Mon 25th Nov: Yay for bendy-legged Alfie!

Alfie may have bendy legs but now he has a home of his own!

In amongst the deluge of surrender emails there was one very happy and heartwarming message from long-term Tai Po volunteer Terry.  He'd taken bendy-legged Alfie home to see how he was going to fit in with the other dogs, and although it was supposed to be a week's trial the adoption was confirmed after just a day.   Poor Alfie, born with a severe leg deformity, is now lucky Alfie, proud to be adopted and have a family of his own.

We're coming into a difficult time of year for adoptions, and whether it's connected to the recent troubles or not, a lot of people seem to be abandoning their dogs at the moment.  Newly-surrendered German shepherd, Victor, went for a check-up today and was found to be heartworm positive, yet another one whose ex-owner failed to give any protection against the disease.  As I've said many times before, if you live outside the city and don't protect your dog against the mosquito-borne infection, it's pretty much guaranteed.

Victor is handsome and friendly

As a reminder to anyone who didn't see yesterday's post, we have a lot of puppies available for adoption at the moment and here's another set a of photos which came too late to be included  Puppy Adoption Day 24 November 2019 - Part 5.  Sunday's Whiskers N Paws afternoons are when you can see all of the puppies together at the same time but that doesn't mean you can't meet them on any other day.  Our Homing Centres are open every single day without fail, and meetings can be arranged for any of the puppies lucky enough to be staying in foster homes, and that currently includes the remaining four small-sized Seasons litter.

This coming Sunday is Pulse to Fun day, and although I'm going to be there for the 11am start and for most of the event, I'll be heading over to Whiskers N Paws for the puppy afternoon later on and it will start at 2pm as usual.

Thanks to our very supportive sponsors for guaranteeing that Sunday is going to be an amazing and fun-filled event, and for everyone who has already bought their ticket T-shirts.  There's still time to buy at any of the retail outlets listed on our website, or at either of the Homing Centres.  Here's the quick link to find all the information about the event https://hongkongdogrescue.com/p2f2019/  so I hope to see you there!
