Adrift from secluded forests to industrial estates, until at last, they find a gentle coast and a safe harbour, no longer lost to the vast sea of uncertainty. They’re home, they can finally rest, be safe and well-loved. Going about their quirky selves on Safe Shores.
Safe Shores embodies a safe place and is a word play of SS, the abbreviation of Singapore Specials, endearingly named for our rescued stray dogs. Do you know there are over 7000 stray dogs in Singapore? We don’t often see them as they usually reside in secluded forests and industrial areas. While there are several pet shelters that rescue and house these dogs, most shelters are operating at full capacity, with no space to take in more. The Trap-Neutral-Release (TNR) programme has been an effective way to control the population of stray dogs by sterilising and releasing them back. Some dogs would be housed at shelters where they get a chance to be adopted by the public.
This design features 54 Singapore Specials, 44 of which are well-loved in their forever homes, 4 of them crossed the rainbow bridge, 5 of them currently still resides in the shelter of SOSD and one of them is lost and dearly missed. The purpose of the Safe Shores series is to raise funds for SOSD in helping with the medical bills of these dogs and raise awareness to help with the stigma that still surround these misunderstood but wonderful Singapore Specials. We wanted to bring out the best side of these furbabies to show their colourful personalities and stories of how much they’ve brought to the people who’ve adopted them.
The project started with an open call where pet owners send in photos of their pets and share with us their rescue / abandonment stories as well as what their dogs love. Many people have shared heartwarming stories about how adopting a SS has changed their lives - while the initial years of adopting has been challenging, many of them have blossomed from skittish dogs to more confident ones under lots of patience and love. These dogs have not just the resilience to overcome challenges but also the capacity to love and give in their own unique way. They deserve the best. And like all dogs, dogs make the world a better place.
50% of the proceeds from the Safe Shores series will be donated to SOSD to help with medical bills - the factor that takes the biggest financial tolls. Each dollar donated will be matched by Toteboard to maximise our donations. To encourage you to help with this campaign, we are giving limited edition iron-on patches where you can decorate your pets bandana. For any purchase of 3 or more Safe Shores t-shirts, you can get one pack of 3 patches for each t-shirt purchased. You need not purchase in multiples of 3 t-shirts, as long as there are 3 or more Safe Shores t-shirts in the same order. i.e. purchasing 5 Safe Shores t-shirts will get you 5 packs of iron-on patches.
While stocks last!
