Weds 31st Aug: 55, Whoop whoop!

Will small-sized Misty be next?

 Another month has flown by and it's time to count the adoptions, as well as the number of dogs and puppies arriving to take the places of the lucky ones.   I'm very happy to see that the outgoing number is greater than the incoming, as fifty five dogs and puppies found their forever homes during August, while we took in forty.

As far as the latest intake are concerned, they're all still a bit shy and scared, except for Abby who seems to have adjusted better than the rest.  Assumed siblings Archie and Alexi are also starting to warm up, and I think that once they're in a normal home environment they'll be fine.  We're not looking for a home for the two of them together, and I suspect they would prefer to have their own space anyway. 

I'm very grateful for the much-needed volunteer help that's been offered, because we don't have the staff at HKDR@Elgin to handle the cleaning and feeding and everything else that's involved.  In fact everyone has been so willing to pitch in that I was wondering if any might also be open to helping out at the Sunday Puppy Parties at Whiskers N Paws.  It's only two hours that are needed, between 2pm and 4pm, and it's really mainly to watch over the puppies, clean up after them as needed, and to break up any playground fights.  Kids will be kids. 

It's not just the puppies who get into arguments, as the adults are even more likely to become frustrated at being put together in a small space, especially if they're the type known to be less tolerant, like the shiba inus currently staying at Kennedy Town.  

Foxy and Fritter are two year-old ex-breeder shiba inu girls who admittedly still don't look their best, but these things take time. They are sweet and friendly to humans, and like to have all your attention. If you are interested in adopting Fritter or Foxy, and understand the shiba need for adventure and mental stimulation, please complete the adoption questionnaire as a first step.
