to try to standardise that a little to see how we can make it more efficient, more effective, and that is also to facilitate a better understanding from the government agencies as to what the animal welfare groups need.”
