One of the many things I love about puppies is that they immediately welcome everyone as their best friend. There's no hesitation or checking to see the breed or colour, all that matters is a willingness to join in the games. You can see exactly this in the always wonderful photos take by our regular volunteer photographer, Eric Tang, at today's Puppy Party at Whiskers N Paws, where various puppies came together for the first time Puppy Adoption Day 12th Jan 2025. Anna was today's lucky puppy, while previously-resident Santa left on Saturday with her new family.
Talking of volunteer photographers, a lot of our regulars have now left Hong Kong and we're in need of replacements who can spare time on occasional Sunday afternoons from two o'clock until four. We're particularly looking for those who can help on a longer term basis so our Volunteer Coordinator, Elena Mathew, can schedule someone in advance for every Sunday. If you have some skills with a camera and especially taking photos of puppies, please email info@hongkongdogrescue.com.
We've had so many new dogs arriving at our Kennedy Town Homing Centre, and I've posted their photos on Facebook as they came in. You can always check our long-term volunteer Harryn's Instagram @ h_dogsister for lot of lovely photos and videos of the Kennedy Town dogs if interested, as well as those we regularly share on our own Facebook and Instagram page @ hkdr_official. Some lucky newbies left again almost immediately, including Barney the terrier and Noah the Sheepdoodle, while others have gone for a short trial with resident dogs.
As you know by now, not all adoptions last for ever, and the saddest case of all is that of Scribble, who through no fault of her own has come back to us three times. We really need to know that her next home will be her last and final one.
Also in need of a new family is 5 year-old miniature pinscher Enzo, who again through no fault of his will need to leave his current home. I'm looking for good photos to share as the ones we were sent are honestly useless, but mini pins look the same, and all I can add is that Enzo weighs 5 kilos.
There have been a lot of social media posts about dog poisonings recently, and many photos of a variety of suspicious-looking baited food left out. I can't be specific about places as there are too many to name individually, but please be on the lookout for anything that looks like food at the side of the road, especially if your dog is the type to eat something like that.
