Tues 24th Dec: The day before Christmas

Reindeer Melanie
Although this post is about Christmas Eve, as it's actually Christmas Day now I would like to wish you all a very Merry Christmas, along with thanks to everyone who will still be working throughout the holidays at our Ap Lei Chau and Tai Po Homing Centres.  Yes, every day is adoption day at HKDR, so you don't need to wait for the weekend or any special adoption event to come and meet the dogs and puppies (and reindeer) and take one home.

We were lucky to be able to send the remaining three new baby pups to a foster home today, as well as Jack Russell girl Russo who was adopted.  In fact she has a stand-by home too, so even if this doesn't work out we know Russo has a forever home.
Russo was adopted today


As I was leaving the Homing Centre to go home I passed the dog park where I like to watch the Ap Lei Chau dogs playing if they're out.  I was especially happy to see our new poodle Mercury skipping around like a lamb and really enjoying himself.  When he first arrived he was untouchable, but it's only been a couple of weeks and he's improved so much.  He still needs some time but I think he'll be fine, maybe not with young children (at least not yet), but the change has been quite incredible, and as he's still a very young dog, just one to two years old, he's got a long time ahead of him to enjoy. 
Mercury has been with us for just 2 weeks 

If you're interested in meeting Mercury, or any of our HKDR dogs or puppies, please complete the adoption questionnaire as a first step.  It's at www.hongkongdogrescue.com/adopt/adoption-questionnaire/
