Tues 17th May: Going in pairs

Will Jill be staying for ever?

It has quietly been a good time for young couples, and by that I mean doglets and puppies going home in pairs, even if they are only trials or fosters.  On Sunday Jill and Athena were both taken when the potential adopter just couldn't decide between them, and so far they are both doing really well.

Beautiful Athena

Martin has been in a few foster homes and they all loved him

Today is was the turn of Banjo and Martin, who were offered a long-term foster in response to my plea for help with the older and larger Ap Lei Chau residents. We were all over the moon about them staying together as well as knowing that they were going to a lovely home with lots of space, and a garden.   As this is a foster and not a permanent adoption, both dogs will still be available and will be featured on our website dog profiles, and hopefully the experience of a family life will give them a better chance of finding their forever homes.

Banjo is big but very sweet and easy

The third pair haven't gone yet but should be picked up from their current foster home before Sunday's Whiskers N Paws afternoon, all being well.  I don't want to mention any names so as not to jinx anything, but you will know as soon as the puppies leave.  This is a proper adoption too, so there will be no need to worry about who might be coming back.

 Now I'm wondering if there might be a chance for some of my lovely Lamma dogs, those that are still young but who have missed their chance of finding homes.  I'm thinking of those like Poker, one of a fairly large litter all of whom found loving homes except him.  There was no particular reason, just bad luck, as he was just as sweet as the others.  Now he is one of the quieter members of that particular Lamma group, and is often bullied.  I would so love him to be able to find a home of his own, and I can promise that he is a kind and gentle boy who will be no trouble.  If you think you would like to meet Poker with a view to adopting him, please let me know by emailing sally@hongkongdogrescue.com, and maybe one by one I can help my Lamma friends.

Poker is such a sweet boy who just needs a chance
