PACE
PACE stands for People and Animal Community Engagement! We serve our dedication to engaging with and caring for the stray dog community in Singapore. Through our weekly sessions at Mercylight, our nonprofit partner organisation that homes shelter dogs, we help with walking, feeding, showering, and administering basic care such as medication and simple physiotherapy. Most importantly, we create meaningful interactions that bring joy to both the dogs and our volunteers. PACE offers a rewarding experience for those passionate about animal welfare, providing hands-on opportunities to connect with and learn more about these lovable companions!
