HKDR was founded in 2003 for the specific purpose of saving dogs and puppies from the Hong Kong Government’s Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department (AFCD) Animal Management Centers. The organization has cared for and re-homed more than 7,500 dogs while being largely funded by private donations, sales of HKDR merchandises and fundraising events. HKDR is proud to be a No Kill Organization, meaning that no dog under its care will be euthanized for any reason other than when it is the only humane option.
