Fri 28th July: Double goodbyes

 As ever I want to start with the adoption news, a happy type of goodbye, and today it was the turn of doglet Willa and another of the poodle-ish family, Grady.

Goodbye Willa!

Willa came to us as a very young baby pup, and she stayed relatively small as she grew.  I'm happy (of course) to know that she has her own family now, and that she can enjoy being spoiled and treated like a princess.  At least that's what I want for her and all of our dogs and puppies. 

Goodbye Grady!

With Grady being adopted we're now left with four of the original family of ten, and it's lovely to see how they've changed and grown in confidence as individuals since first coming to us.  They're all very sweet and friendly little dogs, and I'm happy that we were able to help them on their journey to a new and better way of life.

Four of the original ten are now left

 

Now to the other type of goodbyes and the human side of HKDR's operation.  You may have seen that we were looking for a new Events/PR staff member (and thank you to everyone who applied), and this was because our long-term and highly valued Tai Po/Events team member Eva Sit is leaving very soon.  I know everyone will miss her, as I certainly will, but we have a replacement in Winki Law, now undergoing some intensive training from Eva and Yannie after starting today.

Another long-term team member will also sadly be leaving at the end of August, this time from Kennedy Town.  Andrea has been with us for ten years and has been such a big part of everything, so she'll also be greatly missed.  Now we have to find a new recruit for the Kennedy Town operation, which involves both taking care of the dogs and puppies, and handling adoptions.  Applicants must be bi-lingual (English/Cantonese), able to work under pressure and as part of a team, and to be eager to learn.  The work is demanding both physically and emotionally, but also rewarding in the sense of knowing you are doing something worthwhile and meaningful.  It's never boring either!  If this type of job interests you, please send your resume to info@hongkongdogrescue.com including your expected salary and availability.
