Mon 27th March: Moving day coming up

Very sweet girl Katie at Elgin Street

 In case you missed the news, today is the last day that the current crop of dogs and puppies (shown in the video below) will be staying at our HKDR@Elgin location, because on Tuesday morning they will all be moving to the Kennedy Town Centre at 13-19 North Street.  This space was temporarily vacated to have some renovation work carried out, and now that it's completed we can move back in.  Later this week, and once the lower floor of Elgin Street has been made ready, the small "Red" dogs that are losing their home in Ap Lei Chau will be moving in. 

Sweet Ned 

In fact not all of the Ap Lei Chau dogs are really "Red", meaning they have certain behaviour issues, because we also have some other dogs that are there for different reasons.  One of these is Ned, now three years old and a regular larger-sized mongrel.  Ned came to us as a very young puppy, and we quickly found out that he had a condition which meant his food didn't go down naturally, and he had to eat sitting upright.  As a small puppy it was easy enough to have someone holding him while he was eating, but as he grew we had to have a special Bailey Chair made.  Over time this has also been modified to take into account Ned's growth, but as a mature adult now Ned knows how to get into his Bailey Chair by himself, and you can see in this video how easy it is for both Ned and the feeder: https://www.facebook.com/100064274126004/videos/pcb.601072572045208/741817524098783.  It's because of his condition that Ned has never been adopted, but now we really need a home for him.  He's a lovely dog, and the only thing that his condition means is that he must always be sitting up when he eats, and that means strictly no treats or extra snacks outside mealtimes.  Can you give Ned that home he's waited so long for? (we'll send his Bailey Chair with him of course).

The timing isn't the best because our van and driver Ming will be busy moving the dogs and puppies from Elgin Street to North Street, but I just heard that the new small puppies will be arriving on Tuesday too, as well as three small-medium adults.  I've arranged for them to be dropped off at ALCVC so they can be checked over and vaccinated, and if anyone is interested in meeting, adopting or fostering any of these little "O" pups, please start by completing the adoption questionnaire at www.hongkongdogrescue.com, or emailing Cindy at foster@hongkongdogrescue.com.  These puppies will grow to be small, or small-medium, as adults.
