The second group of puppies arrived as expected, and they're now all checked, vaccinated, and either in foster care or waiting for offers. They seem to be the same age as the other six pups we took from AFCD, so even though they're not siblings I also gave them "B" names to remind myself that they are a similar group. As always all puppies are available for adoption at any time, although for the younger ones (under eight weeks of age) they will need to have another puppy on a foster basis as a playmate and sleeping companion until they're old enough to cope on their own. Please contact Cindy, our volunteer Foster Coordinator, if you're interested in fostering or adopting a puppy that's already in a foster home. Her email address is foster@hongkongdogrescue.com.
A lot of people are asking if we're open over the Christmas weekend, and yes, as always we're open every single day of the year because the dogs have to be taken care of regardless of holidays. If you're looking for a dog or puppy to adopt please start by completing the adoption questionnaire and waiting for a reply before coming to meet any of them. If you have submitted the form and haven't had a reply, please check your Spam. The questionnaire is at www.hongkongdogrescue.com/adopt/adoption-questionnaire/
Talking of Christmas, if you would like to give a gift to the dogs we're especially happy to accept food (preferably canned as an addition to the basic dry kibble) and good quality treats, meaning dried meat rather than the strangely scented and rubbery stuff many pet shops sell.
If you're looking for gifts for human friends, we have a big selection of T-shirts and other branded merchandise at our Ap Lei Chau Homing Centre, as well as a huge box of dog toys for sale (dogs need presents too!). You can also still pick up some wine, even if there are only a few boxes left, and don't forget the original Chinese paintings which make unique gifts, especially for friends and family in other countries. You need to ask for these as we keep them safely in the office and away from the dogs and puppies.
