Sun 20 March 16: Now every day is Puppy Day

What can I say?  It was blowing a cold gale on the terrace at Whiskers N Paws, and with the Easter holidays coming up it proved to be another fruitless afternoon for adoptions.  Of course the puppies themselves weren't bothered and had their usual fun-filled three hours, and for that it was worth it. Even so I had to pack up early to ensure getting back to Lamma after last Sunday's almost-disaster, and it was just as well I did because the wind was strong and the sea very choppy.

It's predicted that this year will be a bad one weather-wise, and with the adoption rate already being very low compared to last year and many puppies having to stay at our Ap Lei Chau Homing Centre, we will start making every a day a puppy adoption day, rather than only Sundays.  Of course we will still be at Whiskers N Paws as always, but we need to let potential adopters know that they can come by any day of the week to meet a large selection of puppies, all ages.  In fact you can also meet two lovely girls at Whiskers N Paws any day, because Sophie and Babette are full-time guests there.

Our Ap Lei Chau Homing Centre at 21 Main Street is small, but we have the advantage of being very close to a dog park where the older puppies can run and play freely, just as they do on the Whiskers N Paws terrace. If it's raining then they can still be seen indoors, even though the space is a bit cramped.  It's not ideal but it's the best that we can offer if we can't find foster homes for as many as possible.

All of our puppies are very good-natured and friendly, and with many of them now being five to six months old it's the best time of all to adopt.  Puppies this age have already been fully vaccinated and have started basic training.  They know how to walk on a leash, and are well socialised.  At this age you can also get a better idea of the final adult size, and for families with young children I always recommend puppies of this age rather than babies.

Sisters Treacle and Syrup

Of course we have youngsters too, and there was a lot of interest in the three new additions today (Dustin, Eva and Trixie). Gorgeous Lulu was also the centre of attraction, and no surprise there as she is both beautiful and sweet, and there are the three sisters Treacle, Syrup and Laura still waiting to join their forever families.
