Sat 28th Dec: Last Sunday of 2019 coming up

Alice going home 

Starting with the happy adoption news, small mixed breed Alice went home today from our Ap Lei Chau Homing Centre.  She's a lovely little dog, just a year old and with the sweetest temperament, and I'm sure she will make a fantastic addition to her new family.

Lula at her last Sunday session

Also having her adoption confirmed was puppy Lula, so she won't be coming back to Whiskers N Paws on Sunday, the last puppy party of the year, and decade.  As a reminder here are the photos from last weekend's session, an event which takes place every Sunday from 2pm to 5pm.

Puppy Adoption Day 22 December 2019 - Part 1

The $100 Challene ends on 31st December

We'll be bringing the $100 Challenge to a close at the end of the year, so if you've been thinking about taking part and haven't yet got round to it, now's the time.  As you'll all be aware this has been a tough year for HKDR, and most animal charities too I think, so every bit helps.  If you would rather just donate and not take part in the $100 Challenge that's obviously fine too, but whether it's for Christmas, the New Year or the upcoming Lunar New Year, please remember the dogs who need your help. https://hongkongdogrescue.com/donate/one-off-donations/

As I keep reminding everyone who comes to our Ap Lei Chau Homing Centre looking for a dog and doesn't find the perfect match immediately, we have new dogs arriving all the time so please keep checking back as well as reading my blog.  You'll always hear about newcomers here first, and I'm sure the anticipated poodle/schnauzer will be a popular boy.  He hasn't arrived yet but is expected on Sunday, and we're told he's two years old. I'll call him Schnitzel.

Lucy has a coat that's suitable for allergy sufferers

A lot of people ask about exotic poodle mixes, whether or not they have allergy problems, and I'm not sure what a poodle-schnauzer is called but both breeds have the type of coat that suits those who can't tolerate most dog hair.   It's not only poodles and schnauzers that are suitable for allergy sufferers, as there are several breeds or types that work too. 

Lucy at Tai Po is a mixed breed who is suitable for anyone needing that low-shedding type of dog, and she's a gorgeous mix of possibly giant schnauzer and Old English sheepdog (that's a guess).  She would love to be the only dog in the home and gets upset with young children playing and screaming around her, so what we're looking for is a home who wants a beautiful, sweet and gentle girl who can cuddle on the sofa as well as enjoying long walks in the countryside.  We know that perfect home is out there somewhere.   If you would like to adopt Lucy, or any of our many dogs waiting for homes, please complete the adoption questionnaire as a first step.  You can find it at https://www.hongkongdogrescue.com/adopt/adoption-questionnaire/
