Dear Friends,
The Agricultural, Fisheries and Conversation Department will be coming to
Lamma next Tuesday, August 27th to give their annual Rabies Shot and Licencing Service for dogs. Please see AFCD's notice below.
Lamma Animal Protection (LAP) is now organzing some volunteer work so
that the old, handicapped and those who have to work next Tuesday could also utilize AFCD's service. LAP's volunteer could take their dogs to AFCD's vaccination station next Tuesday on their behalf.
For this, LAP asks if you could:
1) check around your friends and neighbours if anyone would need LAP's help to use AFCD's service;
2) if you have time, could you help by putting in a few hours of volunteer work next Tuesday morning and join LAP's group of volunteers to
help bring the dogs down for their shots
LAP's Dr John Wedderburn is organizing the volunteering work. Please
contact him direct at
john@lap.org.hk if you have pitch in.
Thank you for your time.
