Sun 27th Jan: It's Rose!

This girl is young but in poor condition and blind in one eye

We took in yet another new dog at our Ap Lei Chau Homing Centre today, a lucky escapee from the House of Horrors that is either an illegal breeder, a hoarder or just some crazy person who keeps a lot of dogs in terrible conditions and lets them multiply.  Today's pug is obviously related to one we took earlier, or several, as she has the same brindle colouring and strange eyes, one larger than the other, that is possibly a genetic defect which is being passed on.   None of these dogs are microchipped so on Monday I'll be taking this pug (crossed with French bulldog?) to AFCD for licensing, along with the terrier and corgi that came to us on Friday and Saturday.

This boy reminds me of my previous dog Bali

In addition on Monday we have another group of dogs coming from AFCD in Sheung Shui: a young poodle, bichon, Malinois and a very funny/nice-looking collie cross (or something).  It could be a collie/Old English sheepdog from the colouring.  Anyway there's no shortage of lovely dogs, large, small, older and young, all waiting for homes, as well as the puppies of course.

Rose was the lucky older puppy whose name I didn't want to mention yesterday, and she has gone off to join a lovely family where I know she'll have the best time.  Unfortunately we missed getting an adoption photo so I'll have to ask for one from the adopter.  With both Rose and Sassy now in their forever homes, there was a vacancy at Whiskers N Paws for two new guests and I chose Bernard and his friend Minty to stay behind rather than come back to the Homing Centre.

With no adoption photo of Rose, here's her identical sister Pollen

Second chance for Holly

Holly was another lucky puppy girl getting her second chance after a short-lived previous adoption, and we got the photo for this one.  Marco Lam was our volunteer photographer after a beak of a few months due to him welcoming a baby daughter into his family, and you can see his lovely set here (more photos will be added later):

 Puppy Adoption Day 27 January 2019

Thank you Audrey for sharing your birthday with the puppies

We were also happy to receive a very nice birthday donation from Audrey via Twopresents, and you too can help support HKDR in the same way by checking out the details at www.twopresents.com.
Thank you Audrey for your kindness.

It was graduation day for the  January participants of our popular Positive Partners training course held every Sunday at Whiskers N Paws, and you can see them here with trainers Cactus and Alice.
