Community Service
[FULL] In Step with Dogs 同步手牽狗
UN Sustainable Development Goals
In this service, you will visit Hong Kong Dog Rescue (HKDR)'s Homing Centre in Tai Po to understand the organization's work and challenges ahead. You will get to show care and love to rescued dogs by visiting their kennels, taking a walk with them and assisting HKDR staff with centre renovation chores.
每年香港被遺棄及人道毁滅的狗多達10,000隻，當中有少部份有幸得到救狗之家的拯救，獲安置到轄下領養中心等待合適家庭領養。你將會到大埔領養中心協助整理及清潔設施，接觸待領養狗隻，帶領牠們散步，並提供運動、社交與受訓的機會予牠們，藉此了解機構的工作及所面對的挑戰。
