Last week, a devastating fire tore through Wang Fuk Court in Hong Kong, claiming at least 160 lives. But the tragedy didn't spare the city's four-legged residents: animal welfare groups estimate over 600 pets – dogs, cats, and more – were affected.
Within hours, volunteers from local shelters and charities flooded the scene, transforming community halls into makeshift kennels stocked with food, medicine, and cozy bedding. They're family, and they deserve care, says Jamie, a rescue volunteer. 🐾❤️
Rescuers go door-to-door, searching for displaced or injured animals and reuniting them with their families whenever possible. For those without homes to return to, shelters are offering temporary foster care, ensuring each pet feels safe until a permanent home is found.
This incredible community response highlights the bond between people and their pets. As Hong Kong mourns and rebuilds, volunteers remain determined to give every affected animal a second chance. After all, pets are family – and no one should be left behind.
