Fri 13th Sept: Happy Mid-Autumn Festival to all

There's lots of high-end wines for just $50
Friday the 13th is traditionally an unlucky date but we made it through without any accidents or disasters, although our driver took the day off so there wasn't much going on anyway.  I spent the afternoon at the Ap Lei Chau Homing Centre unpacking and sorting the boxes of wines that had been donated, and there's a huge choice from around the world if you're a wine drinker.   We're selling at $50 a bottle and $500 for a case of twelve, so you can come to our Ap Lei Chau Homing Centre any day to pick your own.  Ka Yan did a bit of research and found that even the cheapest wines retail in the shops for over $120, and there are many that are much more expensive.  Please remember that every single dollar raised through these sales will go directly towards helping the dogs, so consider every bottle bought as a donation to HKDR and stock up for Christmas.
Box is such a sweet bulldog cross

Bulldog cross Box was watching the unpacking with interest hoping for some attention himself,  which Yannie gave as she was passing.  Box is a lovely dog who is smaller than an average bulldog and has the advantage of having a full nose so no breathing problems. He's affectionate and young at three years, and he loves tummy rubs and ear scratches from anyone willing to give them.

We now have six new dogs or puppies, not sure yet, coming to our Ap Lei Chau Homing Centre on Saturday, and as always we're asking that anyone interested in adoption complete the questionnaire on our website www.hongkongdogrescue.com (under Adopt) as a first step.

You can be Freddie for a night next Saturday 21st September
It's just one week until this year's fundraiser "Bohemian Pupsody" takes place, and as I haven't really had much spare time recently to sort myself out I'm setting aside some of Saturday to get my outfit together.  There are still tickets available if you're thinking about coming (please do), but we already have a good crowd to make the party really rock, and we're fully encouraging audience participation so be prepared to have a great time.  Here's the link for ticket information https://hongkongdogrescue.com/event/charityparty/sponsors/?fbclid=IwAR0rogaxQn57xFUbHFiF8-XSbsGdY7nbFlBgnxVWkQhqP8BLQkTQqqNIHso

We're incredibly lucky to have amazing sponsors and donors for the event, as well as
rich creation international ltd 富創國際有限公司 providing the table decorations and floor displays.  Nobody can do it better, and we can't thank Clive Miners enough for his support and input.  By the way, everything is for sale at the end of the evening and again everything goes directly towards helping the dogs so don't be shy about grabbing that piece from the table and taking it home.
