Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department

Dear Yin,

For Q1, AFCD does not have information on number of local animal shelters
in Hong Kong as registration is not required.

For Q2, Under normal circumstance, AFCD will not transfer animals to local
animal shelter.  However, AFCD currently collaborates with 17 partnered
Animal Welfare Organisations (AWOs) to rehome dogs, cats, rabbits, birds
and reptiles.  In cases where the animals being left unclaimed are in good
health conditions and assessed by a veterinary surgeon as having a gentle
temperament and suitable for adoption, AFCD will arrange for their
transfer to AWOs for adoption by members of the public.

The number of animal transferred to AWO for adoption over the past three
years is tabulated as follows:

Calendar Year No. of Animal Rehomed
Dog Cat Others*
2019 547 78 44
2020 427 80 412
2021 348 72 210
2022 (up to June) 159 21 106

*Including small mammals, reptiles and birds  

Regards,
Dennis WONG
for Director of Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation
