Calling All Dog Lovers!

All right all you dog lovers out here in Hong Kong, time to show just how much you love our furry friends! HK Dog Rescue has to leave their Pok Fu Lam home BY APRIL 30TH. Their original plan to move to a new place in Tung Chung fell through (place was unsuitable for use as a kennel), and as a result, all their dogs will be homeless when they have to move at the end of this month!

This is a letter from the founder of HK Dog Rescue describing their dire situation and pleading for us to open our hearts, homes, wallets, and thoughts to these poor soon-to-be homeless doggies:

If you have read my recent blog posts or today’s SCMP story on HKDR’s current situation, you will be aware that the land near Tung Chung that we had been planning to move to has turned out not to be suitable for use as a kennel.


All of our focus and efforts over the past few months have been on building a new Homing Centre there, and now we are left with nowhere to go. Swire Properties have confirmed that 30th April is the final deadline for us to leave our current Pokfulam Kennels site, which means that as from the end of this month HKDR – and that means all of the dogs – will be homeless.


We need help, and urgently. If you are thinking about adopting a dog, please come to our kennels and have a look at those that are waiting there. If you can foster until we sort a new site out (and we don’t know how long that will take), please offer a temporary home to one of our dogs. If you can donate money to help us pay for private boarding, or sponsor a particular dog’s boarding costs, please let us know.


We have just two weeks to find a place for our dogs. Please, please HELP. Send out this message to all of your friends, work colleagues or database if you have one.


We also need a place to build our planned Homing Centre. There must be someone who knows of a suitable site, so help us get the word out across Hong Kong.

PLEASE HELP! and thank you.

This truly hits close to home. We are all dog owners & lovers, and we know how much potential all dogs have to grow and become such an integral part of one's life. The companionship is like no other. We hope you feel the same, and are able to help out in any which way! We will definitely be doing our part.

Adopt, Foster, Donate... Let's keep each other posted on how we helped =)

HKIS 11th Annual Fashion Show - March 20th 2010

We had the privilege of sponsoring the 11th Annual HKIS Fashion Show last Saturday. This is a huge event in the international school/high society circle every year, and we were truly impressed (but not surprised!) to see all of their state of the art equipment and the grade A production that these students put on! In addition to a roster of the hippest and most prestigious sponsors, the event also showcased a slew of HKIS's student talents. So many juicy talents under one roof, and in my head I boldly dubbed a few of these kids "The Next Tom Fords," "The Wilder Thomas Wyldes," "The Future of Couture."

We pulled out all our best new stock, and because we opened the show for them it was super energetic and explosive! We were quite relieved to have been able to just sit back, relax, and enjoy the rest of the fantastic show without having to continue worrying about whether our clothes were fitting properly or if there'd be any wardrobe malfunctions. Luckily, everything worked out perfectly and everything looked fabulous on these young'uns of course! Here are some of the outfits:

One amazing aspect and advantage of having the funds to attend these prestigious (aka. bank-breaking) schools is that they have the ability to not only give high quality education and whip up these spectacularly lavish fashion shows, but they also have the means to organize a variety of meaningful and life-altering outreach activities as well. Every year the kids spend a week outside of school in different parts of the world, giving back to society and experiencing eye-opening real-life situations among people who live in extreme poverty. This year they spent a week in Thailand with Habitat for Humanity, building houses and spending time with the village kids. These experiences teach these high society kids to care about the world around them and outside of what they've known their whole lives. And opens their hearts to discover the differences that each of them can make and the significance that they each hold in this world.

HKIS's charity doesn't stop there. These annual fashion shows are also held for charitable causes. They raised $500,000 with this year's show! We appreciate and admire the work they've done and will continue to do, and are so happy to have been involved in a small part in this year's fundraising efforts.
