Tues 30th May: Getting ready for Saturday

Ali on Sunday 

 For female puppies just a few months means the difference between being a helpless baby and needing to be desexed (spayed) to prevent unwanted pregnancy and more puppies being born.  We do this at six months for girls, while the males don't need to be neutered until they're a year old, and in fact these days it's recommended that for larger dogs especially, desexing isn't carried out too early.  Anyway today it was my favourite puppy Ali's turn to be spayed, so now all she needs is the right home to tie up her story.  I should mention that not only is Ali an incredibly sweet puppy, but she's also only medium sized and perfect for any family with children.   She's lucky to have been in a loving foster home for a while, so you can arrange to meet her in a familiar environment, or any Sunday at Whiskers N Paws from 2pm to 4pm.

Poodle Jazzy was also at Acorn having a hernia fixed, and she's  now ready to be adopted.  Initially it wasn't known whether the lump in her tummy was something more sinister, so when it turned out to be simply a hernia it was very good news.  Jazzy had a lot of interest when she first arrived but we needed to hold on until we could be sure that she was healthy.  In fact there's the double good news that unlike many smaller dogs her knees are stable so she's now good to go. 

Our tireless volunteer Foster Coordinator Cindy has been busy rounding up the small dogs in foster care to attend Saturday's Small Dog Party at Whiskers N Paws, again 2pm to 4pm, and we're also wondering if the new dogs due to arrive on Thursday will be suitable to attend.  I'm just waiting for details and hopefully photos, and the appointment at Concordia Pet Care is booked for Friday so unless there's something that means they can't be there to meet potential adopters, they'll be ready. 

You can also meet any of the dogs and puppies at our Kennedy Town Centres, but please make sure you complete the adoption questionnaire in advance so we can tell you which place to visit, or suggest the most suitable dogs for your home and situation. https://hongkongdogrescue.com/.../adoption-questionnaire/ 

Tara 

Remember we also have some small dogs staying at our Soho space at 22 Elgin Street, including small poodles Tara and Tatum, both of whom are incredibly sweet and cuddly. In fact anyone considering adoption of these lovely girls needs to be prepared to give them pretty much full time attention and companionship, particularly Tara who just loves to be picked up and carried.  You can see more photos of the Elgin Street dogs and others at hkdr_eagle
