Thurs 26th Jan: Thank you for the happy updates

 Just as the Lunar New Year holiday comes to an end, officially at least, the weekend is coming up, and I know a lot of people have taken the opportunity to extend their time off work to include the extra days. Hopefully that means there'll be a rush of adoptions once everything is well and truly back to normal, and I know there's at least one dog at HKDR@Elgin that this applies to. 

It was the perfect day for the traditional CNY hike

As promised, I have the photo of the traditional Chinese New Year hike by volunteers and their chosen Tai Po Homing Centre dogs. The weather was perfect and everyone had a great time, dogs included.  Remember, if you are an experienced and registered volunteer you can apply to take a dog out for the day, although we prefer to keep those at the top of our potential adoption list at the Homing Centre so they don't miss out on any chance of finding a home. 

Mia-Hazel flew as carry-on

After yesterday's very sad story about Theo, the dog that came back to us after having been badly treated, there were some lovely updates to compensate.  Such as poodle Mia, now called Hazel, who is now in the US after what looks like an in-cabin flight. 

"O" puppy Odile, now called Koume, is clearly more than happy in her home, and once again you can see that two dogs keep each other entertained in a way that humans just can't replicate. 

Doglet Juliet, now Julie, was adopted from our Tai Po Homing Centre as an older puppy, and she too is having the best time with her new(ish) family.  "Kung Hei Fat Choi from Julie (Juliet).  She’s a very happy, clever girl - eats well, enjoys her walks, has made some doggie friends, likes to help carry bags into the house and can do lots of tricks.  "

We so much appreciate that hundreds of adopters every year open their homes to the dogs and puppies that are desperately in need, because it makes all the hard work and heartache worthwhile.  If you would like to do the same, please start by completing the adoption questionnaire at www.hongkongdogrescue.com/adopt/adoption-questionnaire/ as a first step.
