Fri 30th Aug: You have one day left

Earlybird offer ends on 1st September

You have one day left to buy Earlybird tickets for this year's big fundraising party "Bohemian Pupsody" (an Evening with Teddie Mercury) as the special offer ends with the last day of August, although of course the event itself takes place on Saturday 21st September.  As I've mentioned a couple of times, this fundraiser is going to be especially important to us as Peak to Fong, at least in its traditional form, won't be happening this year so we need to make up for lost income by ensuring "BoPup" is a massive success.  Get your friends together to make up a table and come to support and have a great time.  Visit our website www.hongkongdogrescue.com/event/charityparty/sponsors for details and ticket enquiries.

Holly has a lookalike sister now

As arranged, two lucky Tai Po dogs went to their respective new homes today.  Holly now has a lookalike sister to play with, while Oscar will also have an ex-HKDR sister as part of his family.  We're always extra happy when adopters come back for a second dog as there's nothing better than two four-legged friends enjoying each other's company.  It also take the pressure off the humans to provide full-time entertainment for a single dog, and means there will always be someone else at home if the two-legs need to go out.

Dini is incredibly cute

I was back at Acorn today with two small dogs, one a little black poodle called Sparky who came to us covered with mange (scabies) and very thin.  He's recovering well so he should be ready to go to a home in a couple of weeks.

The other dog was Dini, full name Houdini after his initial disappearing act when he first arrived.  His is a strange case which was initially assumed to be tick fever but turned out not to be, so he had a scan today to rule out anything suspicious internally.  There was nothing seen, and I suspect the problem is just that Dini's appetite is poor and he may just be sad at having lost whatever he had in his previous life (we don't know what that was).  He's a young boy, a gorgeous terrier no more than a year old, so we can just wait and hope that his spirits perk up soon.

I'll be at Whiskers N Paws with loads of puppies on Sunday, so if that's what you're looking for please come along.  We don't post the younger pups on our website because they grow and change so quickly, but there's always plenty available.

Please remember to complete the Adoption Questionnaire on our website www.hongkongdogrescue.com (under Adopt) if you're interested in any size or age of dog so we can suggest those most suitable.
