Sun 30th Oct: A busy end to October

April's adoption left a space for Lizzie to be fostered

It was a happily busy afternoon at Whiskers N Paws with quite a few puppies moving on from their foster families to permanent homes, while little Combo stayed put and will be relocating to Italy early next year.  By the end of the three hours of fun and play only two puppies were left; Xena and Lizzie, but even then Lizzie was lucky enough to be taken by April's ex-fosters as her adoption left a vacancy.  Only Xena is now left without anywhere to stay and had to go to our Ap Lei Chau Homing Centre for the night.  If you can offer her a foster home please contact Cindy at foster@hongkongdogrescue.com as soon as possible.

Curry was adopted in the morning

Xena needs a foster home PLEASE!

Combo's foster parents couldn't give him up

Curry had been interviewed and adopted in the morning, and Tanner was also adopted by his foster home after worming his beautiful way into their hearts.

Tanner is staying in his foster home for good

Bagel left our Homing Centre today

Bagel the beagle and new poodle Bowie left our Ap Lei Chau Homing Centre, while over at Tai Po I was thrilled to hear that Suzie Wong had been chosen.  She was taken from AFCD as an adult, and being of mixed parentage I knew it wouldn't be easy to find her a home even though she was incredibly sweet and still young.

Golden retriever Larry also had his permanent residency confirmed after finally settling in, and he is a very lucky boy finding such a patient and understanding adopter.  Larry is yet another example of his breed not always being sweet and easy family dogs, but love finally persuaded him that being a good boy was the way to go.  We're very grateful to his adopter for not giving up in the early stages when Larry was feeling stressed and unhappy, because it is very easy to do just that.

Larry is a very lucky dog

I was so happy to hear Suzie Wong had been chosen

There was another very nice surprise in the form of a $30,000 donation from Meech Apsden of Pure International, money raised by Meech's special fundraising fitness classes.   So huge thanks to both Meech and Pure International for being such great supporters of HKDR.

For those of you who are planning to come to Peak to Fong in two weeks' time (Sunday 13th November) please hurry to get your T-shirt/tickets as we have already sold out of some sizes and styles.   We are re-filling where we can but you may have to accept being a Beauty instead of a Beast, or the other way round, or buying another size.
