| Nice change from a life in a cage for Spangle |
Ryan Kam's beautiful set of photos from Sunday's puppy afternoon arrived just too late for me to include in yesterday's post so here they are. You can meet many of these little ones at our Ap Lei Chau Homing Centre any day of the week, or next Sunday at Whiskers N Paws, 2pm to 5pm.
I had no idea at the start of the day when I sat at my computer that we would end up taking in a whole bunch of new dogs and puppies, and it was only when reading my emails that I saw that the breeder who had passed on the shorgi and the springer spaniel (both doing really well in their new homes) was now giving up more. I was told it was several poodles and some mixed breed puppies, who were apparently due to be sold for meat. Of course I said yes to all even without knowing numbers, and then not much later got another message to say the dogs were on their way. (It's not the breeder who is responsible for getting the dogs out, by the way, rather a concerned neighbour and another go- between).

The group of dogs arrived as I was on my way over to Ap Lei Chau and I was able to take them straight to AFCD, and then on to Acorn. There were five poodles, two of which were mid-mating and locked together, three very large and beautiful puppies and four "meat" youngsters (with ringworm). Only one of the poodles was already licensed (expired of course) so I had all of the others registered as mine and allocated them ages (two years up). The larger puppies still have tiny baby teeth so they are going to be really big adults, but they are so lovely both in looks and character. They are now at Tai Po and will be available immediately for adoption.

It was also finally time to take out the chubby baby pup who was born at AFCD on 7th December, the only survivor after the mother gave birth shortly after being caught by the dog catchers. Of course he got all the milk so he's a very healthy boy, now called Seven, and I left him at the Ap Lei Chau Homing Centre with the sharpei-cross litter so he could learn about playing with other puppies.

All but one of the poodles has heartworm and they all have ear mites, but they are otherwise externally healthy and will be desexed immediately. At least they all seem to be friendly, although I very much doubt they are toilet trained or have any knowledge of what a family home is.
As always, for foster enquiries contact Cindy at foster@hongkongdogrescue.com and for adoption please complete the Adoption Questionnaire at www.hongkongdogrescue.com (under Adopt).
On Tuesday we will be welcoming a lovely corgi girl who is being surrendered due to Pulic Housing No Dogs policy. We hope she will quickly find a new family who love her as much as her current one does.
