Sun 26th June: Shadow's first and last appearance

Charlie arrived on Friday and is already in a home

I wasn't at all surprised to get the message from Iris at our Ap Lei Chau Homing Centre telling me that new poodle Charlie had been adopted as he's such a lovely and happy character.  Now I'm just hoping that someone suitable will take sweet Bomber home, because although there were lots of initial adoption applications he's still waiting for the right one.  Bomber is incredibly friendly with people but isn't great with other dogs, and he is also very active.   He needs lots of attention, playtime and exercise and then he'll be the happiest boy possible.  If you think you can offer a home like this and you are interested in Bomber, please complete the adoption questionnaire on the website www.hongkongdogrescue.com (under Adopt).

Bomber is a gorgeous little guy

We have quite a few older puppies at our Ap Lei Chau Homing Centre, many of whom have been with us since they were babies due to stubborn cases of tick fever which resulted in demodex, a type of mange which often appears when the immune system is weakened.  Sisters Lilac and Shadow are two of them, smaller-sized almost-adults now, and today was the very first time Shadow made it to Whiskers N Paws (Lilac's skin is still looking a bit patchy so she stayed behind).  After meeting all of the puppies available, one family decided that Shadow was the one for them and so she became the only lucky pup of the afternoon.

Shadow was chosen on her first ever visit to Whiskers N Paws

Mushy was taken home a week ago for a short trial

Although no new dogs were taken from Tai Po at least gorgeous Mushy had his trial adoption confirmed as being permanent, so another case can be closed.

Tony needs a foster home even if you can't adopt

I'm really surprised that little gremlin pup Tony hasn't been adopted yet as he's so cute and quite unique.  I don't think I've ever seen a puppy that looks like this or behaves in such a relaxed manner, and all I can say is whoever gets to take this little guy home will need to send regular updates so we can see how he grows.  I don't think he'll be a large dog as an adult, in fact quite the opposite, and maybe he should be at our Ap Lei Chau Homing Centre for small dogs.
