Fri 29th May: Looking ahead to a wet weekend

As I'm writing this the sky is as black as night and the rain is thrashing down, and I heard from our earlybird Tai Po volunteer that the Big House up there is completely flooded.  I'm sure help will be needed if the weather improves even slightly and volunteers can get up to the Homing Centre.

Coco was picked up from Ap Lei Chau

One more lucky Tai Po dog is tucked up safe and sound in her new home, and that's Coco.  She was picked up from our Ap Lei Chau Homing Centre after being driven over by Ming, and I bet she doesn't even realise what she's missing.

At least the puppies are also staying dry inside the Ap Lei Chau Centre, and thanks to volunteer Harryn once again for the very sweet photos taken today.   You can meet the puppies any day between 10am and 6pm, as well as the Whiskers N Paws current residents Hattie and Harley.

Two puppies left today, one adoption and another a trial with the resident dog. Fizzy was the lucky forever puppy and Byron the other.

Fizzy's there somewhere!

Another long-term volunteer, Eagle, has also been busy taking and sharing photos of The Ap Lei Chau Homing Centre dogs, and here's the three latest additions, ex-TNR dogs Kimmy, Pebble and Dobby.  Of the three only Pebble is relaxed enough to enjoy human petting and attention, but as you can see they're all settling in well.

It seems that the rush of surrenders that many thought would be taking place when the coronavirus first came to town but didn't actually happen is starting now, as we've been getting more-than-usual surrender requests.   One of these is for an ex-HKDR Yorkie, and of course we'll take her back.  I'm not sure of her details because the name has been changed but I'll post as soon as I know more.
