Fri 30th June: A magnificent 50

This is close to Mason's final adult size

 At long last it was Mason's time to leave our Kennedy Town Homing Centre with his new family, and I'm sure everyone was very happy to say goodbye.  Mason came to us with his two siblings, Max and Melody, and at that time, as with all very young puppies, we couldn't tell how big or small they would be as adults. As they grew a bit older it was clear they would remain fairly small, and also that from their body shape and faces they seemed to be part dachshund.  Not that it makes any real difference, it just confirmed our views about their potential final size. 

Max, Melody and Mason

There's another pair of siblings who are long overdue for adoption, and like Mason, Max and Melody, they have also been with us since they were very tine babies.  The difference is that Pepper (aka Reggie) and Pixie are larger sized, but that shouldn't make a difference when they're also both wonderfully friendly and happy characters.  

Pixie 

In fact Pixie, the female, has just been to Acorn to have the stitches removed  following her desexing surgery, and I had to laugh at the vet's comments on the notes: "Objective/Observations:  lovely girl, but nearly licked me to death".   

Both Pixie and Pepper have been in foster homes since first arriving, but sadly the time has come for Pixie to have to be returned and we're urgently in need of a forever home for her, or at least another foster situation.  You have it in writing from the vet how sweet-natured Pixie is, and the same can be said for Pepper-Reggie, even though he hasn't been formally assessed as such.  You can see Pepper-Reggie's life so far on Instagram @why_i_foster, with all of the comments about him and how wonderful he is.

Pixie and a few of the female puppies who are around six months old haven't been able to attend the regular Sunday puppy party at Whiskers N Paws because they have been recovering from their desexing surgeries, but Penny and Pippa should be back this weekend, along with Pixie and others. 

For all adoption enquiries please start by completing the questionnaire at www.hongkongdogrescue.com/adopt/adoption-questionnaire.
