Sat 6th Aug: Sizzling Saturday

 I'm not referring to the weather in the sizzling title, more to the number of adoptions that took place today.  This has been building up over the past week or so, with those keen to adopt often waiting to leave quarantine and hoping that the dog they chose was still available, or families coming back a second time to make the final decision.

Almost all of today's dogs left from Kennedy Town, but I'm going to start with a Tai Po dog, Timmy, who is now "brother" to another ex-HKDR boy, Finn.  We had to wait to see if the two dogs would get along, and happily that turned out to be a yes, meaning Timmy's adoption is confirmed.  One lucky dog out of hundreds still waiting for their big day to come.

Moving over to the Hong Kong side, I'll list the lucky dogs for today as follows:  Jenkins (second time lucky), new poodle girl Gaby, adorable terrier Halo, Tobias and newish girl Mustard.

Puppy Joanna's foster parent joined the "Failed Foster Club" today too, but I'll have to wait for that happy adoption photo. 

I can also mention that Mustard's room mate Muddy will be leaving first thing on Sunday, again when her parents-to-be escape from quarantine.  

For those who were hoping to adopt a small-medium dog and missed out on this particular group, we're always expecting to get a message saying there are more on their way, so keep reading my blog for the latest updates.  I can tell you now that we have three ex-breeder shibas coming, maybe as early as Sunday, with two being young females and one a boy puppy (with a missing toe). 

Sunday at Whiskers N Paws will also be introducing some new puppies who are now ready to meet the public.  Jack is the one I have my eye on, as he's a gorgeous big-eared terrier type with a fuzzy face.
