Mon 26th Nov: Happy senior adoptions

Grateful thanks to our amazing Peak to Fong 2018 volunteers
The photos for Peak to Fong are up if you would like to take a look and see if you can spot yourself and your dog(s), assuming you were there of course!

There are two albums so far of the Peak gathering  Peak to Fong 2018 - Gathering on the Peak Part 1., and more to come of the walk itself and the party at Lan Kwai Fong, dampened though it was by the rain unfortunately.  That's always the problem with the weather, it's not to be trusted at any time of the year.  Peak to Fong 2018 - Gathering on the Peak Part 2.

A younger Magoo
While I'm on the subject of events, you will recall our Gala Dinner "Sarge'n'Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club" which took place in October.  We had nominated two dogs to represent Sarge and Pepper, close friends Magoo and Norma respectively.  Sadly Norma died recently, something we weren't really expecting, and just a few days later Magoo also left Tai Po but in his case it was for a trial adoption.  It seems Norma was looking out for her dear friend and sending him good luck.


At last Tomlin finds his home and we're all so happy
Another long-termer also got his chance after many years of waiting, this time Tomlin.  He has been with us since our Pokfulam days so it was really time for him to have a chance of a family life.

Beautiful Marina
Marina, a nine year-old German shepherd, was also taken for a trial adoption and we are always so happy to wave goodbye to our senior dogs.  With the current dampness and rain as well as the dropping temperatures, they need soft beds and a warm home more than any of them.

The lucky family who got to take Kiddo home

With a complete contrast in size, we had a lot of interest in the five month-old chihuahua puppy I called Kiddo, and he left the Homing Centre today with his new family.  You may recall that he'd been surrendered to us because of his "stubborn" refusal to accept cage training, and the funny thing is he's been happily using a toilet tray while with us at Ap Lei Chau.

We use newspaper for the toilet areas at both Homing Centres as it's free as well as being far more environmentally friendly than the pee pads.  We always need a good supply as we're often running short, like now, so please keep sending us your old newspapers.  Thank you!
