Singapore, 1 April 2026 – Volkswagen Group Singapore (VGS) invites one and all to “Unleash the Zoomies,” a special fund-raising campaign celebrating International Pet Day. Pet owners know that there’s nothing quite like the joy of pets’ spontaneous bursts of energy, filling homes with laughter and love. Together with the SPCA, VGS is launching a heartwarming initiative to celebrate the “zoomies,” combining love for animals with the thrill of driving. “We are honoured to be part of this meaningful initiative with Volkswagen this International Pets Day, celebrating the special bond between people and animals while advocating for their care, respect, and wellbeing,” said Natalie Chan, Deputy Executive Director at the SPCA.

From 1 to 11 April 2026, every test drive in a Volkswagen, Škoda, or CUPRA vehicle will contribute directly to a worthy cause. For each test drive completed, VGS will donate $10 to the SPCA, helping support vulnerable animals and giving them a second chance at life. VGS has chosen International Pet Day as the perfect occasion for this initiative as it honors the human-animal bond, while aiming to reduce the number of homeless animals and encouraging pet owners to improve their furry companions’ quality of life. As a leading advocate for kindness to animals, the SPCA was chosen as the ideal partner for this initiative with our shared vision.

All are welcome at 247 Alexandra Road with no registration required, visitors can explore a Pet Market showcasing selected vendors offering artisanal treats and thoughtfully designed accessories. These include a unique goat milk treat making workshop by Lunavae, pet supplies such as PDRN shampoo and mouth sprays from D-Station, and even pet tarot reading with Cosmic Harmony by Shena! For those who are keen to deepen their understanding of animal welfare, informative sessions by the SPCA and AIA will provide valuable insights into responsible pet ownership, care, and well-being. The talks aim to empower both current and aspiring pet owners with knowledge that goes beyond the basics, reinforcing the importance of compassion and responsibility.

Driving change, one journey at a time

“Volkswagen Group Singapore has supported numerous animal-friendly causes with our partnerships and activations over the years, we also offer various models that fit seamlessly into pet-friendly lifestyles. This fund-raising event with the SPCA was therefore a natural fit for us, as we hope to make a positive and lasting difference for our furry friends and their owners,” shared John Gaw, Sales and Marketing Director at Volkswagen Group Singapore.

For devoted pet owners, animal lovers or even those who are considering their next car, this initiative offers a chance to be part of something bigger. It’s a reminder that even small actions like a short test drive can create a ripple effect of positive change.
