Sat 22nd June: A very full day

The grroming workshop is always very popular 

We had a very full day today as it was the start of our Perfect Pet Parenting Workshop series, this first class being Practical Grooming Skills presented by our own Iris Wu.  Although primarily the Manager of the Ap Lei Chau Homing Centre, Iris is also a fully qualified groomer, by now also very experienced in handling nervous dogs and those that are likely to bite.  It was a full class again, as many dog-owning families are keen to learn these basic skills.

The next workshop in the series is "Happy Dog Parenting" teaching the basics of positive training and dog behaviour. The presenter will be our own very experienced and qualified trainer, Cactus, and you can sign up using this link if you are interested in attending http://hongkongdogrescue.com/workshops/happydogparenting/

Marina is a wonderful puppy, well chosen

Before leaving for our adoption event in Central today, sweet older puppy Marina was chosen for adoption and I was so happy to get the message as Marina has been overlooked despite having the most gentle and loving personality.  This family made a very good choice.

It was a bit of a drama getting the puppies and a few small adults to the WeWork venue in Central in the afternoon, as the first van that turned up to drive us there had no air conditioning in the back, and that's essential when you are transporting animals.  It took a long time to arrange a second van so we got to Wyndham Street much later than planned and the crowds were already forming so it was a challenge to set up the fencing and everything else.  Next time we'll have a better idea of what and how to do things, but regardless of the chaos it was a happy and successful event with three puppies going home and one of my favourite scruffy terriers, the female Congee.

Toby now has a big husky brother to take care of him too

Thanks to Yvonne Chan for a lovely set of photos  Puppy Adoption Day 22 June 2019 — at WeWork (LKF Tower) and to Mana Slow Fast Food for providing the very tasty and healthy wraps ( I know, because I took one home for my evening meal).  Huge thanks also to the volunteers who turned out to help, and thank goodness they were there as they were really needed and did a great job.

If you're looking for puppies to adopt we'll be back at Whiskers N Paws on Sunday, or you can visit our Ap Lei Chau Homing Centre any day of the year to meet them all.

Thankfully we had a great turnout of volunteers for the WeWork event

Hard to spot, but puppy Gunner is there somewhere
