Weds 22nd Feb: Rudolph the Awesome has arrived

Edmund has a new home

It doesn't take long for our friendly smaller-sized dogs to find their new families and little Edmund left Ap Lei Chau today with his adopters today, while Missy will be picked up after her desexing on Thursday.

I also forgot to mention that shiba inu Lucy, who ran away from outside Acorn and made her way back to her foster home, has been formally adopted by her foster.  It was clear that Lucy (aka Niki) was very happy there so she has now been desexed and will be staying.   Her two pups are in a home together for now, although once old enough one of them will be looking for a home of his or her own (there's a girl and a boy).

Missy has someone coming for her on Thursday

Unfortunately there are still those who languish for many months, or even years, if they have some behaviour issues, and the really sad thing is that they are all just longing for a person to call their own so they can drop their defences.  The type of problems that these little dogs have are very typical of those that missed out on a happy puppyhood and weren't socialised properly.  I know, because we have seen it so many times, that if they are given time in a home these dogs will overcome their fears and phobias, many of which aren't really serious anyway.  I've mentioned poodle Maya in a lot of my blogs but she's still there, waiting for that one person/couple who will give her a chance.

Surely someone would love to take Maya home?

Peanut is very young and active

Peanut is another gorgeous little dog who is probably part Jack Russell judging by her looks and energy level, and I really can't understand why she's still waiting.  She just needs a very shirt time to get to know you before becoming a really happy and friendly girl.

Obviously we don't place these dogs in homes with children, but there are a lot of adults-only families where these very slightly "imperfect" (for now) dogs would become perfect.

And please remember that we have so many wonderful, problem-free larger sized dogs at our Tai Po Homing Centre, which is open every single day of the year so you can meet them all.
