Julia is going to be medium-sized and has lots of energy |
Puppies have different personalities and energy levels, just like humans, and it's really important that the dog and adoptive family are a good match. For example, Judy is a very cute and fluffy girl who is also a ball of energy, so she needs a home that wants a lively companion. Julia is also a pretty girl who plays non-stop, but she's very sweet and will be a medium-sized adult. Having been in a foster home Julia is very used to apartment life and being part of a family, so that's a huge bonus. Lewis is a lab-alike who's going to grow into a big adult, but he's calm and quiet. Please do ask us to help you find the right personality and temperament for your home, and not choose a puppy on the way he or she looks. It's so important to get it right and that's what we're here for.
Judy would love a home with another dog and to have lots of playtime |
Bambi Yau was the volunteer photographer for the afternoon and she did a fantastic job which you can take a look at here Puppy Adoption Day 14 July 2019
Sahara was adopted today |
Fortunately not everyone wanted Patch, and one family who came to see older puppy Sadie (another lovely and easy girl) ended up adopting my recommendation of Sahara, probably the sweetest of all puppies ever. Sahara was one of the recent Stanley Barracks intake, and all of the dogs that come from there have obviously been treated very well and they have lovely temperaments.
Little Cat has found her forever family at last |
Tiny-now-Harvey, the gentle giant |
I'm looking forward to being able to share good news from Tai Po about several dogs who could/might be leaving soon, but I can confirm that Great Dane Tiny has found his new and forever home, and I can also guarantee that this is a Great Home (because I know the adopter).
With so much rain this year leptospirosis is back, and I've been getting reports of dogs being infected and even dying from all areas. Lepto, as it's commonly called, is transmitted via rat urine, and while it usually stays underground the heavy rain has brought the infected water to the surface so it's really important that you keep dogs away from fresh water catchments, and even streams that come down from the Peak for example. In my experience the vaccinations aren't 100% effective because like flu there are so many strains, and the best way to avoid your dog getting sick with this awful disease (which also affects humans) is to stay away from water. Take fresh drinking water for your dogs when you walk, and stick to the sea for swimming.
To end with some good news about two pet shop chains closing their puppy-selling activities, and I hope we can see this happening right across Hong Kong before too long https://www.scmp.com/lifestyle/article/3018384/pet-shop-chains-stop-selling-animals-highlight-cruelty-hong-kong-pet?fbclid=IwAR1FL8TZcBGiPNO19YJQw_KnVrkICmrl6cWKqJAHirOsZKW5PlKEmr6rA4M
