Fri 22nd July: Hoping for a busy weekend

Halo at Kennedy Town 

 Now that we're able to open up again at our Kennedy Town Homing Centre following a temporary semi-closure due to an infectious cough, I can remind everyone that we do have quite a few small dogs staying there,  in addition to those at HKDR@Elgin.  We have had a great response to the lovely photos (taken by volunteer Tap Momentale) of the Elgin Street dogs posted on our social media pages, and we're expecting a lot of visitors over the weekend coming to meet them (and hopefully to take them home), so it's time to give the Kennedy Town dogs some promotion.

As always, if you would like to meet any of these dogs with a view to adopting, please start by completing the questionnaire at www.hongkongdogrescue.com/adopt/adoption-questionnaire/, and this applies to all dogs and puppies wherever they're located.

I do also want to give yet another mention to the (so) many dogs at our Tai Po Homing Centre, all of whom are also desperate for a home and family.  I can assume that pretty much all of these dogs were originally taken in as puppies, and subsequently discarded once they grew too big and too time-and-space consuming to be wanted.

This is why we ask that all potential adopters consider the long-term implications of adopting, especially a puppy, because it's a commitment that can last for fifteen years or so, and even longer for the smaller dogs.  A dog's life should never be thought of as something for now, or something for the children while they're young.  In fact a dog is never a something, a dog is a sentient, intelligent animal with emotions and feelings, and that must never be underestimated.
