Sat 20th May: A handful of adoptions today

Only Julie has been adopted so far 

 It wasn't any of the new intake of small dogs that found their forever homes today, although Johnny was taken for fostering by one of our regular and lovely foster parents.  He was the only dog in the group to have tested positive for heartworm, so he'll need the pre-treatment before having the injections that kill the worms, followed by the post-treatment rest period.  Heartworm is no joke, but it's so easy to prevent it still shocks me that dog owners either can't be bothered or don't even know about the disease. 

Two of the dogs that now have forever homes are those that have also been staying in foster, and coincidentally they were both part of the same "R" group of thirteen that came in April.  I think many of you may have seen Rebel's Instagram posts @sweet_potatoe, and today Rebel was chosen for adoption by a new family.  

Rina the day she arrived in April

The second foster dog to become part of a forever family is Rina, a terrier who will be staying as a "foster fail".  

Pom Robin is another dog from that same "R" intake, and although he's a great little character and impeccably well mannered, he has yet to meet his forever family.  His day will come soon,  I'm sure of it.

Dizzy going home 

The other lucky dogs today were Dizzy, quite a recent arrival at North Street, Kennedy Town, and Opal, one of the many smaller-sized puppies staying at the same centre.

Opal's best friend Odette is still available

I almost forgot one of the "A" puppies that came as a group of nineteen and became what are known as The Elgin Puppies, even though those that haven't been adopted have long since moved to Kennedy Town.  Astrid is also now a "Foster Fail", and I'm sure many volunteers will remember her as the tiny black puppy from back in February on that memorable day.  

We still have a few puppies left from that intake, including fuzzy-faced Avia, sweet Aspen, Penny, Pip and Parker (plus others).   You can meet them on Sunday at Whiskers N Paws, 10/F Horizon Plaza, 2pm to 4pm.
