Sun 7th Aug: Hello sunshine!


 I want to start with sharing the photos from today's puppy party at Whiskers N Paws, with thanks once again to Jimmy Tsang for his time and photography skills  Puppy Adoption Day 7th August 2022.  Happily the sun was out for the day and the doggie deckchairs were all set out and ready for their occupants (which made me smile). 
Adorable June was chosen today


This week we had an on-site adoption, and June was the lucky girl going to start her new life.  She is one of the "J" litter of puppies we think will be medium sized as adults, and I have to admit that Jack is my new dream (now that Muddy's adopted), even if I can't have him. 

Fuzzy Jack


As mentioned yesterday and again just now, Muddy went home today from Kennedy Town the minute the doors opened, and her adoption was followed by puppy Kai, and then Kenny.  

Gorgeous Muddy


You may remember that Kai was the one who swallowed a $2 coin and a hair grip, and once he'd got over that little episode he joined the Kennel Cough Club.  While waiting for him to recover, his would-be adopter ended up in quarantine herself, so it was a great relief to see him finally go to the home that had been lined up for him some time ago.

Sweet Kenny found his family


Kai has been waiting for this moment


Two of the younger puppies who were part of the "M" intake also found their forever families today, and at the same time.  The photo shown McFly and Mopsy with their respective adopters, leaving our North Street facility. 

McFly and Mopsy


The three shibas that I mentioned were due to arrive turned up as arranged, and we already have quite a lot on interest in the boy puppy, a breeder reject due to him having a toe missing.  The other two are females, not old by any means (probably two years), but used and abused before being kicked out, in typical breeder fashion. Take a look at them as they are now, because I want to remember these photos when they've fully recovered and look whole again.




Two other little dogs have already started on their road to recovery, and the difference is clear to see after even just a short time.  Shih tzu Meadow is blind, thanks to untreated dry eye, but at an estimated eight years of age she's not an old dogs by any means, and being blind is something that dogs can cope with very well.  Meadow is currently staying at our small Ap Lei Chau Centre at 21 Main Street, but a foster home would be welcome, if not a forever family. 

Ginny 


Meadow already looks so much better

Schnauzer Ginny is only six years old, but she needed to have emergency surgery when she arrived (as another suspected ex-breeder throw-out).  Ginny came from AFCD along with another schnauzer and two poodles, all the same age and all with heartworm.  That will be the next stage of their treatment.
