Background
Amigo, Dino, Tess and Mikel were redeemed from NParks on 26 Oct 2022. According to NParks, they were trapped because they had been loitering at HDB void decks, which led to complaints from residents. Their story highlights the challenges that community animals face in our increasingly urban environment, where their homes are gradually lost to development and coexistence with humans remains a challenge.
Personality
Amigo is more unsure of humans than the others. She didn't like her first bath very much as she did not like strangers to touch her, but this isn't unusual. With time, patience and love, Amigo has now opened up and greets us happily! She enjoys her walks, especially with her "boyfriends" Dino and Koda, who both follows her wherever she goes!
