Singapore – On-demand delivery platform Lalamove launches the ‘Make a Pawfect Move’ campaign to allow users in Asia and Latin America to help abandoned pets by donating their loyalty points.

Lalamove also partnered with SOSD, an animal shelter based in Singapore that rescues, rehabilitates, and finds new homes for stray dogs, granting them a renewed chance for a better life.

Through this new campaign, users can send their love to furry friends at SOSD by registering as members of Lalamove Rewards and accumulating LalaPoints. With a minimum of 1,250 LalaPoints, SDG5 will be donated to SOSD to provide two nourishing meals for a furry companion.

Lalamove’s ‘Make a Pawfect Move’ campaign is an extension of its ‘Deliver Care’ initiative. The campaign aims to better the lives of abandoned dogs through donations while also helping to support their shelter ‘paw-rents’ who pour their hearts into keeping the group running at SOSD.

Joining hands with pet lovers, Lalamove is encouraging everyone to join the cause and spread the word to paws-itively donate their LalaPoints to create a tail-wagging, paw-fect world for furry companions.

Alex Lin, managing director at Lalamove, said, “In recent years, the number of pet owners, particularly for dogs, in Singapore has surged from 70,000 in 2019 to 87,000 in 2022. This growing affection for pets signifies a shift in how people perceive their furry companions, treating them as beloved family members. We, like many Singaporeans, share this love. That’s why a ‘Pawfect Move’ is exciting, as it brings together our Lalamove users with a passion of ours to help pets in need. Lalamove consistently supports various aspects of pet life, including delivering essentials to our vast partner network of pet suppliers.”

“With the collective support of 57,207 active Singaporeans in our Lalamove Rewards Programme and our partnership with SOSD, we hope to raise awareness about animal welfare and create a positive impact in the lives of our beloved furry friends,” he added.

Meanwhile, Magdalene Eng, head of outreach and fundraising at SOSD, also commented, “Lalamove’s generous support will empower us with essential resources and supplies to enhance the living conditions and medical care for our rescued pets, ensuring they receive the highest level of care during their journey to adoption.”

Singapore – Global financial super app Revolut has onboarded two new animal welfare charities namely, Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) and SOSD, to its in-app donations platform in Singapore.

To encourage Singapore customers to support SPCA and SOSD, Revolut Singapore will be enabling personalised cards for all customers, with S$2.00 going straight to the aforementioned charities.  

Through this initiative, Revolut Singapore customers can play a part in supporting these organizations while at the same time getting their very own personalised card which they can design to show their love for animals with emojis, sketches and / or names of their pets. Additionally, they can also go directly to the Donations platform in-app and make a donation to the charity of their choice.

Furthermore, Revolut Singapore is also holding a social media giveaway, where customers can upload a photo or story of their personalized card on Instagram with the hashtag #MyPawsomeRevolut and tag @revolutapp, @spcasingapore and @sosdsingapore. The five most creative designs will win prizes, including a 6 months free Metal membership from Revolut, and prizes from SPCA and SOSD.

Ashley Thomas, head of strategy & operations at Revolut Singapore, said, “We are thrilled to partner with SPCA and SOSD to support the vital work they are doing. At Revolut, we are always looking for ways to make a positive impact on society and this partnership allows us to do just that.”

“By ordering their very own personalised card, customers can play an important role in supporting these charities. They can also make additional donations through our in-app Donations platform, enabling them to give back to the community and support causes they care about in a simple and effective way,“ she added.

Meanwhile, Aarthi Sankar, executive director at SPCA, also commented, “The SPCA is very grateful for partners like Revolut who share our commitment to animal welfare. Companies like Revolut exemplify the essence of social consciousness by ingeniously crafting pathways that not only align with their goals but also rally more individuals to champion impactful causes. They bridge the gap between commerce and compassion, cultivating a community of individuals who are not only customers but also compassionate advocates.”

Lastly, Magdalene Eng, head of outreach and fundraising at SOSD, mentioned, “SOSD is delighted to announce our collaboration with Revolut. All proceeds from the donations will be dedicated to SOSD, ensuring that it benefits the dogs in need.  We are grateful for this collaboration and the chance to improve the lives of our street dogs.“
