Sun 27th March: A Happy Easter Sunday

Dustin will be staying in his foster home for ever

It was a surprisingly busy afternoon at Whiskers N Paws for a holiday weekend, and as I wrote yesterday two puppies had already been chosen on Saturday to kick off the adoptions tally. My main concern isn't the babies so much, but the older pups who are now six months-ish and quickly growing out of their baby stage.  In fact many would-be adopters don't even see them as puppies, even though they are only two or three months older than the little ones, and in my eyes a far better choice for families with children, or even those without.  They are still young enough to quickly adapt to a new home, environment and family, while being old enough to have passed the need for constant supervision and care.  However today was a lucky one for two of the older puppies, with Jimmy being chosen to join his new family next weekend and Donna moving to the New Territories straight away.  Now there is only Fluffy left from the "black group", and out of all of them he has to be the sweetest and cuddliest of all.  His turn will come, I'm sure.

Trixie last Sunday

Of the three youngest siblings, Trixie left for a short trial to see how she and the cats get on, while Dustin and Eva went back to their foster home with Dustin's future confirmed and Eva needing one more week for a decision.

It was a fantastic day for the West Kowloon Cultural District "Freespace Happening Event" which took place at the Nursery Park from 2pm to 7pm, and thanks to the volunteers who came along to man our HKDR stall. So far these photos taken as the stalls were being set up are the only ones I have, but there will be lots more added to our Hong Kong Dog Rescue (HKDR) Facebook page very soon. 

After so long without a website when malicious hackers made it necessary to close our old site down, we should finally have something up and running again by next week.  It won't be fully complete and we will have to add information gradually to restore all content, but at least there will be the basic information available.  Thanks for the offers of help from those who contacted us, and to everyone for hanging in there when there was nothing to see.  It will be a huge relief to be back to normal again, and hopefully it will mean more dogs in homes too.
