| Hannah and Hudson stay together |
Before getting started on the madness that the day became, I'll start with the good news. Puppies Hannah and Hudson were adopted as a pair, meaning all three of this particular litter have found homes very quickly (assuming Holly's trial works out, which I'm pretty sure it will).

| Suki's new life starts today |
Younger puppy Suki also left to start her new life, a lucky girl who will never remember being an orphan.

| Puppy girl Igloo |
I received a message asking if we could take in two breeder shiba inu, one a youngish puppy and the other an adult female. There was the usual "some leg problem" hint, which could mean anything from no leg at all to wobbly kneecaps (patella luxation), and it turned out to be the latter. However the condition is the most severe, and the poor puppy walks like a frog. It's simply inhumane that breeders continue to produce puppies that have such genetic defects, and we will wait to see if surgery can fix the problem. Even if it's possible, that's another huge vet bill looming.
We will need a foster home for Igloo, a white female shiba inu, so please complete the form at www.hongkongdogrescue.com/volunteer/fostering/ or email Cindy at foster@hongkongdogrescue.com if you are already registered as a foster parent.
The adult shiba came with big wounds on her body, so she was sent immediately to Acorn to have those treated. We will also need a foster home for now-Mariko.
We still have the previous one year-old white shiba inu boy, Yuki, needing a forever home when his foster family leaves for their summer holiday in a week. Yuki is VERY energetic, so he needs a home where he has adequate space as well as a willing playmate. His current foster adopted a lovely dog from HKDR not too long ago, but Lewis is a laid-back kind of character who has no interest in joining Yuki's games. This leaves the shiba feeling frustrated, and although he tries his best to control his behaviour, he redirects his play attempts on the humans. This is why Yuki really needs a playmate, and a home where there are no children..jpg)
In addition to the new shibas, at the end of the afternoon we received thirteen new smaller dogs, ranging in age and type from two poodles to the usual range of mixes.

Photos and details will be posted on Tuesday, but the adults are mostly young(ish), some with things that obviously need veterinary attention. One of the poodles (shown in the photo) will probably need to have a back leg removed, for example, so again we urgently need foster homes, as well as donations to help us cover the costs for all of these dogs.
You can find details of how to make a donation at www.hongkongdogrescue.com/donate/ and all contributions make a big difference to the dogs who need help.
