Sat 30th July: Hail in Tai Po, sun on Lamma

It turned out to be a very satisfying Saturday despite the rain - and giant hailstones - that affected the New Territories.  It was hot and sunny the entire day on Lamma, and I like to boast that I live on a tropical island that always has better weather, although that doesn't apply during typhoons when I'm always right in the path of the wind.

Sugar ended up at AFCD after having been found wandering in Aberdeen

Sugar was sent to Ap Lei Chau from Tai Po for her adoption interview, which she passed despite a nervous start, so this sweet girl is now in a forever home of her own.

Chocolate, now Jojo, makes three

Lucky Ap Lei Chau resident, blind poodle Chocolate, was chosen to join Mira and Bella, and he already looks very happy and settled.

I only have this early photo of Frankie taken in March

Pug Frankie was confirmed as being a keeper when we had a potential adoption interview lined up for him, and that often happens when the time comes for a foster to give a dog up.  I don't have a recent photo of Frankie, only the one taken when he  was a new boy at our Homing Centre and not looking too good.  I'm sure we'll have updated ones soon.

What does Tony look like now?

Another lucky boy who will be staying in his foster home is puppy Tony, also known as the gremlin pup or Mr. Grumpy.  This funny little guy was taken in as a holiday guest when he had tick fever but he quickly won his foster's heart.  Again I don't have any updated photos and I would love to see how he's growing.

At Tai Po it was Rocky's turn to walk out of the gates on his way to a foster home, and hopefully this too will turn into an adoption.  Whether or not it does it's a good time for any dog to be leaving the Homing Centre with a possible typhoon on the way this coming week.  If anyone can take in a guest for the duration of the bad weather please let Cindy know (foster@hongkongdogrescue.com), and I am also in need of puppy fosters for the Lamma pups who live outside.  These are Domino, Sidney, Jenna and new girl Loretta, all of whom will be at Whiskers N Paws on Sunday along with many others.

Rocky (right) didn't even look back

Brothers Jonas and Wiggle will also be urgently in need of somewhere new to stay as they have to leave their current foster home.  These two boys are really a fantastic pair, and they have already been trained in basic obedience and are more than ready to start their new lives.

Jonas and Wiggle are fantastic puppies, already trained and good to go
