Rise Wise, a Hong Kong-based social enterprise focused on social inclusion and mental wellness, has opened “The Puppy Lounge by Rise Wise” in Sheung Wan, introducing a new therapy dog and co-wellness space for the community.
Located on Queen’s Road West, the two-storey space brings together professional pet services, mental wellness programs, and inclusive employment initiatives for youth with Special Educational Needs (SEN).
More than a pet center, The Puppy Lounge operates under a social enterprise model, providing hands-on training in professional pet care and grooming for underprivileged SEN youth, while offering city residents a calm, dog-friendly space to unwind and reconnect with resident therapy dogs.
The ground floor serves as an open social and wellness space where visitors can relax, work quietly, or spend time with the dogs, while the upper floor houses grooming services, training programs, and a Doggy Kindergarten run by a professional team.
The project is supported by the HKEX Foundation through the HKEX Impact FundingScheme, with collaborative support from The Hong Kong Council of Social Service.
In addition to daily services, The Puppy Lounge is open for venue bookings, hosting adoption events, community workshops, and private bookings like birthdays, extending its mission of care and inclusion beyond its walls.

Location: 85 Queen’s Road West, Sheung Wan, Hong Kong
Opening Hours: Daily, from 10 AM to 7 PM
