Tues 20th Feb: Lots of activity ahead

Noddy is 7 years old and seems in good health

We had a surprise surrender at Ap Lei Chau today, a seven year-old Yorkshire terrier boy who is now called Noddy.  He'll need to have a vet check but seems healthy enough, so if anyone is interested in this popular breed please complete the Adoption Questionnaire on our website www.hongkongdogrescue.com (under Adopt).

We still have many small dogs waiting for homes, either at the Homing Centre or in foster, so please ask if you are looking for a little addition to your home.   There's chihuahua Turbo, for example, who was already desexed according to the person who brought him to us, but in fact he had both testicles still inside him.  It was this problem that caused his hair loss (he's almost bald), so now that he's had surgery to remove them we hope to see a full coat growing back before too long.

5 year-old Turbo needs a coat at the moment

I almost forgot to mention that Miss Piggy, now Accha, who came to us as a hugely obese miniature pinscher before slimming down dramatically on a properly controlled diet, had her trial adoption confirmed too.  Like Turbo, who has also had a complete health makeover, Miss Piggy's life has been transformed in more ways than one.  What a fantastic feeling it must be for her to be able to run around like any normal dog and not be carrying the weight of so much fat around.

Meanwhile, over at Tai Po, lucky Sheba was saying her goodbyes to all of her friends before driving off to start a new life.  Nothing makes me (us all) happier than to see one of our dogs being chosen to become a family member, especially if they have waited a long time like Sheba has. 

Have wonderful life Sheeba!

There was a puppy adoption pre-arranged for the weekend too, so Aden will be leaving from Whiskers N Paws on Sunday, while her siblings Stan and Emu should also be moving on to a new foster home.

Just in, a poodle puppy of around six months will be coming to us on Friday.  As always, please complete the Adoption questionnaire as a first step and before asking any further questions, which at this point we can answer anyway.  All we have been told is that the puppy was bought at a pet shop and now unwanted.

This poodle puppy isn't with us yet but will come on Friday

This litter look so alike it's impossible to identify Stan, Aden, Emu and Herbert
