Sun 30th July: It's never too late for a dog to find a forever home

Bee when he first arrived at HKDR (Ap Lei Chau)

 Two adoptions today were "failed fosters", meaning temporary homes that had changed to forever adoptions.  As it happens both of the dogs are poodles, although Bee, who is now Mr Bean, is very much a senior so his rest-of-life home is especially appreciated.  I know Mr Bean will have the best of care, just as his now-brother Mr Fox has been given, transforming what was a very sad-looking old Sheltie into a handsome senior. 

Adorable Tatum 

The other failed foster was that of little girl Tatum, one of four ex-breeder poodles who came together and who were all in need of surgery to fix their knees (with Tara also having a floppy wrist that was successfully repaired by Dr Tony).  I remember when they arrived as they were all so happy and lively despite their wobbly kneecaps, and now they have all found their forever homes. 

Sybil 

Lastly it was Sybil who was chosen from the many waiting at Kennedy Town.  She had been one of the before-and-after transformations, looking completely different, and so much better, after a good haircut.  

Big boy Usko 

Faye Cheuk was our volunteer photographer at Whiskers N Paws today  Puppy Adoption Day 30th July 2023, and the big question was who would stay behind to take the place of Gabby, who was adopted on Saturday.  In the end two were chosen, Pip and Pippa (confusing I know), so they will now share the puppy area with big boy Usko, the Gentle Giant as he's been nicknamed. 

Pip always has a smile on his face
