Weds 26th Sept: Gala Volunteers needed please!

Meg won't be coming back to Tai Po!

Another happy Typhoon Foster dog won't be coming back, and this time the connection goes back a long way as Meg's now-adopter has known Nutmeg (as she was orginially called) since she was a baby puppy at our then Pokfulam Kennels.  At that time the adopter was a volunteer, and she has kept in touch with Meg over the years but has only now been able to commit to keeping her, so better late than never.

If you are followers of our HKDR Facebook page you may have seen a wonderful video of three of our current Ap Lei Chau dogs playing in the dog park (https://www.facebook.com/hkdogrescue/videos/565418483914156/), and apparently they continued for hours after getting back to the upstairs office/dog area.

Tracker the beagle was adopted but returned for being too active, Jewel the chow chow is still waiting for her chance of a home, as is Cello the medium-sized mixed breed and the only one of her large litter who wasn't chosen as a young puppy.  I've watched this video many times myself, because there's nothing better than seeing dogs behaving and playing freely and naturally and without any human intervention. As much as dogs and humans have an undeniable bond, it's not the same as dogs have with each other.  After all, how many humans can play and wrestle for hours on end, never getting bored or tired?  These three dogs are around the same age of a year old so their energy levels match, and it underlines the fact that two dogs are better than one, and that having a pair that can play together takes a lot of the pressure off the humans having to provide enough exercise to keep a dog happy.

Volunteers needed please!

Preparations for the "Sarge'n'Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club" Gala Fundraiser are pretty much complete now, and as I mentioned yesterday we have an amazing event lined up for our guests.   Now we are recruiting volunteers for the evening, which will include helping with the set up during the day as well as the actual event.  If you are over eighteen and would like to volunteer, either as an individual or as a group, please contact Nicole at nicole@hongkongdogrescue.com. 
The date is Saturday 13th October and the venue is the Aberdeen Marina Club.
