Weds 22nd Nov: Update on Amber

When one tennis ball isn't enough
It's time I wrote an update on Amber, the golden retriever who was surrendered to AFCD with lymphoma, and thanks to the generosity of sponsors was able to be given expensive chemotherapy.  Photos sent from her foster home show that she's loving life and having the best time with the resident golden retriever, and while this treatment isn't a cure it will give Amber a reprieve for an unknown length of time, hopefully considerable.
Playtime!


I was contacted today by someone who has an ex-HKDR dog, adopted a long time ago, and who is getting ready to move to Australia - with the dog of course. Unfortunately there seems to be a last-minute hitch so I was trying to help, but for anyone who has a dog here and who might be moving to Australia it's good to be fully informed and prepared in advance.  Here's the link that tells you everything that's required, and you can check for similar online information for countries like New Zealand that also have rigid rules about importing animals.  http://www.agriculture.gov.au/cats-dogs/step-by-step-guides/category-3-step-by-step-guide-for-dogs 
In comparison the UK is easy, and the rest of Europe, the USA and Canada a piece of cake so there should never be a reason or excuse for not taking your dog(s) with you when you leave.

I hope everyone is enjoying the cool weather and taking advantage of it by going for long walks with your dogs.  For registered volunteers don't forget that you can take any of our HKDR dogs out for hikes or fun by completing the Hiking Form, and the Tai Po dogs especially love spending the day away from the Homing Centre.  I know my Lamma dogs are full of energy these days and are really enjoying the change in temperature, and even my barometer dog  Safari, who refuses to leave the house if it's too warm, has been up and raring to go every morning recently.
