Kinder Hearts

Kinder Hearts aims to raise awareness on how to best obtain a dog in Singapore. Puppies from pet shops often have numerous physical and behavioural issues due to poor and cruel breeding practices. Adopting a purebreed or buying from a responsible, ethical breeder is much more ethical and economical. Pet shop puppies usually come from puppymills, places where dogs are treated like puppy-making machines without love and care. Due to this mistreatment, their health suffers. Unhealthy parents lead to unhealthy puppies, and many puppies from pet shops end up very sickly. They also rarely possess the breed traits they are known for. Once the parent breeding dogs' health inevitably declines due to the mistreatment, their baby-making abilities are affected, and they are killed off or thrown out to die. To buy from a pet shop that gets their puppies from puppymills is to directly give thousands of dollars in support of this cruelty.

Instead, adopt a purebreed or mixed breed dog, or buy from a reputable, ethical breeder from overseas. Shelter dogs are treated with love and care, nursed to good health and have their behavioural issues rehabilitated. 

Kinder Hearts holds events where we bring adopted and/or ex-breeding dogs down to give talks to educate the public and promote a culture in Singapore that does not accept the cruelty in puppymills. At the same time, the public is advised on where to get happy, healthy dogs in Singapore.
