| Toastie has a lovely home now |
The "T" litter came to us at the end of November, and while Tessa was adopted quite quickly, the remaining three girls have been waiting since then to be chosen. Happily today was Toastie's big day, leaving Tinker and Tansy hopefully following suit before too long.
We'll be at Whiskers N Paws (2pm to 4pm) with some of the available puppies on Sunday, and with many people coming back from their extended Christmas-New Year-Chinese New Year breaks, interest in adoption is finally starting to pick up again. Not before time either, as puppies grow like weeds, and even two weeks can make a huge difference in size, looks and behaviour.
It's something I have to remind puppy adopters of when they're feeling frustrated about things like play biting or toilet training, as that period of learning passes so quickly, almost on a daily basis. One day you might be cursing and swearing that adopting a puppy was the worst ever decision, and the next day all of that's forgotten as everything falls into place. I can't tell you how many times over the years we've had this experience, so when I say "trust me, it will be fine", I really mean it.
I need to mention that we're still looking for a new staff member to join the Kennedy Town team. We're happy to consider younger applicants without experience as long as everything else is there, such as being a dog lover (of course), bi-lingual (English-Cantonese), sensible and willing to learn, and to work as part of a team. The work can be hard and frustrating, at times heartbreaking, but there is a real sense of satisfaction at seeing real and tangible results when dogs and puppies are adopted. If you are genuinely interested in this job, please email iris@hongkongdogrescue.com.
