Sun 12th Aug: A big surprise at Whiskers N Paws

I never had a chance to meet this adorable pair of rascals

The two Frenchie-poodles left Ap Lei Chau before I had even had a chance to see them, and it was the fact that they adore children that really clinched the deal.  We knew that there had been young children in the previous home, and apparently the two dogs were so happy and excited to meet the potential adopter's daughter that they were all over her.  We're always careful about homing dogs we don't know with young children but in this case it seems that it's what the dogs wanted most of all.

As always there are always replacements for dogs that leave the Homing Centres, and we took in a shih tzu of unknown age (no microchip) today, and on Monday we are expecting a further six poodles from a closing-down pet shop.  I have no details and so don't know if this is another one of those cases like the supposed ex-breeder dogs who all turned out to be about fourteen years old, or if these poodles will be reasonably young.  We'll just have to wait and see what turns up.

This poor boy had been badly neglected by his previous owner

Bounty had her adoption confirmed after a short foster period

Despite the rain it was a very busy afternoon at Whiskers N Paws, although by the end of the session only Bounty had been officially adopted but quite a few puppies had been taken for fostering, or moved to new foster homes.  Tiny Misty, Bounty's sister, left her full-time post at Whiskers N Paws to move to a foster home, so that meant a vacancy at the store.  Asher was the lucky boy who will now become Jill's friend until either or both are given their chance of a real home.

Jill's brother Jack found himself a lovely foster home while sisters Rum and Raisin, who were due to come back from their foster home, were were lucky enough to find new temporary homes to go to rather than being returned to our Ap Lei Chau Homing Centre.  They are both super-sweet girls with lovely temperaments, just like Amy who was also taken for fostering.

Candy's trial adoption was today's big surprise

The biggest surprise of the afternoon was that adult Candy was chosen for a trial adoption.  Candy was adopted as a baby pup and then later returned, and as volunteer Cammy had her lookalike sister she offered to foster.  Candy came along today more for a day out than anything else, but it turned out to be much more than that when she left with her potential new family.

Eric Tang was today's puppy photographer, and as a regular volunteer at Whiskers N Paws he really knows how to get the best shots.  Here's the link to the full set:  Puppy Adoption Day 12 August 2018

Some of the puppies who did have to go back to our Homing Centre are really lovely too, and I know all adopters struggle to choose which one they will take.  It doesn't mean any of the pups are nicer or better, they are just luckier.  You can meet our Homing Centre puppies any day of the week, or again at Whiskers N Paws next Sunday afternoon.
