Weds 19th June: Things are hotting up

Teddie Mercury

It's not only the weather that's hotting up right now, but also our "Bohemian Pupsody" fundraising event which is already coming together in a very exciting way.  It's not taking place until September but with a few of the organising team taking a summer break, as well as sponsors and other supporters also leaving for the month of July or even longer, we have to get as much done as we can before then.  We've come up with a whole new feel to the event so be prepared to have a great time, and if you want any information about sponsorship or even early ticket purchase please contact Gary at gary@hongkongdogrescue.com.

Puppies and yummy food, what a great combo

In addition to the established adoption venues such as very long-term supporters Whiskers N Paws and more recently Concordia Pet Care, we'll be at WeWork in Central on Saturday with a collection of puppies and smaller-sized dogs, as well as healthy and very tasty eats by Slow Fast Food Mana available.  As I'm going to be there myself, in addition to my regular Sunday slot at Whiskers N Paws, I'm hoping to take Friday off but I'm not holding my breath about that.

Otto morphing into Barry

Of course our Homing Centres at Tai Po and Ap Lei Chau are open every single day of the year if you want to meet the dogs and puppies at either location, and it was older puppy Otto's lucky day at Tai Po today.  He's the last of a large intake that came from AFCD at the same time, and from the sound of the news from his new family he's already settled in and made himself very confortable in his new home.  His name is now Barry.

Handsome new boy Gyro

While Otto-now-Barry was leaving, another dog arrive at the Homing Centre to take his place.  Now Gyro, this is a sweet boy who had been living at a construction site or similar, so while he's never had a real home he's used to people and is very friendly.  As with all of our new arrivals I can only wish him luck and hope that his time with us is happy but short, and that soon he will be living the dream just like all of the others that have been and gone before him.
