Sun 28th Jan: Three Happy Puppies

Seven born on 7th Dec 2017 and today was his next big day

I never know what to expect in terms of adoptions on Sundays, but we had three puppies chosen within thirty minutes of everyone arriving and it was a race to see whose name would be chalked up on the adoption board first (and thanks to volunteer/adopter Vicki Cheng for painting a new-look board, which was the reason it wasn't available last Sunday).  The next adoption didn't take place until right at the end of the afternoon when it was baby Stan who was chosen, but he will be picked up from the Ap Lei Chau Homing Centre on Monday.

Like Seven, this was Ludo's first Whiskers N Paws afternoon

When I'm asked about the personality of very young puppies I really don't know for sure, as it's only when the pups are around four months that you can really have an idea of what their personality is.  This is the reason I recommend slightly older puppies when there are young children in the home, because it's obviously important.  Today there was a perfect example of what I'm saying when siblings Cello and Ollie, who are in separate foster homes, made themselves known as they confidently said hello to everyone on the terrace.  They also have two fluffier brothers, Ted and Paddington out of an original litter of eight which included Beatrice and Eugenie.

Paddington has 3 siblings still waiting for adoption: Ted, Ollie and Cello

In lieu of an official photo, this is Elke in her foster home

Four-and-a-bit months-old Elke is a another good example, as she is a really wonderful puppy who has taken to being in a foster home like a duck to water. Cuddles in bed and playtimes with the other dogs have come naturally to her after spending her early months on Lamma, and you won't find an easier character.  Unfortunately she missed being photographed today, which happens when there are so many babies to divert attention.

Volunteer photographer for the afternoon was Helen Kwok, and here is her lovely set Hong Kong Dog Rescue (HKDR) added 117 new photos to the album Puppy Adoption Day 28 January 2018 — at Whiskers N Paws

Thank you Izzy and mom for raising money for HKDR

Our Junior Donor today was Izzy, who had made good use of a broken arm and a cast that needed to be signed for the price of a donation to HKDR.  Good work Izzy, and to her mom who matched every donation made.  Thank you!
