| This was poor Turbo when he first came to us, and I can't wait to see new photos |
It was good timing that little ex-breeder poodle Santa and chihuahua Turbo just had their adoptions confirmed, as we took in four new small dogs and one large one today.
Two of the small dogs are poodles from the same breeder that the previous group came from, and they are also larger than the usual toy size but not as big as a standard. Teegan, who is now Cinder, was one of the earlier poodles from this breeder and they are all very sweet dogs.

Another two new arrivals, from another breeder, were throwaways for different reasons. The poodle, a very small girl, had a broken front leg which was never set so is now floppy, but Dr Tony had a look and said he can fix it. This poor dog is only two years old, and I commented to the vet she really had a "lucky break" (getting away from the breeder).

The other dog from this same place is a six month-old corgi puppy, a boy, who has demodex (mites) causing hair loss, but that's a minor problem which is easily treated. The more serious issue and the reason for him escaping is that he has something wrong with his corneas, which I was told is untreatable. He can still see but not clearly, and the condition could worsen. This is a really sweet puppy though, and I'm sure someone will fall in love and offer him a home.

The dog I took from AFCD was a fishing boat dog, a large boy who looks something like a labrador. He had no license of course, so his age is unknown but it would be around eight years or so. He's a sweet dog who was already playing while waiting for his turn to see the vet, and I have no idea how he ended up being surrendered to AFCD. I hope someone gives him a chance of a new home and life, but with over four hundred dogs at Tai Po it's really a matter of luck.

| Hercules starts his 6-week rest period after treatment for heartworm |
Even our beautiful malamute Hercules is still waiting, and he is a breed, young and incredibly sweet natured. He finished his heartworm treatment today so he has to rest for six weeks, but after that he'll be fine.

| Nancy had surgery on both knees today |
Office dog Nancy, a returned-as-adult puppy, had surgery on both of her knees today after we had failed to find her a foster home to go to for her recovery. It wasn't fair on her to wait any longer so we went ahead, completely trusting Dr Tony's skills and that she'll be fine. Still, if anyone can take in this really lovely girl to make sure she doesn't jump around too much with her best friend Lara, we would really appreciate it. Please email Cindy at foster@hongkongdogrescue.com if you can help, thank you.
As a reminder we have two puppy afternoons this weekend, Saturday 1pm to 4pm at Heal, 10 Second Street, Sai Ying Pun, and as always 2pm to 5pm at Whiskers N Paws on Sunday.
