Tues 12th Feb: Small, medium and large

Two of the three labradors, mother, father and son. 

We took in a family of three chocolate labradors when their owner was too old and sick to take care of them any longer, and although the dogs themselves are mature adults we're hoping they will find new homes before too long, given their breed.  It was sad to see how excited they were when arriving at the Tai Po Homing Centre as this was the first time they had experienced anything outside of their home since they were puppies eight or nine years ago.  Too many people think that having a garden means never having to walk their dog, but that's not the case.  Taking a dog out is more than just good exercise, it's also an opportunity to experience new smells, and to socialise.  Being kept in a garden is nothing more than a large prison in the end, and all dogs deserve more than that.  If you are interested in giving these sweet labradors a home, please complete the adoption questionnaire on our website www.hongkongdogrescue.com (under Adopt).  Preference will be given to potential adopters who can take more than one, as you can imagine these three are very closely bonded.

3 little "kittens"

At the other end of the size scale, the three Kitten Pups that are still at our Ap Lei Chau Homing Centre will be making their debut at Concordia Pet Care this Saturday, along with Guppy who was taken for fostering with Kipper, now adopted.  Of course they are available before Saturday if you want to meet them at the Homing Centre, and the same adoption questionnaire applies.

Medium-sized Jack (with Gumbo) is in charge of play at the office

While medium-sized young Jack was showing the new shiba inu puppy Gumbo how to play for hours on end, ex-office dog Nancy dropped by after having donated some of her blood at Acorn for a sick dog.  She wanted to go back upstairs to her old home, and it makes me very sad to know this super-sweet girl is still waiting for a home.  She was originally adopted as a baby pup before being abandoned when her owners left Hong Kong, and of course we took her back.  I hope that someone will give her another chance at showing what a lovely girl she is.
