	It was a coincident of loosing her beloved dog did May started putting her later thoughts into actions to protect "animal dignity." We live in a very wealthy society. Each and every one of us has different values and desires. But for many animals, they are already very satisfied if they have a roof to sleep under and are not starved.
Warmth and food is the basic needs of every human being, this basic need is also the basic needs for domesticated animals. Just think, when we have enough to eat and a warm bed to sleep in, there are many poor and abandoned animals out there, trying to survive on our garbage.

It is because of the experience of losing her beloved dog, May fully recognizes the feeling of these poor and abandoned animals, and their difficulties in staying alive. Due to this feeling, a desired to help these animals began to grow inside her. At the beginning, there were no organization as such. Slowly, meeting many who share the same value towards animals, the "Animal Re-home Services" was established. This organization is a non-profit making organization with the ultimate aim to help those abandoned animals find a new "home." In addition, we are collecting donations to pay for the spraying and castration fee of these animals and to provide food for them in their temporary shelters.

The problems with stray animals are serious and the sad truth behind the problem is that, many people who decide to keep an animal do not consider the burden fully. Keeping a pet is a lifetime business and commitment. But many owners sadly consider these animals as a chattel. May be because these animals passed their baby cute stage, or because of other problems (eg. illness of the animal or living standard and place), the owners usually give up these animals very easily, some even just dump them on the streets.

One of the aims of the organization is to help these abandoned animals in finding them a new home, and in the meanwhile, provide a temporary shelter for them and to provide them with the basic needs of warmth and food. And that is also how our organization got its name.

Many of our shelters are situated in the New Territories and around very old villages where transportation is bad. It is because of this, we need many helping hands when clearing the shelters or delivering food to these shelters. This is especially the case with the shelter situated in Fo Tan, where the shelter is on the hillside. To get there, walking 200 or so uneven steps is a must. It is of course noted that in order to take care of these animals, love, patience and kindness are the must ingredients. Up to date, we have around 1500 dogs, and around 85% of them are mongrels. In the pass three years, we have successfully re-homed 300 or so dogs, however, less than 10% of them are mongrels. This is not the only worry. The birth rates of these mongrels are astonishing, with each bitch giving birth to another 5 or 6 puppies. This is obvious a nightmare to all of us, therefore, we have started and tried to raise funds to have these animals sprayed and castrated, as to limit the burdens of the shelters.

On the truthful side of life, we, the organi z ation had ran into my problems and depressing situations, but with our belief to protect "animal dignity," we have lasted this long, and our spirit will keep on going. We have been helping 6 animal shelters up to this moment. In the past 2 years, the number of abandoned animals in these shelters have shoot up from 200 or so to 1500 or more. The problems of stray animals are escalating but the money and resources to solve the problem is total beyond our own hands. But we still hope we can do all we can, and do our best to help these poor animals, to provide them with a temporary shelter and a glean hope.
