Sat 16th July: Heading for a hot Sunday

Callie leaving to start her new life 

 There's only one thing better than opening the morning emails and messages and finding great adoption enquiries, and that's actually seeing the dogs and puppies leaving to start their new lives.  Today it was little Callie's turn, and referring to the potential adoptions, I'm happy to mention that another small dog staying at HKDR@Elgin will also be heading off, this time with one of the volunteers who have been such an amazing help over the past week. 

These small adults are only a year old

I'd had an idea that we should send the younger of the new small dogs to Whiskers N Paws on Sunday, as they're only a year old so still almost puppies.  However on thinking about it later, and remembering that it's really too hot for the dogs to be outside for two hours on the terrace, I changed my mind and they will all now stay at 22 Elgin Street for the day, with only older puppy Jeremy making the trip to Horizon Plaza.   

Jeremy will go to WNP on Sunday

I should mention again that while we have a lot of puppies staying at our Kennedy Town Homing Centre, as well as some small adults, we're still treating it as a quarantine area until the current respiratory infection has completely passed.  Thankfully everyone is starting to recover, and even those puppies who needed to spend time in hospital have left to go to foster homes.  Puppies who came to HKDR@Elgin on Wednesday (left) were also sent straight to foster homes, via ALCVC where they were checked and vaccinated, and they are also available for adoption.  Unfortunately I only have the initial identification photos to show, and they're not the best.  All I can say is that most of the puppies will not be large adults, and even small-medium when fully grown.   Some have long bodies with short legs, similar to the adults they came with, so we can assume they're related somehow and will grow to be the same kind of shape and size.

If you want to meet any of these puppies in their foster homes, or indeed any of the older puppies still waiting for their forever home, please start by completing the adoption questionnaire at www.hongkongdogrescue.com/adopt/adoption-questionnaire/
