Volunteers walking with dogs side by side

The growing number of organizations serving abandoned animals reflects the severity of animal abandonment issue in Hong Kong. Student volunteers helped to address this problem by taking abandoned dogs out for walks to keep them happy and healthy. They also helped out with the maintenance and cleaning of kennels in the shelter.

Description

A really nice experience at Hong Kong Dog Rescue! As a dog lover, it's actually my first time to walk with dogs. Although they all have the misfortune of being ill-treated or being abandoned, they desire to be cared, to be loved, to be adopted.

Dogs are our friends, as always.

So many dogs, with so many thoughts. 400 abandoned dogs in HKDR shelter, all with curious eyes about the world, searching for their second home. No purchase. Take them home.
