Thurs 24th Jan: Another eight lives saved

There are 4 tricolour and 2 tan, and I'm not sure if they are the same litter

I wasn't expecting it all when I took three older puppies to AFCD for their rabies vaccinations, but there were two three month-olds and a litter of six babies waiting to be taken out, so I did just that.  The six young ones weren't old enough to have their first vaccinations but they were checked over by Dr Joe at Acorn anyway, and we'll make sure they have good care until they are ready for their jabs.  Luckily we have two separate rooms at the Homing Centre where all of the new babies are being kept, but we really do need foster homes if anyone can take in a pair.  As always Cindy is on standby to take enquiries at foster@hongkongdogrescue.com, and all food, bedding, bowls etc will be provided and vet costs covered.

The other two older puppies are in good health and both are lovely, with Minty looking very much like an older version of some of the babies and Bernard being very large and possibly part Saint Bernard (hence the name).  They joined the other older puppies at the Ap Lei Chau Homing Centre and were given a good going-over before settling in, and they are immediately available for adoption.

We already had an adopter waiting for Tinker, the sister of two previous ex-breeder small-sized puppies, and she was taken home today with photos promised later. We're not sure what the mix is but it really doesn't matter when the pups are this cute.

Tinker is really very cute

We also have another adoption confirmed for Friday, and as this is an older puppy we're all thrilled about it but I'm going to save the name for tomorrow's blog.  There are plenty of other slightly older girls and boys that really need homes, and we hope they will be just as lucky before too long.  They are sisters Rose and Pollen, Ben and Mimsy, whose sister Bimble was adopted last Sunday and is doing so well.  The older puppies are much easier in many ways and we really do suggest that families with young children consider them over the very young ones.
