Weds 26th April: A warning about social media

Rose is on a diet now!

 With a request today for us to take in four more ex-breeder poodles, I should mention the others that came to us last Saturday, and who went straight into foster homes.  Two of these are pug girl Rose, and senior poodle boy Roo, both of whom are doing very well and are lovely little dogs. 

Roo is a very sweet older poodle

Roo, poodle, 12y, brown, 2.91kg, almost blind is fostered with Rose, pug, 7y, 11.3kg - very sweet

Ruby, poodle, 3y, red, 4kg, (one eye missing) - very sweet

Rebel, poodle, 4y, red,  4.04kg - loves people, not other dogs

Robin, pom, 4y, tan, 6.6kg - loves people, not keen on other dogs

Rhonda, poodle-terrier, cream1 yr - very sweet and bonded with Roy
Roy, poodle-terrier, 1y, cream, 9.8kg - very sweet and bonded with Rhonda

If you would like to meet any of these dogs in their foster homes please contact Cindy at foster@hongkongdogrescue.com to arrange.

Nacho has waited too long!

Can I also remind you about Nacho, still waiting for a home but a great little dog with a bright personality and still very active at ten years of age.  He's staying at our Kennedy Town Centre at 13-19 North Street, open every day from 10am to 6pm.

Also at North Street, Katie and Kai are really lovely smaller dogs, not poodles or any particular breed but still just as worth of a home.  Katie was described as very shy when we were asked to take her, but she quickly warmed up and is now happy to go for walks, as you can see in the video:

 

We get all sorts of random requests to take in dogs and puppies, but today's surrender request should be a warning to everyone who is trying to re-home their dog via social media.  If you choose to post your dog on Facebook or Instagram as though it was a piece of unwanted furniture, be aware that there are many homes offered that are totally unsuitable.  I will share this particular message word for word so you will understand exactly what I mean.  It's quite shocking and it should act as a reminder that adoption is for LIFE, not only while it's convenient. 

I would like to give my dogs to you guys the reason is because we are leaving Hong Kong and we cannot afford to bring them with us plus now we are very busy to take care of them we need to abandon them so if you guys can help us to take them and help them to find new Homes that will be very nice

They are two dogs one is a boy and one is a girl and they areSiblings we are adopted them from Facebook because that person was also leaving Hong Kong but now we are leaving to I don’t know how to post them on Facebook

And the girl might be pregnant in the second months if actually is
