Leases for 8 out of 35 tenants at The Animal Lodge will not be renewed after failing tender requirements: AVS
The affected tenants include seven dog breeders and an operator of a pet boarding facility.
Eight commercial tenants at The Animal Lodge will not have their leases renewed in December 2021 after failing to meet tender requirements aimed at enhancing animal welfare and operational standards in the pet sector. Seven of the eight tenants are dog breeders, while the remaining tenant is a pet boarding facility operator. These businesses are among 35 existing commercial tenants at the Sungei Tengah facility, with their current leases expiring on December 5, 2021.
The Animal and Veterinary Service (AVS), under the National Parks Board, carried out the tender exercise to identify businesses that would improve animal welfare and operational outcomes beyond baseline regulatory requirements. AVS provided assistance and guidance to tenants during the tender process. Proposals were assessed holistically against criteria including animal health and welfare standards, husbandry practices, and regulatory track record.
AVS will work with the eight unsuccessful tenants to facilitate their relocation and rehoming of animals under their care. The decision is final, and no appeals will be considered.
