The mission of Water for Free is to share and communicate with the public the issues regarding water fountains, raising awareness and promoting its use in order to reduce plastic waste. We realize the insufficiency and inadequacy of the provision of water fountains in Hong Kong. That’s why we need to amplify our voice so that the public and the authority will pay more attention to the issue. Plastic waste does not only fill up our landfills, it also spills into the seas and mountains, posing great threats to wildlife. According to 2015 figure, 136 tonnes of PET bottle waste was dumped in Hong Kong, which could be converted to about 5 million beverage bottles! How does it get so devastating? Bottled water, cheap and expensive alike, have been marketed extensively throughout the city. While we already have high quality tap water, why spend a thousand time more on bottled water and creating unnecessary waste?

Through veterinary treatment, behavior training, socialization, and foster services - and by prioritizing animal welfare - we hope to eventually rehome every one of them to the best possible match of adopters. Since early 2005, we have been working closely with local animal shelters, fosters and adopters, rehoming thousands of cats and dogs. In October 2011, HK Paws was officially recognized by the Hong Kong Inland Revenue Department as a Hong Kong charity (Charity No.: 91/11168). In 2022, The Bow-Wow Inn by HK Paws was born as a halfway house for dogs waiting to be rehomed. Operating a boarding center on our own relieves us from the pressure of jam-packed local shelters and dwindling foster help in recent years.
