Sun 18th Feb: No puppy day this Sunday

Puppy Adoption Day 11 February 2018

It was strange not to be getting ready to take puppies over to Whiskers N Paws on a Sunday, and I hope the message reached all would-be adopters that the store would be closed for the Lunar New Year holiday but in case you can't wait until next weekend you can always meet the puppies in their foster homes, just ask.  The available puppies can be seen on our Hong Kong Dog Rescue Facebook page under Photos - Albums (click on the above photo).

 In fact you won't have to wait a full week to see a good selection of puppies-in-waiting, as we will be starting our Saturday puppy afternoons this coming weekend at Heal, 10 Second Street, Sai Ying Pun.  The fact that Heal is situated right next to Polygon coffee shop and down the road from Acorn Vet Hospital are just two good reasons for heading over to take a look next Saturday, 1pm to 4pm, but if you can't make it we'll be at Whiskers N Paws as usual, 2pm to 5pm every Sunday.

Today's lucky dog Sheeba

Sheeba was the only lucky dog today, and she'll be leaving Tai Po on Tuesday after having had her adoption paperwork completed and signed.  I am getting a lot of adoption enquiries but mainly for small-sized and young dogs or puppies, something that we don't often have.  Small dogs in particular usually live a long time, so even if a dog is already three or four years old there will still be many active years ahead to enjoy.  In fact even the average-sized large dog should still be fully active at ten years, barring accidents, as it's only the giant-sized whose lifespan is considerably shorter.
