Mon 1st Aug: The office has moved to North Street

 There was a virtual stampede of applications to adopt the Australian shepherd puppy Harvey, after his photo and details were posted on our Facebook and Instagram pages, and the lucky family rushed straight over to take him home.  As I had to point out to one very unhappy potential adopter who missed out, unfortunately there is only one of each dog, so even if there are a lot of very good homes offered there's still only one that will get that particular dog.  However there are also many other equally deserving dogs and puppies, and I really hope that at least some of those very nice potential homes asking for Harvey will choose another instead.

Maybe it will be akita inu Gambit, or the two brothers George and Gregory that came with him and who are also just medium sized.

  Or maybe it will be one of the "Ears Litter", also gorgeous puppies. 

Snoop

We also have four year-old pug Snoop, a sweet and funny boy who's staying at our Red Dog Centre in Ap Lei Chau, our last foothold in that area.

Once again I want to mention the literally hundreds of hopefuls staying at our big Tai Po Homing Centre, and the now-older puppies in foster homes who have yet to be chosen.

North Street is still waiting for the signage outside

Apart from the dogs it was a big day for the human staff at Kennedy Town, as the office was finally moved from the temporary space at HKDR@Elgin to 13-19 North Street.  The renovation took a few months as the space will also serve as a quarantine area for new or sick dogs and puppies, as well as potentially a new Red Dog Centre, although at the rate the newcomers are arriving I suspect we'll be staying at Ap Lei Chau for a while yet.  Please make a note of the official address of the new Headquarters, as this will be our mailing address and drop-off point for donations. It's HKDR, Shop 4, G/F, Cheong Yue Mansion, 13-19 North Street, Kennedy Town, Hong Kong.  

The HKDR@Elgin space will now be used for its original purpose, which is as a shop and a training centre for dogs and their humans.  Apart from the well-established Positive Partners training course, we will also be hosting a variety of workshops and puppy socialisation classes, details of which will be shared very soon. We also welcomed new staff member Cam to the HKDR Family, and I'm sure she'll be kept busy over the coming days sorting everything out and setting up the store properly.  Please drop by to see what's there and to say hello.
