Although Saturdays aren't official adoption days, you can come to meet Walter, Riva, Mushy, and Felix from 2pm to 5pm at Tamar Park, with every Saturday having four Tai Po Specials conveniently located in Central. There are two circular enclosed areas in Tamar Park for dogs to run around off leash and they are located closer to the Wan Chai Exhibition Centre, near the public washrooms. You can follow the “Pet Access Walkway”, or ask for directions to the dog park. The space is open to everyone so feel free to bring your own dogs(s) to join the fun.
With no website to showcase our dogs-in-waiting, we are very aware that we are losing opportunities for them to find homes. If you are looking for adult dogs or puppies to adopt, you are welcome to visit either of our Homing Centres any day of the week from 10am to 6pm, or Whiskers N Paws in Horizon Plaza, 2pm to 5pm on Sundays to meet our many gorgeous puppies.
Talking of our website, we are in urgent need of a good website designer or company who can offer to build a new HKDR website that has top security features, so we can prevent any further hacking issues. We are willing to pay, although of course we are hoping that costs can be kept to a minimum, as our need for a new and secure website is a priority. If you know of anyone that you can recommend to provide what we need, please let me know. We will need to make a decision very quickly so we can get back to business as soon as possible.
I think you are all aware that HKDR is a No Kill organisation, meaning that we promise a place for life for any dog that comes to us. That also means that from time to time we have to say goodbye to those dogs who were never lucky enough to be adopted, and there have sadly been a few who have left us recently. Today it was sweet Morris who passed away, very soon after having been diagnosed with an aggressive form of cancer. Blackie also recently lost her fight with lymphoma, just a matter of days after having moved to an end-of-life foster home, for which we were very grateful. It means a lot to us to know that our much-loved dogs get to spend their last weeks in a home where they can have a soft bed of their own and all the luxuries that we can't provide. We do our best for the terminal cases and there is no shortage of love, that's for sure, but if you are willing to offer a final hospice place for a dog to enjoy being pampered, please let Cindy know (foster@hongkongdogrescue.com). We hope we won't need to call on your kindness, but it would be comforting to know that when the time comes for another dog in need, we will have a home standing by.
