Fri 20th March: Temporary change on Sundays

Puppies are available every single day
Nobody is escaping the current control measures in place to protect against the potential spread of the COVID-19 virus, and although our Homing Centres remain open as usual the Sunday puppy parties at Whiskers N Paws have temporarily been suspended.
However, there are puppies staying at our Ap Lei Chau Homing Centre which can be seen any day of the week, and on Sunday our foster parents will be bringing their puppies to Ap Lei Chau to meet any potential adopters.

Due to the much smaller available space we do have to ask that only those who are genuinely interested in potentially adopting come on Sunday, and that means we can't accommodate the children who usually turn up just to play with and cuddle the puppies.

"Please note that our weekly Puppy Adoption Afternoon will be temporarily held at HKDR Ap Lei Chau Homing Centre (instead of our usual venue Whiskers N Paws) this and every Sunday until further notice.
Please also note that due to the smaller space available only those who are actually looking to adopt will be invited to see the puppies, as we can't accommodate parents with children who only want to play and cuddle the pups.
Come meet our gorgeous puppies of all ages at Ap Lei Chau Homing Centre from 2pm to 5pm this Sunday!
Address: G/F, 5 Wai Fung Street, Ap Lei Chau
We respectfully request that anyone who has recently returned to Hong Kong from overseas abides by the 2 week home quarantine rule and does not visit until that time is over."

5 gorgeous puppies arrived today
In fact we took in five new and gorgeous young puppies today from AFCD, so there are plenty needing foster homes as well as forever families.  This is one of the upsides of the coronavirus situation as so many people are staying home and have time to look after a puppy temporarily.  Our volunteer Foster Coordinator, Cindy, has been busier than ever dealing with applications to foster, and you can email her at foster@hongkongdogrescue.com if you're also interested.

Please remember once again that we are open every single day so you don't have to wait until Sundays to visit, and that includes both the Ap Lei Chau and Tai Po Homing Centres.
Our dogs need feeding, cleaning and walking regardless of whatever else is happening, but most of all they need homes.

For puppies or adults we ask that you complete the adoption questionnaire in advance of any visit, and you can find it at www.hongkongdogrescue.com/adopt/adoption-questionnaire/

Thank you all for your owngoing support during these challenging weeks and months, and I'm looking forward to being able to shake your hands again when it's all over.   I'll be there on Sunday from 2pm to 5pm to help with the puppy adoptions, so I hope to see you then.
