Sheila McClelland, Founder
Sheila McClelland, the founder of LAP, has been passionately committed to animal welfare since she stepped up to rescue her first dog, Boodhai, in 1991.
Shocked by the more than 25,000 abandoned dogs and cats killed by the Hong Kong Government each year, she decided to act. The result was LAP, first as Lamma Animal Protection, now broadened across Hong Kong into Lifelong Animal Protection, but still very much with animal protection at its core.
Firmly of the belief that as soon as an animal shelter is opened it's full, Sheila instead established an effective network of short-term volunteer foster homes to care for rescued abandoned animals until their adopters and lifelong home can be found. Of course there is never enough space, so some animals of various species inevitably end up at Sheila's home on Lamma, where her husband John never knows exactly who will welcome him home each day.
Now there are two successful adoption centres, physical points for adopters, volunteers, fosters and the animals to meet
Sheila, together with LAP's dedicated band of supporters, volunteers and foster carers strive to re-home animals, educate children and adults and support Government measures to promote desexing, outlaw unscrupulous breeders, and tighten animal cruelty laws.
Sheila's job will only be finished when LAP is no longer needed in Hong Kong.
