About the organisation
Hong Kong Paws Foundation (HK Paws) is a locally registered, non-profit animal welfare charity, operated by a group of dedicated volunteers on generous donations. We rescue cats and dogs that have been abused, abandoned, injured, and displaced. 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. It allows us to organize rescue operations with great confidence that we could provide immediate care and shelter for furry kids in need.
Mission
The mission of HK Paws is to raise awareness of animal welfare issues and care for those who cannot speak for themselves. We believe that every member of our society has a responsibility to alleviate animal cruelty.
