About the Campaign
The campaign title, 旺财好 (wàng cái hǎo), reflects a genuine wish for the receiver to experience incredible prosperity in the New Year and beyond (‘旺财’– prosperity; ‘好’– good). ‘旺财’ (wàng cái) is also a popular nostalgic Chinese name for dogs, especially mongrels – a fascinating duality for the Year of the Dog.
For many, Chinese New Year is a delightful time of homecoming and reunions. Thus, it is also our desire that the less-fortunate Wang Cai’s of this world can also experience hope and happiness – with the ultimate goal of giving them a better home.

Neutering/spaying a dog is cheaper than a one-person setting at a restaurant reunion dinner.

The number of unwanted pets tends to rise sharply during festive seasons, a situation often caused by factors like inconvenience.

Only 10-15% of street puppies survive puppyhood, due to harsh weather, illness, abusers, speeding vehicles and lacking nutrients.

Stray mongrels usually live only 4-5 years. In loving homes, they live up to 15 – or sometimes even 18-19 – years!
