Mon 18th Feb: Lots of little puppies

The puppies are eager to get out of their quarantine space now

If you look at the photos of the weekend's puppy adoption days you might think that we have no young puppies available other than Chipper, but we have a lot of little ones who have been quarantined since before the recent outbreak of parvovirus, and subsequently after surviving.  They are all healthy now with lots of energy, and are going to have their first vaccinations this week as they were too young when we first took them in.   There are two litters here but they all think of themselves as one big family, and they can be adopted any time but preferably still in pairs.

We also still have a couple of the "Kitten Litter" available, so called because they were so small they looked more like kittens than puppies when they arrived.  They are still much smaller than the average mixed breed and we expect them to remain that way as adults, although we can't ever really know the final size of a baby pup.

Our Flag Day is coming up soon (6th April), and we're currently recruiting volunteers to help out.  This is an opportunity for the many under-18's that are keen to do something but are too young to join as a dog walker, and it's an important fundraising event for HKDR.


HKDR Flag Day volunteer recruitment ongoing! 📣

#hkdrDimple and #hkdrBlake are so excited seeing the newly released flags🤩 Please sign up and join us as Flag Day volunteers now! Your dogs are welcome to participate in this important day too, and this is also a good chance for the children to learn and physically do something for our dogs💪🏻

Malamute Zara has been a regular at Whiskers N Paws puppy afternoons

I almost forgot to mention a big adoption, and by that I mean a big dog, namely Zara.  After a run of bad luck with failed adoptions, neither of which had anything to do with Zara herself or her behaviour, she will now be staying with her foster family where she's been living anyway for the past couple of months.   By now Zara's so settled and happy that she's long assumed that this is where she belongs, and she's right!
