The first thing I need to mention is that we have temporarily postponed the puppy parties at Whiskers N Paws on Sunday afternoons, although residents Willow and Lorna will still be there if you miss our announcements and go along anyway. We'll be sharing photos and information about the puppies in foster homes who would normally be taking part in the mini-event on the terrace, and all of these hopefuls can be met in their temporary locations by arrangement with Cindy at foster@hongkongdogrescue.com.

| One of the "K-Pups" on Sunday |
I've also just received a message about yet another litter of newborns that the regular rescuer of such puppies found in the middle of the night. The mother and one pup were dead, so the remaining five pups were taken home to be cared for until other foster homes can take over. Please let Cindy know if you can help, same email as above, and please note that all such newborns must be fostered in pairs or threesomes. We will provide everything that you need in terms of milk, bottles, bedding etc, and we only ask for your time and a space in your home.
As all of these puppies come from one area of the New Territories it's almost certain that they are closely related to other litters that have been rescued over the years. I know that the six puppies that were taken in by one amazing foster home (Instagram@typhoon_k_puppies) are definitely the same family as "The Edibles" litter, so called because they were all given food names. There are four of the "K-Pups" still available. with two lucky ones having already found homes.

| Wilson's sweet smile |
The white puppy in this new litter may well end up looking like Puddle (called Loki by his foster parent), and Wilson, who recently moved to Tai Po. In fact there have been many identical white-with-pink-nose puppies that have come before and are now happy family members, and without fail they have all been sweet and gentle characters. So I'm extremely pleased to announce that Wilson was chosen to go home today, meaning Puddle moves up the chain, while this new baby starts at the bottom. The Circle of Life never ends.

| Mr Big will come to us on Monday |
I recently mentioned that we would be taking in four dogs that were going to need new homes due to the financial difficulties of their current owners, and as I asked that the licenses of all of the dogs were updated before they were brought to us, for now only the Alaskan Malamute Mr Big is coming initially. He's apparently a very sweet dog, good with people and other dogs, and I would really like to have a new home waiting if at all possible. Please only apply to adopt if you can accommodate a giant sized dog, and provide full time air conditioning during the hot summer months.
If you're looking for any dog or puppy to adopt, please start by completing the adoption questionnaire at www.hongkongdogrescue.com/adopt/adoption-questionnaire/
After I shared some information about a charter flight to the UK that had places available for dogs unable to be flown on commercial airlines, I was inundated with enquiries which I forwarded to the organiser. I believe there has been a delay to the original planned leaving date in April, but that a smaller (and more expensive alternative) might be possible. Please don't ask me for details as I was just sharing the basic information so I could try to help those attempting to leave Hong Kong along with their dogs. There are charter companies offering such services and you can see their names in this syndicated article which was forwarded to me https://archive.md/ChkDR. It's good to know that many people will try everything possible to get their four-legged family members to wherever they're moving to, and I hope everyone succeeds in doing so.
