Did you know the Singapore Zoo cares for dogs too?

From Zoo to Zoomies!

Singapore Zoo’s KidzWorld is home to a pack of rescued dogs (and cats!) who now jump hoops (literally) in the Animal Friends presentation to help with pet care education and advocating for Adopt Don’t Shop.

Meet Natalie & the dogs at Singapore Zoo

Meet Natalie, Manager of Animal Behaviour & Programmes, Mandai Wildlife Reserve (Singapore Zoo).

  • Dual-certified behaviour specialist (IAABC-ADT & AVS-ACDT) – the same credentials top behaviourists lean on for science-based, force-free methods.

  • Almost 20 years of hands-on wizardry (since 2005) rehabbing dogs and cats facing fear-based aggression, avoidance, or separation blues.

  • Rescue champion – from training rescue pups and calming Singapore Specials, Natalie’s playbook turns panic into tail-wags.

Because Natalie co-creates every Pawpaw consult and course, you’re tapping into rescue-proven strategies that have already helped hundreds of once-nervous animals thrive.
