The Year of the Rabbit got off to a hopping start as several dogs were chosen from the group of small-to-medium hopefuls at HKDR@Elgin. I was happily surprised that the day was really quite busy in terms of enquiries and visitors, and Monday looks as though it could be the same.

I don't want to mention the names of the "maybes", but I can say that chihuahua-pom Sparky will be picked up on Monday, and Hester has also had her adoption paperwork completed. There's a slight delay at our Elgin Street Centre because during weekends and holidays there's only volunteers handling the enquiries, so formalities such as confirmation of adoptions and the paperwork have to be handled by either myself or the Kennedy Town team.
There may be more news about two, or even three more Elgin Street dogs coming soon, maybe as early as Monday, but I'll hold off mentioning names for now.
I'm also keeping my fingers crossed for some of the Tai Po dogs, with potential adopters coming to meet them over the holiday period. Let's see how that works out.
I heard about this bad news a few days ago but wanted to have confirmation of the details before mentioning it, but it will affect a lot of our adopters and those considering adoption. It's always been much more difficult to get dogs into Australia than to Europe, Canada, America and the UK, but now the regulations are even more stringent. What it means is that any dog (and cat) owners who think that they might be moving to Australia need to make sure that they plan a very long time in advance, and even then it might not be easy. https://www.9news.com.au/national/rabies-titre-test-pet-owners-new-rules-bringing-cats-dogs-to-australia-exclusive/d2a2aad8-6b59-4b36-8b0b-c44280598522
Please check with the pet export companies to be sure that you have up-to-date requirements for all countries if you're thinking about relocating. Rules seem to change all the time we already have a big problem with pets being left behind because of it.
