This Dog Walk Shows You Why Mongrels Are Essentially A Breed!

This Dog Walk Shows You Why Mongrels Are Essentially A Breed!


What is sweeter than a regular Dog Walk you ask? When there’s a good cause behind it of course! The people of Exclusively Mongrels threw an event dedicated to not just Dogs, but Mongrels- Singapore Specials. This was also the first ever event held in honour of giving local Mongrels more credit that is long overdue!

Singapore Specials Day


Animal Abandonment is a serious issue in many countries, bringing about the many shelters and organisations made up of kind-hearted souls with a common goal in mind- to save as many furry lives as they can. And that’s exactly what most Pet events are all about; educational efforts on responsible Pet Care, and hopes of finding Forever Homes for animals ready for adoption!

Many Volunteers are also foster parents for these unfortunate animals, everybody plays a part in spreading the same message, we can all potentially give a loving home and prevent innocent animals from being abused and/or euthanized. Due to the human nature of desiring something brand new or pure-bred, at times we overlook the fact that all species and types of Pets provide us with never-ending love.



Dog Walk With A Twist


Dreary weather for the past few weeks caught us all by surprise when it decided to seriously beat down on the event, with strong heat and bright sunny skies. Locating the event was not hard, as we approached Leban Garden (along Upper Thomson) we could already make out the tents and hear the event commotion. Given that this event was meant for the love of Mongrels, it did not hinder the fact that participants came from all walks of lives, both pure and mixed breeds. An amicable gesture by the organisers we must say, allowing all to feel welcome and able to play a part in this cause.

If you didn’t know, Exclusively Mongrels also included a video series on their Facebook page prior to the event! We thought the most memorable one was how Dog lovers were made to guess a Dog’s breed by touch, whilst fully blind-folded! P.S. turns out these Doggos were all Mongrels, mistaken for Pure Breds! There’s more than meets the eye, indeed.



Event Highlights


This was also our first-time attending an adoption drive with a twist! Two separate tents, one with a semi-circular stage (part of the park) housing merchants and performances, and a slightly smaller tent for Adoption booths and furry companions up for adoption.

We were thoroughly entertained by the Emcees, and serenaded to the song Home (original of local artiste Kit Chan), performed at the event by lovely lady. This song was chosen to depict the meaning of finding a place the Canine pals could finally call home. Can’t deny the fact that we got a little teary-eyed after that explanation.



Adopt A Special


Crossing the playground to the Adoption tent was quite a treat, it was well cooled which was perfect for Doggos to take a break, allowing potential Pawrents a chance to meet and greet Singapore Specials that were up for adoption. From puppies to adult Mongrels, there wasn’t a shred of hostility, they were all eager to be friends

Time flew by quickly when we were there, drawing an end to the event. A good cardio session, lovely stage performances and furry love. The weather had nothing on us! After all, if you needed a refreshing drink or fill up your tummies, Sembawang Food Centre was located right by the event
