Hong Kong - Media OutReach - 28 September 2023 - The devastating effects of super typhoon Saola and the catastrophic black rain that paralysed parts of Hong Kong in September were hard-felt among the city's many animal rescue centres.

The record-breaking rainfall saw several community-led shelters in Tai Po, Fanling and Yuen Long destroyed by the 'once-in-500-years' rain. Beds, food, refrigeration equipment, and essential medical supplies were simply washed away.

Many of these rescue centres are run by volunteers and rely on donations to survive. To help their recovery and reconstruction efforts, Media OutReach Newswire has donated HK$45,000 to nine separate dog shelters across the territory. You too can help. Find out more about these shelters below.
