There have been times in the past when we have had to call upon our supporters for urgent help, and now we need to ask again.
We knew that with the arrival of the MTR in Ap Lei Chau the rents would increase, that was inevitable. What we hadn't anticipated was that the new asking price for our Ap Lei Chau Homing Centre would be almost DOUBLE the current rental.
What's even worse is that the landlord waited until the last minute to tell us about the proposed increase, presuma...bly wanting to be sure that the MTR had opened before making a decision.
So now we have until the end of March to find somewhere new, less than 3 months. I would normally say that would be impossible, but we have a lot of connected supporters who may be able to come up with something. We certainly hope so for the sake of the dogs.
If you know of anywhere that could be suitable (and don't forget it's a Dog Homing Centre) please email me at sally@hongkongdogrescue.com, and thank you in advance.
