Thurs 24th May: More new arrivals due

The one alone in the corner is healthy
I picked up the five baby pups who were found in the rubbish from AFCD today, but not only were they stick thin but also very sick with tick fever.  On top of that they have demodex, mites under the skin, which at least isn't infectious but it doesn't help.  Strangely one of the puppies was healthy, both in terms of red cell count and also skin, so this one is an indication of how the others should look once better.  It was lucky in a way that we didn't have any foster homes lined up for the litter as they will have to go back to Acorn on Friday to see how they are responding to treatment, but the lucky exception could be adopted at any time.  They are staying at our Ap Lei Chau Homing Centre at the moment, and I'm hoping they will recover quickly, from the tick fever at least.  Demodex takes some time to eradicate.

Emmy is sweet, playful and very affectionate
After having just recently taken in some dogs from AFCD in Sheung Shui, including the funny and very sweet bulldog Emmy and gorgeous Fuzzy, we will be getting another group on Friday, this time two Shelties, two Yorkies - all girls, and probably ex-breeder dogs - and another mixed breed, also a female.

If you are interested in adopting any of these dogs PLEASE complete the adoption questionnaire on our website www.hongkongdogrescue.com (under Adopt) before asking for details and meetings.
