Although Wednesday is my usual day off, thanks to the typhoon-that-wasn't I switched with Tuesday for this week and went over to the Ap Lei Chau Homing Centre today, and then on to a meeting about the Sarge'n'Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Gala. This event is really shaping up to be an amazing one, and ticket sales are already going well so please contact Nicole at nicole@hongkongdogrescue.com if you would like to buy seats or a table.

| The pom puppy is available for adoption, minus a leg |
The poor pom puppy whose leg was butchered before he was handed over to us had surgery today, and as expected the situation was too bad to be fixable and amputation was necessary. Although that seems drastic, in fact recovery will be very fast now that the problem has been removed and the puppy can go home in a few days. We have had a few offers of a foster but now that the leg is no longer there we're looking for a forever home. Three-legged dogs are just as capable and active as four-legged ones, especially if it's the back leg that's missing and the dog is small sized, so anyone who would like to adopt a three month-old pomeranian puppy boy, please complete the Adoption Questionnaire on our website www.hongkongdogrescue.com (under Adopt).

| These are the 6 ex-grooming poodles, aged 2 to 5 |
We have other new dogs as well, a three year-old Yorkie girl, a five year-old Japanese spitz and another poodle, also estimated to be around five years old. As a reminder, anyone interested in adoption is requested to complete the questionnaire as a first step, whether you are looking for a puppy, small or large dog, young or senior. We don't hold or reserve dogs, but as new ones arrive on a regular basis there is almost always going to be someone to suit unless you are one of the too-many who think we keep a stock of small breed puppies hidden away in a store room somewhere. The small-sized puppies we get - and currently have - are often less than perfect, just like the now three-legged pom, or the wobbly baby poodle boy and the blind Maltese girl.

| 5 year-old Japanese spitz |
Talking of which, when these puppies first arrived it seemed that the Maltese was in better overall health, other than her eyesight, but it's the wobbly poodle Toto who is actually eating and playing like a normal puppy. He can't walk properly and more than likely that is permanent, but he isn't bothered by that and we're keeping our fingers crossed that his condition will at least stabilise as he grows.
