Fri 23rd June: Comings and goings

All of this litter are now adopted or in foster

It ended being a very busy day, in a good way happily, with puppy brothers Artie and Milo being taken to their respective new homes, and Ginger also being picked up by his adopters.

Little pom June also left the Homing Centre to start her new life, while another new dog took her place.  This was a black-and-white poodle girl, now called Minty, who is six years old and very sweet natured.  She's in need of a drastic haircut and will look very pretty once that's done.

Little pom June was adopted today

Tai Po dog Barbie has been in a potential home for a while now, the factor deciding formal adoption being whether she could settle in with the two resident Jack Russells.  Thanks to advice from our own HKDR trainer, Cactus, the paperwork was signed today and Barbie officially became Kuma.

Barbie/Kuma is now officially one of the family

The only dark cloud on an otherwise sunny day was that Ginger's sister, Sandy, came back from her foster home, so she'll be at Whiskers N Paws on Sunday to try her luck again.  Sandy's a favourite of many, including myself and one of our guest trainers, Alice, who has already taught her a lot of the basic commands such as "sit" and "down".   At five months Sandy is still quite small but full of energy, and she reminds me very much of a miniature pinscher in both looks and personality.  If you want a companion dog who can accompany you anywhere, take a look at Sandy.

Some of the longer-term readers of my blog may remember a lovely boy called Arthur, who waited a long time to be adopted and we were a but worried about him ever being chosen.  Well sometimes the wait is worth the worry, as Arthur found a lovely family who are now returning to India, and taking him along of course.  Dogs are as much part of the family as everyone else and should never be left behind.  I'm sure Arthur will enjoy his new life, and I'm quite sure he will.

Arthur's things are all packed and ready

Sunday's set to be a busy day at Whiskers N Paws with all the new puppies that will be there, so come along early if you want to spend time with them before choosing.
