Mon 28th Jan: So much choice for adopters now

Frodo 3 years old

We've got so many lovely dogs currently available, and I wonder who the lucky adopters will be knowing that with the Lunar New Year coming up a lot of people are putting adoption plans on hold until after the holiday.  In addition to the very sweet three smaller dogs that arrived over the weekend (terrier Miffy, corgi Taffy and pug Twiggy) we received two more adorable boys, two year-old poodle Bilbo and three year-old Bichon Frodo, who may have come from the same home via AFCD.  You'll have to be quick to adopt any of these little ones as they are all very happy and friendly, ideal family members.

Bilbo 2 years old

The two large dogs that arrived today are also lovely, and although I immediately thought of now-Bali being a male, he's actually a she and a very easygoing dog, estimated by AFCD to be around five years of age.

Bali is a lovely girl! 

The Malinois is only a year old and also very friendly, but this is a breed that needs exercise-plus.  Tireless and very smart, there's a reason they have taken over from German shepherds as police dogs, so obviously we need a home that can provide lot of mental and physical activity.

I'm still thinking of a name for this handsome boy

I stopped off briefly at AFCD to have the corgi Taffy and terrier Miffy licensed before meeting up up pug Twiggy at Acorn, and I'm happy to report that for a change there are no tick fever or heartworm cases.  We'll have to wait until Tuesday to see whether the newest dogs are similarly free of the two main insect-borne diseases, and of the four I would suspect Bali as being the unlucky one.  I hope I'm wrong and they are all fine.

Pollen on Sunday

I was so happy to get the best possible update on older puppy Rose who was adopted on Sunday: "She has been brilliant. She is settling in fast and Betty and her are getting on better than we could have hoped! A happy dog, and a credit to everyone who has looked after her before."   Rose's sister Pollen is still available for anyone who wants a very easy, happy and medium-sized family member.

We've been lucky in finding a new member of staff to work at our Ap Lei Chau Homing Centre, so thank you for anyone who has applied or has been planning to do so.
