Fri 21st April: Still waiting for news

 Before you ask the answer is no, I still have no idea of when the new smaller dogs that are meant to be arriving on Saturday will actually turn up, and as frustrating as it is for potential adopters, it makes things extremely challenging for myself  and everyone else involved. I can't even guarantee that the dogs will come at all since that also happens, just as it did with the poodles we were recently asked to accept and which never showed up in the end.

I should mention that we already have quite a few smaller puppies that won't grow to be large adults, including the dachshund-cross siblings Melody and Mason,  the "L" brothers, Lennox (the smallest), Luke and Lewis, recent arrival Goofy, and most of the ex-Elgin puppies now staying at 13-19 North Street, Kennedy Town. Austin is now a young adult who has been with us since he was a puppy, but he's a shy boy so has never been chosen.

Under normal circumstances these smaller puppies would have been adopted when they were very young, but it's been such a slow start to the year, and the current rainy weather doesn't help. 

Lola works at the office in Elgin Street

We also have small adults waiting, like poodle Nacho and bichon Lola, both of whom are healthy and happy, and may well be in far better condition than some of the potential new arrivals.  Nacho is also at North Street, while Lola works at the office in Elgin Street, where I was today.  I wanted to take some toys back to Lamma for the youngsters staying at the Small Dog House as some of them are toy fanatics, but Lola took over one of the toys and I had to leave it with her as she was having so much fun.  Although both Nacho (also a toy lover) and Lola are ten years old, that's not old for a small dog and they're still active and playful.   

Which force will you join up for?

Time flies by and it's almost time for our first proper event in years, and that's Hero Dogs taking place on Saturday 6th May in Sai Kung. For full details and registration please visit: https://hongkongdogrescue.com/registration/ or go to our Hong Kong Dog Rescue Facebook page.
