Sun 16th Feb: Half and half

Leo and Libra were adopted at our Homing Centre

I was expecting it to be too cold to be outside on the Whiskers N Paws terrace today, so suggested that we only took half of the available puppies as we'd need to be inside and there wasn't room for all.  That's why the puppy afternoon ended up being split between our own Ap Lei Chau Homing Centre and Whiskers N Paws, luckily quite close to each other, with siblings Oscar and Emmy being adopted from one, and Sidney, Leo and Libra from the other.  Five puppies finding home was a lovely surprise, wherever it happened, and the only disappointment was that the Boat Litter weren't chosen as they're perhaps the loveliest of all in terms of character, and good looking too.

What really helped Emmy's adopters decide on her was because she had been in a foster home and her temporary family were there to talk about her and explain how perfectly toilet trained she was, how sociable and happy.  In fact the adoption photo shows both families and explains the sad face on one little girl who was desperate about losing her puppy, but they will stay in touch.  Foster homes really make such a difference and we very much appreciate the help in so many ways.  If yu can foster a puppy please email Cindy at foster@hongkongdogrescue.com for information.

Sloop's foster parents say she's the smartest and happiest puppy, and they love her to bits.

Emmy and Oscar's brother, Wilf, is also in a loving foster home who adore the funny pup, and although he wasn't one of the lucky ones today you can learn all about him and his fantastic character if you're interested.   You can see lots of photos of Wilf and the others in the two albums we have of the Whiskers N Paws afternoon, thanks to Jocelyn Chiu Puppy Adoption Day 16 February 2020 - Part 1 and Marco Lam (photos not yet uploaded, and with Oscar's adoption photo).

Wilf is also in a wonderful foster home

I'm really very pleased that despite the cold and all of the other issues (which I prefer not to include in my blogs) people are still coming to meet the dogs at the Homing Centres, and even better adopting.  Although no dogs left Tai Po today there are several hopefuls, and another small dog was taken for a trial from Ap Lei Chau.  Pomeranian-cross Igloo has to get along with ex-HKDR spitz Lego, and if they can be friends then it will be a permanent home.  Fingers crossed.
