In Step with Dogs 同步手牽狗

Description

[This is a Community Service under Community GO]

In this service, volunteers will visit Sai Kung Stray Friends Foundation (SKSFF) to understand the organization's work and their challenges ahead. Volunteers will have the chance to show love and care to rescued dogs by visiting their kennels and taking a walk with them. Volunteers will also assist SKSFF staff in other general kennel tasks.

每年香港被遺棄及人道毁滅的狗多達10,000隻,當中少部份狗隻有幸得到西貢流浪狗協會的拯救,獲安置到轄下領養中心等待合適家庭。參與這次服務的義工將會到西貢領養中心幫忙整理及清潔犬舍,接觸待領養狗隻,帶領牠們散步,提供運動、社交與受訓的機會,藉此了解機構的工作及所面對的挑戰。
