Weds 18th July: A heartwarming visit

I love this photo of Airport with one of today's group visitors
Sometimes it's not just about adoptions, although they will always be our priority for obvious reasons.  Today we had a heart-warming visit from the Salvation Army Wah Fu Centre for Senior Citizens , and I think this photo is up there with some of my all-time favourites.  This is poodle Airport, who spent a long time at AFCD kennels after having been found running around (you guessed it) the airport, and who is now waiting for her forever family to choose her.  If you are interested in arranging any sort of group visit, please contact eva.loo@hongkongdogrescue.com for details.

The Salvation Army Wah Fu Centre Senior Citizens 


The Water Babies at our Ap Lei Chau Homing Centre have been given the names Paddle, Splash, Ocean, Mangrove and Water, and it was lucky Ocean who was the first to be taken home for fostering with a view to adoption, along with a teeny tiny puppy who was one of the most recent group from AFCD Sheung Shui.  I'm not sure if Midge is just the runt (smallest one) of the litter, or whether she's a singleton, but she's being well cared for in a temporary home now.
Magpie is a very easygoing puppy girl


Black-and-white Magpie was also chosen for a trial adoption today, and she just has to get along with the cats.  She's a very calm and well-behaved puppy so I'm sure everything will be fine from her side as it's almost always the cats who are the problem. Being the picky animals they are they sometimes refuse to accept intruders in their home but as always, with time and good management as well as help from our own HKDR trainer Cactus, it's rare that things don't work out eventually.
Ocean (centre) was taken for fostering today


Not surprisingly, the recently-surrendered one year-old pom was adopted today too, and he's going to be a very much loved "son".
Merlin wasn't with us for more than a few days
