Mon 27th April: Good news with sad

The good news is that Hong Kong seems to be moving back to some sense of normality even though the government restrictions haven't officially been lifted, and that means people going back to their offices rather than working from home.   The bad news is that foster dogs who have been enjoying a temporary home life will need to return, and that's really very sad.

Dimple is already back at the Ap Lei Chau Centre

Dimple is already back at the Ap Lei Chau Homing Centre even though her foster home gave her glowing reviews, and there's also Bishi, who came to us as a puppy with brother Mitsu, and Ovaltine from Tai Po.

“We have been happily fostering Bishi for more than two weeks and we fell in love with him immediately. 11-month-old Bishi has settled in very well since day one. Being a very affectionate and laid-back dog, all he wants is your attention with tons of belly rubs! He is doing very well in learning basic commands and he has made great improvement on his daily walks. With his easy going and loving personality, he will be perfect for first-time owners. Bishi is also toilet-trained, I wish he will find his furever home soon!”

Beautiful Bishi

Ap Lei Chau office dog Otis also went to a short-term foster home and is proving to be a very easygoing character, as we knew he was, and also undemanding in terms of exercise.  Otis is more of a couch potato, although he does like his strolls and is fully toilet trained so needs to go out for calls of nature.

Maybe one of the other "back to normal" things will be that we'll start getting more of the smaller dogs and puppies coming in as we used to, but for the moment it's really one by one.  Pom Lily was adopted today so she's no longer available, but we do have two year-old Lizzie.   Lizzie has a heart problem which will be fully investigated at the time she goes for her desexing surgery, but for now she's perfectly happy and loves her walks.

Puppy Noddy also had his adoption confirmed by his foster home, and other than taking him and his  siblings from AFCD together I barely even saw him.   His sisters Oddie and Cora are staying at our Ap Lei Chau Homing Centre but share a family shyness which makes them very different from happy and friendly pups Pepsi and Cherry.
