The Hong Kong Dog Rescue (HKDR; Chinese: 救狗之家) is a registered charity in Hong Kong established in 2003 by Sally Andersen. The founding purpose is to save dogs and puppies from the Hong Kong Government's Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department (AFCD) Animal Management Centers, where at that time thousands of dogs and puppies were killed every year.[1][2][3][4]
In 2023, most of the dogs and puppies in HKDR come from different sources, and very few from AFCD.[5][6] HKDR has rescued, cared for and re-homed more than 10,000 dogs and puppies.
HKDR is a no kill organization,[7] meaning no dog under its care will be euthanized for any reason other than when it is the only humane option.
