Fri 25th Feb: Almost at the end of an era

 We moved into Ap Lei Chau in 2011 and I still have the photos of the opening, including the Lion Dance, if I only knew where to find them.  That first Homing Centre at 21 Main Street is now where the Red Dog Centre is located, and we will keep those premises for the time being and use it as a mailing address, as well as a place for the "Red" dogs and other little ones who currently have nowhere else to stay.   The building is also due to be demolished to make way for a new highrise, and soon there will be nothing left of the old Ap Lei Chau. 

As for the Homing Centre at 5 Wai Fung Street, it's all but closed now as the office and all the furniture was sent temporarily to Elgin Street in Soho today (and thank goodness we were lucky enough to have that option), while Phaedra the cocker spaniel moved to Lamma, and the remaining dogs are now staying at the Red Dog Centre.  Please don't come to drop off any donations as we can only accept items at our Tai Po Homing Centre at present. 

We URGENTLY need a home for Goji

Once again I have to ask if anyone can offer a home to shiba inu Goji, as he will find it extremely hard to cope with the situation at the Red Dog Centre.  He doesn't get along with other dogs so it will mean he has to be confined, and for a shiba inu this is a fate worse than death.  Goji is a young dog and he's fine with people, but you could say his attitude towards other dogs is quite typical of the breed and not unusual.  If there's anyone who can give him the chance to have a meaningful life, obviously without other dogs in the home and also no children, please get in touch.  Start by completing the adoption questionnaire at www.hongkongdogrescue.com/adopt/adoption-questionnaire/ before arranging to meet him.

Sweet Bambi is adopted

I'm happy to be able to report on one adoption, that of senior dog Bambi from Tai Po.  Thenk you to his new family for giving this sweet little dog a home after all these years of waiting.

Lucy and Lorna can be met any day at WNP

I hope I'll also be able to talk about more puppy adoptions after the weekend, but please note that we won't be holding the Sunday puppy party at Whiskers N Paws, although can can meet resident puppy sisters Lucy and Lorna if you happen to turn up anyway. 

We also have many older puppies, that's five months and over, now staying at our Tai Po Homing Centre, also open every day from 10am to 6pm.  Please complete the adoption questionnaire and make an appointment before coming to visit.
