It's taken a while but finally the first pair from the family of ten poodly-type dogs have left to start their new life, and while I'd love to share the adoption photo I'm having some issues sending images from WhatsApp to my computer. For now I'll just have the use the family headshots, and tell you that it was Gambit and Georgia who were adopted.
I'm fairly sure that the latest litter of puppies will be reduced by a few this weekend, if not all going off to their new homes. Bounce was the first to leave last weekend, and she's already started her basic lessons with the trainer that we recommend for all home visits, Alice Lau.

Most of the questions about these puppies are how big will they grow to be, and we really can't know for sure. The best I can offer is that they won't be large sized as adults.

The new white shiba inu left for his foster home today, and he has a potential home to go to once the small ringworm (fungal) patches on his body have cleared.
Sunday is Whiskers N Paws Puppy Party time again, and I hope the rain holds off for the couple of hours we're there so the youngsters can enjoy the terrace. The puppy (now doglet really) in the photo shown is Pip, one of the few remaining "A" and "P" puppies that arrived in a large group in February (9th to be exact). Ava and Avia are still waiting for homes, although they're two very different types, Ava being larger and very friendly, while Avia is small and timid (but really very cute!)
Avia's been enjoying a short holiday at Instagram @why_i_foster if you want to check out some wonderful photos, and she'll be back with her original foster parents this weekend. 
Also still waiting from that same group are siblings Paxton and Pippa, also quite shy but so much better than when they first arrived. All of the less confident characters really need to be with another dog to thrive in new homes, as you will see from the photos of Avia having such fun with her temporary playmates.
I should mention that the new Tai Po Homing Centre Volunteer registration system has been implemented, starting with those who are already volunteering. I had previously explained the reasons behind the need for a new system, and hopefully this will mean that new sign-ups can be dealt with quickly, and that anyone thinking about volunteering will be serious about the work and commitment.
Tai Po Homing Centre is transitioning to a whole new Volunteer System, requiring all currently registered dog-walking volunteers at Tai Po to re-enroll by submitting a new registration form before 7th July and completing the new registration process.
Under the new system, we welcome our volunteers to assist with various duties at Tai Po during their shifts, such as kennel cleaning, dishwashing, grooming, and other tasks that contribute to the dogs' well-being, in addition to walking them.
All volunteers will be required to compete 5 Supervised Shifts within 3 months to obtain a Volunteer ID card. Please refer to our website for details and register accordingly: https://hongkongdogrescue.com/registration-to-the-new.../
Thank you very much for continuing to be a part of our HKDR team in taking care of the dogs we love!
*Please note that this round of registration is for existing Tai Po volunteers ONLY. If you are interested in volunteering with us but you are NOT already a registered volunteer at Tai Po, this enrollment process is not for you. Please wait for New Volunteer Registration to open later. When it’s ready, we will announce it here and on our website. *
