Weds 30th Aug: Whiskers N Paws this Sunday regardless

We will be there!

Before I forget, we will be at Whiskers N Paws this Sunday afternoon come what may, even if I have to swim across the Lamma Channel with a crate of puppies on my head.  OK, I exaggerate, but one way or another the puppies will be there and we will be indoors in case of rain (which is apparently forecast).  I have so many youngsters again, and they are all such lovely little characters; happy, sweet and friendly.

Benji is still a small-sized boy

One older puppy who has been kept off the radar for various reasons is Benji, currently staying at our Ap Lei Chau Homing Centre.   He came to us from AFCD a few months ago along with three other puppies, all quickly adopted.  There was always something a bit different about Benji though, an odd way about the way he looked at you, and the fact that he didn't seem to be "all there".  It turned out he had tick fever which didn't help, but now that's been treated and he's healthy in the physical sense, he does seem to be a Special Needs boy.  He's very cute, smaller sized, sweet and loving and easy to care for, but he still tends to walk in circles and isn't the smartest kid in school.  Whatever his shortcomings he needs a home, and one who can enjoy his differences rather than see them as a problem. He's probably not suitable for a home with children because he can get a bit excited when playing and doesn't understand he's being too "full on", but he loves other dogs and is happy to cuddle too.  If you think you could offer Benji a home, please complete the Adoption Questionnaire on our website www.hongkongdogrescue.com, or come and meet him at our Ap Lei Chau Homing Centre, 21 Main Street, any day between 10am and 6pm.

It's just over a week away!!!

It's almost September and the Autumn season, and our fundraising "Diamond Dogs" Gala Dinner is just over a week away.   Volunteer organiser Jamie is away this week, and although she promised that she would be taking her laptop and be able to keep up with everything, I have a feeling the place she is staying is out of reach.  If you have emailed or tried unsuccessfully to make a booking, don't worry, all will be dealt with in time.  You can also contact rachel@hongkongdogrescue.com as a back-up, or even myself.  Things don't always go according to plan as I found out when I ordered my outfit for the evening and was sent the wrong item, leaving me without any time to find an appropriate replacement, but I'll dig something out I'm sure.

We are still in need of some more volunteers for the evening, so if you are over 18 and would like to help out, please let Rachel know.
