It's crazy right? Not to say that Shanghai isn't in a charitable mood most of the time, but this is the first instance we've seen of an entire three day stretch dedicated to not one... not two... but four FIVE different charitable events. It's as if the charity heavens opened up and decided this weekend was the day to rain torrents of giving. more ›

Even as the majority of the domestic and international press crowned Inner Mongolia native and Shanghai resident Duo Zirong for her courage to stop the truck and "save" 800 cats from the food trade on July 7, dissenting voices have been raised with regards to the character of this women. And some have gone so far as to call her — as we have heard recently from those involved in various animal rescue organizations — more of a psychopath hoarder than a cat saviour. more ›

You know the Beijing city government is worried about its images leading up the Olympics, because it recently invited Chinese and foreign journalists to visit the dog impounding facilities it's set up for all the unlicensed dogs they've caught in their recent campaign against rabies, biting, and dog shit: more ›

Of course you do. That's why you should head on down to Zapata's (yes, Zapata's) tonight for Second Chance Animal Aid's Gala Holiday Party. It starts at 6:30 pm and a 100 kuai entrance ticket gets you two drinks, food and a raffle ticket. There is a separate raffle for a cool Chang Jiang sidecar motorcycle (see video ... just like the the one Christopher St. Cavish rode on his charity ride through China). You can also inquire about how you can adopt one of the SCAA's wonderful dogs and cats (sorry, this guy and this guy are both taken ... by us). Here's what we got in our email this morning from the SCAA: more ›

Then we have just the event for you: The 2006 International Bachelor Auction, this Sunday, September 10, at Pier One's Monsoon Bar. You can bid on a date with one (or more) of 20 eligible bachelors. All proceeds go to a great cause -- Shanghai Second Chance Animal Aid -- at a time when China's animals could sure use some aid. Admission is RMB 300 if you buy your tickets before Thursday, and RMB 350 after. That price includes a "walking dinner" (we assume that means a buffet) and two drinks. more ›

Well, actually we don't like cats too much since we are allergic, but we love dogs and free drinks. If you do too, you might want to head over to Senses Wine Lounge (515 Jianguo Xi Lu, 龙聚苑酒吧建国西路515号) this week, because they have free drinks for anyone who makes a donation of one kuai (one friggin' kuai) or more to the Shanghai Second Chance Animal Aid organization. That's a deal even the Mouding County police can applaud. more ›
