Something exciting is coming to the heart of Singapore!  

The Animal & Veterinary Service (AVS) is proud to present Paws in the City, our first ever pet event in the Central Business District! This time, we are bringing adoption drives right to the city centre, making it easier for you to find your new furry (or feathered) companion! Come meet dogs that are pre-trained in outdoor toilet etiquette or cats that “knead” someone in their lives. There will also be chances to check out adoption booklets of other animals such as parrots searching for a forever home.  

If you are not quite ready to commit to a pet yet, there will also be animal-themed items and activities for you to browse or try your hands at, making it the perfect weekday lunch break or after-work stop for those in and around the CBD.  

Dates: 27 to 29 August 2026
Time: 11am to 8pm 
Location: Urban Park, Guoco Tower, 1 Wallich Street, Singapore 078881 

If you have ever considered giving an animal a loving home, this is the event for you!  

More details of the event will be released closer to the date.  

Stay tuned for Paws in the City!
