Sun 23rd Dec: All the action was at Tai Po today

Tai Po Homing Centre was the place to be today as a few dogs were chosen to become family members, including new girl Lisbeth. Although she won't actually be going home until Christmas Day, she paid a visit to the office to make sure her file was correctly marked as "Adopted".

Enya was another lucky girl taken for a trial, and having seen the photo of the home she's gone to I'm really hoping she'll be staying for ever.

Another new boy, Stubby, also looks set to be leaving in a couple of days and we're looking forward to a last-minute rush to adopt on Christmas Eve as there have been quite a few enquiries.

The change of weather from warm and sunny to damp and pretty miserable didn't help the puppies at Whiskers N Paws, even if they had a lovely time playing and being cuddled. Big thanks to Yvonne Chan for her lovely set of photos of the afternoon Puppy Adoption Day 23 December 2018

Jumble had his adoption formalised after having been taken home from a previous Saturday puppy afternoon at Concordia Pet Care in Happy Valley, and he stayed for a while to enjoy some running around.

Three-legged Perry made his first appearance at a puppy afternoon, but stuck close to his big foster brother.  He's doing very well, and of course is completely unaware that he is any different from all of the other puppies.

Rose and Pollen are 5 months old now and perfect for adoption

It's really time that sisters Rose and Pollen found their forever families, and although they're not super-pretty in the classical sense these two girl have got so much personality.  They're smart, funny, loving and will be no bigger than medium sized as adults.  I know exactly what they will look like as I have one just the same living with me on Lamma, and I can guarantee they will both be perfect family dogs.  They're currently staying full time at Whiskers N Paws so you can meet them during opening hours at the store.

All of our puppies are also available for adoption any day of the week at our Ap Lei Chau Homing Centre, open every single day from 10am to 6pm including Christmas Day and Boxing Day.

I'll be semi-working this coming week but hoping to at least avoid any emergency vet visits or having to pick up baby puppies from AFCD, although of course I'll be on standby if needed.  I'd like to wish all of my readers and HKDR supporters a very Merry Christmas, but most of all I'd love to see more dogs and puppies being welcomed into new homes before the end of 2018.  It's the reason I do what I do, and why we are all here.
