| Gorgeous Bruno is one of the fuzzy-faced Stanley Barracks pups |
It's the start of a new week, and hopes for all of the dogs and puppies that they may find new homes soon. I'm still waiting for the Veterinary Officer at AFCD in Pokfulam to come back from leave and give the OK for the waiting dogs to go, including one lovely fuzzy-faced Stanley Barracks puppy, but I did at least manage to get an old chihuahua out who has been waiting for too long. He has a testicular tumour which needs to be removed, and the good news is that this obviously also means castration at the same time. I called this sweet boy Tolkien, and he is a very patient and easygoing senior.

| These 3 sisters are permanently happy |
It's time to get a lot of older puppies licensed, so there were four from Ap Lei Chau in the van today: the three happy sisters Ruth, Dolly and Nova, and extra boy Mungo. They are all such lovely characters but they need homes and I can't understand why nobody has chosen them yet. You can meet them any day at our smaller Homing Centre at 21 Main Street, or on Sunday afternoons at Whiskers N Paws.
While Cindy has been busy dealing with renovation fosters for the small dogs, there are still more coming in, mostly from breeders, with three now waiting to arrive in the shape of a dachshund and two poms. Even though we're trying to make space so the painting and repairs can take place we won't turn dogs away if they need help, so please let Cindy know if you can take in a small guest for even just a short time by emailing foster@hongkongdogrescue.com.
Volunteer Jamie is also now very busy with both the Tai Po Homing Centre major renovation plans, and the upcoming gala dinner event. We already have the theme, venue and date fixed as Saturday 9th September at the Aberdeen Marina Club, and as always it's going to be an amazing night I know. If you or your company are interested in being a part of this special evening as sponsors please contact Jamie at jamie@hongkongdogrescue.com.

| Volunteers and supporters at last year's Game of Bones event |
As for Tai Po, the materials are due to arrive this week so the actual work can begin, and all of this is a result of last year's "Game of Bones" Gala event when funds raised were directly allocated for the big Homing Centre and the much-needed renovations. The site manager, May, has also been busy with sourcing this and that, and I'm excited about the impending arrival of samples which are coming to Lamma for me (and the dogs) to test. Watch this space for photos when everything is in place.
