Thurs 4th Aug: A Homing Centre packed with puppies

 I'm a bit late with writing today's post because I've been busy replying to emails about the small dogs whose photos were shared on Facebook yesterday.  Muddy is currently the most popular, and as always I have to remind everyone that there is only one of each dog, so even if all of the homes offered are really suitable we can still only let one take Muddy home.  I happen to agree that she's absolutely gorgeous and I would personally love to adopt her if it wasn't for the tricky situation of already having a house filled with dogs! 

Google and Ginger have been adopted

These aee just some of the puppies

We also have a Homing Centre at Kennedy Town filled with puppies, all eager to be the one chosen to go to a home and to become part of a real family. 

The new dogs arrived from AFCD yesterday, and for some reason I had totally missed that there were three poodles, not two, along with the two schnauzers, all six years old.  Sadly all but one of them, a poodle, tested positive for heartworm, so once again I have to remind everyone that that unless you give your dogs heartworm prevention, the chances are high that they will be bitten by a mosquito and be infected with the parasite. It doesn't matter where you live, but the New Territories and islands are at higher risk due to the environment. 

Clara has a soft bed now

The ten year-old Rottweiler, now called Clara, had also had heartworm but was treated for it and was lucky enough to be offered a foster home. 

I was at our HKDR@Elgin location today helping new recruit Cam to move the furniture around now that the office desks and cabinets have gone.  The store is begging to look really good and we have so much great merchandise for sale, for dogs and T-shorts for humans too.  Please drop by if you're in the Soho area to take a look, and hopefully to pick up some great gifts for yourself and your dog friends.
