Thurs 22nd Aug: New arrivals

One mix of whatever
I was out all afternoon doing things related to the upcoming fundraiser "Bohemian Pupsody" but got back to Ap Lei Chau just as four new smaller dogs had been dropped off by Kaz of Freedom Rides (and thanks once again for this wonderful delivery service).  We had no idea what to expect even though I'd seen photos of a couple of poodle types, because often what turns up is completely different from what we've been told.  Once again one of the poodles wasn't included, and instead we got two black poodles, a brindle-coloured mix that resembles a long-haired dachshund and another short-legged mix of whatever.   One of the poodles had a bad case of scabies (mange) so we immediately separated him from the other three, and on Thursday they'll all go to Acorn for a proper health and age assessment, plus licensing and vaccinations.
A bit of dachshund perhaps?


It appears that these four new dogs haven't come from the same place as the many previous small dogs we've taken in over the past few months so I'm not sure that they're going to be ready or suitable for the weekend adoption events.  The previous intakes were all in good condition, young and friendly, so I really won't know until after Friday's vet visit what the situation will be.  Of course we still have plenty of puppies, young and a bit older, small-sized up to large, so there's not shortage of candidates for WeWork in Central on Saturday, 1pm to 4pm, or Whiskers N Paws on Sunday at the usual time of 2pm to 5pm. Remember to complete the Adoption Questionnaire in advance if you're planning on coming to any outside adoption events or our Homing Centres, and you can find the form on our website www.hongkongdogrescue.com (under Adopt).
