Fri 24th Nov: Gearing up for a busy weekend

Candy has her own story of course

There's going to be a mad scramble for corgi puppy Candy this weekend, as I have received many enquiries and there's only one Candy available.  I hope that those potential adopters who turn up at the Homing Centre too late for this particular dog will consider others as there are so many to choose from.

Callie comes with her baby

I do have a little surprise up my sleeve for anyone wanting a small breed puppy because there is a very young black poodle baby available.  However this little one comes with a proviso, that her mother is taken too.  How a poodle mother and her puppy came to be with us is a long story, but both have been in foster since the pup was born and she is now eight weeks old.  Please complete the adoption questionnaire on our website www.hongkongdogrescue.com (under Adopt), if not already done, if you are interested in a very sweet mother-and-daughter poodle pair.

Wendy is such a lovely girl

There are so many dogs available and a huge choice for potential adopters, but I would like to mention one particular dog who is a new arrival but such an easy and very sweet girl.  Her name is Wendy and when she came from AFCD they told us she was a shiba-corgi cross, although she looks very much like a shiba inu to me.  Regardless of a breed name, which is not important anyway, Wendy was our HKDR representative at the Baker McKenzie office in Central today, where we had been invited to give an evening presentation about HKDR and adoption.  Eva was there with a group of volunteers (thank you) and another ex-HKDR papillon we had called Butterfly, but it was Wendy who was the real star of the afternoon.  I have no idea what her story is but she is six years old and a perfect dog for any family.  Wendy is staying at our Ap Lei Chau Homing Centre, 21 Main Street, if you would like to meet her.

Betty is going to be a stunning adult

Sunday is Whiskers N Paws puppy time of course, and I'm feeling a lot more optimistic this week about adoptions.  There will be some new additions of course, as I have been to AFCD and that has an inevitable result, but it's the slightly older puppies that I have high hopes for, those like siblings Betty, Linus and Turner, and also Laura and Bina, both in foster.

Laura loves her walks and is fully toilet trained at home

Laura has been in three different foster homes now and they have all said what a very happy and easy girl she is.  Surely the time has come for someone to sign on the dotted line and make her a permanent family member?

Bina is also a very sweet girl 

Bina was also very popular when she first arrived but for some reason wasn't ever adopted, and both she and Laura aren't going to be large-sized adults.

I'm hoping for a busy Sunday afternoon this weekend

There are a lot of new Peak to Fong photos up on our Hong Kong Dog Rescue Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/hkdogrescue/  so please take a look and see if you can spot yourself and your dog(s) there.  Everyone had such a great time and I'm happy to report that this was our best ever Peak to Fong result in terms of money raised.  Thank you again to everyone who contributed, from sponsors to participants and the amazing volunteers.
