Sat 23rd Dec: The sun returns for Christmas Eve

Honey asked Santa for a forever home
Yes, we are open!  We open every single day of the year, every holiday included, but I know I'm going to get asked that question over Christmas and New Year.  In fact we'll be at Whiskers N Paws on Sunday too, bringing along all the hopefuls, except Honey who'll be staying forever in her foster home. Santa obviously granted her wish, and come to think of it the same happened to Betty, the other now-adopted puppy who had her photo taken with Father Christmas at Whiskers N Paws a couple of Sundays ago.  Maybe there's really something in this making-a-Christmas-wish thing after all.
Betty-now-Azula also had her photo taken with Santa

We've been receiving quite a lot of enquiries but not translating into actual adoptions, although we have so many lovely dogs of all sizes waiting including the two beautiful English pointer puppies Teddy and Dolly at Tai Po, and many small dogs at Ap Lei Chau (just not puppies).  I was sure the two Cavalier King Charles spaniels, William and Harry, would have been adopted by now as they are such sweet and affectionate boys, but their time will come I know.

Look at Jelly now!
I was very happy to see a new photo of Jelly the peke, the female half of the two surrendered to AFCD.  While the male, Mr Bean, sadly had to be euthanised, Jelly has bounced back after having had her bad teeth taken out and given a course of antibiotics for a skin infection.  It's very sad that any dog is allowed to just deteriorate while the owners do nothing about it, when it's really not that difficult to take proper care of any animal.

  1. The difference in Jelly is remarkable! Merry Christmas to you, Sally, everyone at HKDR, and to the dogs who now have bright futures ahead of them.
