Dear HK Animal Lovers,

 

2010 plans to be another busy & exciting year for ALL animal welfare groups in

HK.

 

Just a quick update on how you can help or get involved...

 

* As you may know, Hong Kong Dog Rescue is moving location/premises very soon--I

am sure they need all the help they can get--please adopt/volunteer/donate time

or money if you can. The good news is they will have a huge new site in Lantau

where the dogs can run around. http://www.hongkongdogrescue.com/

 

* Vincent at Lifelong Animal Protection

http://www.facebook.com/l/a65a0;www.lap.org.hk/adoptdog.html is still looking

for a home---can someone give this dog the loves he really really deserves? He

is a survivor in the truest sense of the word.

 

* SPCA is working tirelessly again trying to get TNR up and running---please

also look into participating in their annual Wag 'N' Walk January 31st

http://www.facebook.com/l/a65a0;www.spca.org.hk/eng/news/petwalk10_index.asp

 

* Animals Asia is also holding a walk to highlight the plight of animals

http://www.facebook.com/l/a65a0;www.animalsasia.org/WalkForHarmony/ February

28th in Happy Valley. They are also in need of volunteers for their Doctor Dog

program and Professor Paws---which are both very successful community services

in HK.

 

* Hong Kong Alley Cat is always looking for cat fosters

http://www.facebook.com/l/a65a0;www.hkalleycats.com/ . They are also trying to

get the Cat Colony program up and running in Shek-O. If you live there and can

help--- please have a peek at their website.

 

Again, look into your closest /favorite (so many!) animal shelters/groups and

help out in 2010. A little goes a long way.

 

Onto STOP---- this year we will be highlighting the smuggling of animals/pets

from China, working on the TNR issue again, getting stricter pet shops

regulations implemented and maybe starting a " monitoring " group ( any interest

please email us) , educating the community about desexing and why you should

ADOPT. DON'T SHOP!

 

Some of our pr /education / events will include this year:

 

DON'T CAGE YOUR BITCHES a PR event in FEBUARY

 

KNOW YOUR PETS RIGHTS Q & A Forum (is your building management trying to evict

your family members out?) in MARCH

 

SAFE SEX 4 PETS II party in APRIL

 

SMUGGLING PR event in MAY ( or sooner if we can pull if off)

 

DESEXED IN THE CITY in SEPTEMBER

 

WOOFSTOCK (bands/beers/dogs/ outdoor event and will feature all your favorite

animal charities) in OCTOBER

 

PETS ARE LIFE, NOT FOR XMAS in December

 

We are always in need of volunteers---don't be shy--we are a fun group!

 

and most importantly the OPEN STOP MEETINGS--come and learn what's really going

on behind the scenes! Bring your friends--we are a mix bag of people from all

walks of life--from pole dancers to lawyers! but we all love animals and want to

help--and we are pretty groovy as well---

 

1st Tuesday of the month----FEBRUARY 2, APRIL 6, JUNE 1, AUGUST 3, OCTOBER 5,

DECEMBER 7th---mark your calendars

 

Love,

 

Your friends at STOP
