I know I've been away for too long, but somehow my time is eaten up by other important things which I can't avoid, such as getting dogs to Acorn and so on. In the meantime, with November just around the corner, we've been busy with Peak to Fong 2024 and the huge amount of pre-event work that's required, much more than I'm sure most people realise. We're often asked why we don't hold more than one big fundraiser every year, and the answer is just that it requires all sorts of behind-the-scenes preparation, from applying to all of the various licenses needed, to T-shirt design and production plus all of the logistics of planning a big street party. We do all of this ourselves without the help of any professional event company, so it's a lot of extra work for the team.
Anyway, the T-shirts are now available to buy from our Homing Centres as well as a few other supporting outlets, and as these are your tickets to the event please make sure you buy one in good time, and that you wear it on the day itself.

If any individuals or dog-related businesses are interested in taking one of the booths for the Lan Kwai Fong street party, there are a couple still available. You can contact us in any way and we'll get the message through to the relevant team members.
Back to the dogs, we've had several adoptions and still more dogs coming in, so if you're interested in any size or age please start by completing the questionnaire at www.hongkongdogrescue.com/adopt/adoption-questionnaire/.
Several of the latest "K" intake at Kennedy Town have already left, as well as a few lucky puppies, while I still have to name the three that arrived late in the afternoon today.
There have also been new dogs from AFCD joining the already-huge numbers at our Tai Po Homing Centre, and many of these dogs that are abandoned by their previous owners are young adults. The reason is almost always because when people take in a small puppy they don't consider that that tiny little thing will grow into a large dog, so as soon as that happens the dogs is thrown out. The "teenage" period when a puppy is reaching the age of young adulthood often comes with behaviour changes too, just the same as in humans, so people wrongly assume the dog is "bad". It's just a perfectly normal hormonal issue that will pass, but it's a sad time for too many misunderstood doglets (as I call them). Skylar and Pumpkin are two such "teenagers" who have just arrived at Tai Po from AFCD, and I really hope they won't become one of our long-termers. Life is so unfair for these poor dogs.
Of course we always have puppies waiting for homes, and you can see some of them in these wonderful photos taken by our regular volunteer photographer, Eric Tang Puppy Adoption Day 27th Oct 2024.
