Weds 25th Dec: Open for Christmas

Tatum heading off to her forever home

I hope everyone enjoyed the holiday today, and thank you to all volunteers who ventured out to help at the two Homing Centres. Facebook was, of course, awash with greetings from round the world making me appreciate the more positive side of social media and how it keeps people connected.  Our ex-HKDR dogs and their families are scattered around the globe, enjoying their special day in sun and snow, and I do love to see photos and receive updates.

Also proving that yes, we were open on Christmas Day as on every other day of the year, Tatum left our Tai Po Homing Centre with her new family so she could celebrate in the comfort of a real home.  There's no better gift in the world than that.

It wasn't quite such a happy day at Ap Lei Chau as two of the baby pups in foster were suddenly brought back without notice, so Iris had to quickly rearrange the other puppies and their living space to accommodate the returnees.  As much as we really value and appreciate foster homes there has to be some level of commitment, or at least warning if dogs or puppies are coming back.

Now we have two little puppies, five to six weeks old and in need of a new temporary home if anyone is open to taking them.  All food, beds and everything else will be provided, and they don't need to attend the Whiskers N Paws Sunday adoption afternoons yet as they're still too young.  Please email Cindy at foster@hongkongdogrescue.com if you can help out.

Which reminds me, we'll be at Whiskers N Paws for the last puppy session of 2019 this Sunday, and the first of 2020 the following weekend. Here again are the photo albums from last Sunday afternoon to remind you of the gorgeous puppies available (photos by Matt Baker)

Sweet Georgia at our Ap Lei Chau Homing Centre

You can also visit our Ap Lei Chau Homing Centre any other day to meet those that are staying there, like beautiful Georgia and her friend Santa.

Thank you to everyone who sent greetings today, and while I had my usual Wednesday at home I will be enjoying a lovely break on Boxing Day Thursday so will be out of touch for the afternoon.

Merry Christmas everyone!
