Hong Kong Dog Rescue (HKDR) was set up in 2002, registered as a Society in August 2003 and in March 2005 gained full charity status. It is run by founder, Sally Andersen, with the support of many dedicated volunteers.

It is HKDR's policy that all dogs be treated with respect and kindness, all training and rehabilitation is done by positive reinforcement, never punishment. Many dogs are abandoned by their owners because of behaviour problems caused by bad, or no, training. HKDR believes education about the keeping of dogs as pets is vital to prevent cruelty through ignorance and the abandonment of so many.

We also encourage the de-sexing of all dogs, and insist on de-sexing for all puppies adopted through HKDR if not already done. All adult dogs are routinely de-sexed prior to adoption.

HKDR offers follow-up support and advice to all adopters, especially first time dog owners.
