| Peanut is really ready for a home now |
We'll all be out in our summer clothes for Christmas it seems, all ready for the last-minute influx of small-sized dogs from AFCD before the actual holidays. Sadly we have just heard too that little Banjo will be coming back from his failed trial and that's really upsetting for everyone, not to mention adding yet another body to the already-crowded Homing Centre. For that reason when we have had multiple offers of a home for the new dogs and they are all as good as each other, the one that can take the dog(s) straight away will be chosen. We just don't have the luxury of space to keep any dogs longer than is absolutely necessary.

| Yogi at the dog park |
In fact we are so crowded at our Ap Lei Chau Homing Centre right now that we are urgently in need of fosters for the holidays, particularly for those dogs that are not as easy to find homes for. We had another dog back from long-term foster, a beautiful boy called Yogi when went out as pretty much untouchably shy and has done so well thanks to his patient and caring foster parent. He has even been to the dog park for a play, something that we really never expected to see. It just shows that with the right techniques (and thanks to Cactus for helping) and not trying to rush things, miracles can happen.
Just as a reminder we are open every single day of the year, and that means Christmas Day, New Year's Day, Chinese New Year and every day in between. I'm still regularly being asked that question so I obviously need to clarify that every single day means exactly that. If you are a registered volunteer please use any spare time you have to come and walk the dogs or take them out for hiking/Christmas dinner/whatever, and if you are able to please, please foster.
I'll be at Whiskers N Paws with the regular volunteers on Christmas Eve, so please drop by to say hello if you're around.
