| Willy and Cello are always together |
I'm hoping that someone reading this will agree on two things, firstly that a pair of dogs is better and easier than one, and secondly that they want to adopt Cello and Willy, two older puppies who have become the best of friends. Every Sunday afternoon at Whiskers N Paws you can find them together, playing non-stop and having so much fun. They are the same age and size (six months coming up for seven, medium size) and somehow they just click. Both dogs have been in different foster homes until today when Cello was returned to us, and now the need for a home has become more urgent. If you think this lovely pair will fit perfectly in your home, please complete the adoption questionnaire on our website www.hongkongdogrescue.com (under Adopt).

Obviously neither Willy nor Cello were adopted today but others were, and predictably it was the younger ones. Margaux made her debut with brother Wonton, and she was the first lucky baby to go. Gloria was the second one, and she has been staying at our Ap Lei Chau Homing Centre with her siblings and the other dogs and puppies there, so was quite confident running round the terrace even though it was also her first time at Whiskers N Paws.

| Ivory was a different puppy after just a week at WNP |
Anna and Ivory have been guests at Whiskers N Paws since last Sunday, and during the week they have been having training as well as lots of fun and attention. They have obviously loved their time there and it has made such a huge difference, to Ivory especially as she was a timid girl initially. We were really quite amazed to see how happy and confident Ivory had become in such a short time, and it resulted in her being taken to a real home for fostering. Her place has now been taken by Pebble, who also needs the same kind of confidence boost that Ivory had.

| Quentin shared his birthday via Two Presents |
There were three very welcome donations during the afternoon, with young Quentin Ng sharing his birthday using Two Presents. For many youngsters (and proud parents) a big part of the fun is writing their first giant cheque, and anyone who has been kind enough to share their birthday via Two Presents is more than welcome to come along any Sunday afternoon.

If anyone remembers puppy Laura (I know, there have been so many), her family came to make a very generous cash donation as part of young Ian's birthday. Laura and her dog-brother Bolton, also from HKDR a long time ago, came along too, although Laura just wanted to go home.
The third (huge) donation was from Kellett School, and thank you to all parents and students for choosing HKDR to receive such a fantastic gift.
Thanks also to our new volunteer photographer, Chris Lu, for a really wonderful set of photos, and also to Semirah Darwin for getting them edited and posted so quickly. Our behind-the-scenes volunteers do incredible work which is seldom seen but very much appreciated.

| Judo is a wonderful dog, a perfect family member |
I was also extremely happy to get a photo and message from Tai Po that lovely girl Judo had been adopted. She was surrendered to AFCD by her family as they weren't allowed to have dogs in their building, but she had obviously been loved. Now she has a new family who can enjoy having a ready-made and really sweet dog in their home, and I know Judo won't disappoint.
