Sat 23rd March: Seven new arrivals

Dorothy and Chelsea will be at Whiskers N Paws on Sunday

Before I forget in all the fuss about the new ex-breeder/hoarder dogs, we will have four young puppies at Whiskers N Paws on Sunday as the then-babies are now growing up.  Following hot on their heels are the litter of seven, who will also soon be old enough to move from foster to forever homes.

Wicca is the only one from her litter still waiting for a home, but in the meantime she has been happily fostered.

A small-sized mixed breed came with the poodles

A sad and sorry group of itchy dogs

Obviously today was all about the five poodles and a Frenchie who arrived in two deliveries, plus a mixed breed who somehow got into the group.  We know from our current litter of small-sized mixed breed puppies that whatever went on in the breeder/hoarder establishment it seemed to be completely random as far as the pairing-up went, and poodles gave birth to pups that clearly didn't have poodle fathers.  Catherine (of Catherine's Puppies) has held back one poodle today who is pregnant and may give birth at any time, though what the pup(s) will be is anyone's guess.

I have already started to receive enquiries about the French bulldog but all of the dogs need to see a vet before we will consider letting them go.  They also need to be licensed, so if anyone is interested please start by completing the Adoption Questionnaire on our website www.hongkongdogrescue.com (under Adopt).  All of the new dogs have infectious skin issues which almost certainly include scabies and ringworm, so homes where there are children or other dogs will need to bear that in mind.  One thing I can say is that all are extremely sweet, and the skin is something that is easily treatable.

Miffy was adopted from her foster home

There have been a few dogs moving from foster to forever homes recently, or those on trial adoptions having their permanent status confirmed.   Miffy the terrier is one of the former, with puppy Minty the latter.

We knew Minty would do well in her new home
