Thurs 30th May: Two more lovely young/small dogs added

Mother/sister Pippa

I can't remember the last time we had so many young and smaller-sized dogs available, and another two were added to the happy play group today when I took a poodle/terrier-cross pair from AFCD.  I'm sure they have one of those fancy designer breed names which includes a "doodle" or a "poo" but I'm not even going to begin going down that road because to me they're just gorgeous, happy and friendly little dogs, with the added bonus of having the type of coat that suits people with allergies to dog hair.  They're siblings, and are actually mother and father to a puppy that AFCD won't release just yet (and again I'm not going to even start on that story and my frustration).  Now called Pippa and Biggles, the family ended up at AFCD without microchips so I had to estimate an age once again, and I made them two years old.  They are definitely young dogs, and they were so happy to be released from their isolation today (even the puppy was kept separated from his mother) that they immediately started to play with the other dogs.  They will be going to be desexed on Friday so won't be available to meet until the weekend, but if you're interested in either or both, please complete the Adoption Questionnaire on our website www.hongkongdogrescue.com (under Adopt).

Minto has a new and forever family home

"French corgi" puppy Minto was adopted today, while puppy Jenny (Dudley's best friend) was taken home for fostering with a view to adoption.

Noddy and Big Ears in foster

German shepherd-cross puppies, Noddy and Big Ears, went to Acorn today along with many others needing checks and vaccinations, and it was the first time I'd actually met them as they had been taken straight to their foster home.  Unfortunately they have a fungal skin infection (which is now being treated) so Noddy's tail has some hair loss, but they are a gorgeous pair and with the sweetest temperament.  Big Ears looks like a real German shepherd, complete with sloping back and those unfortunate back legs that has become standard for the breed, while Noddy is a ball of fluffy love.

This weekend is a busy one with puppies going to Concordia Pet Care in Happy Valley on Saturday afternoon, and Whiskers N Paws on Sunday, but remember you can meet puppies any day of the week at our Ap Lei Chau Homing Centre.  The five tiny black-and-white babies  won't be at the puppy events as we don't want them to be stressed by over-handling, especially by children, but they are available to meet at the Centre.  They have now been separated from their maybe-mother, Amber, and she's certainly relieved to be free of the demands of little kiddies with sharp baby teeth trying to suck non-existent milk from her.

Amber is happy to be free of her maternal chores
