Thurs 22nd Dec: Preparing for a busy day

A big smile from Scone and his family

Starting with some very happy news from Tai Po, lovely Scone had his adoption confirmed after a short trial so he will be enjoying his first ever family Christmas.   Of course any day is the same as any other when it comes to adoptions, but I like to think there is something a bit special about this time of year.

Sweet Cookie will be home for Christmas

Older puppy Cookie will also be in her forever home for Christmas, and that ties up her particular story very nicely.  If you remember, I called her Cookie because she had apparently been destined for the cooking pot originally, and having been rescued from that horrifying situation she went to another pretty awful one where she was branded as being vicious.  From the moment Cookie came too us she has been nothing but sweet and loving so I can't imagine what was done to her to make her so afraid, but that's all in the past now and she is young enough to easily forget.

Schnauzer girl 11 years old

We're preparing for a big day on Friday with the arrival of so many new dogs from AFCD, and although I have already mentioned quite a few of them there are others that will be needing homes too.  One of these is a senior schnauzer girl, another a young adult mixed breed, and then there is also a singleton puppy. who will be needing a foster home.  Three more Lamma puppies went off to their holiday foster homes today, for which many thanks, but it does mean that this new arrival will be on her own unless someone can foster her.  Cindy, our Foster Coordinator, has done an incredible job handling all of the puppy fosters, and the only downside is that there will be an avalanche of returnees after the New Year.  I will worry about that when it happens, and hope for a miracle.
