Sun 26th April: Never a shortage of choice at Tai Po

Piper had a good walk in the morning

Following the visit to Lamma by Ap Lei Chau Homing Centre Manager Iris, and staff member Suet, we decided to give Piper a chance to find a home as so many people are asking about small-to-medium dogs that we don't currently have.  Piper had been sent over to Lamma after finding the Homing Centre environment too stressful, but he's been very happy away from "boarding school" so this morning he made the trip back to Ap Lei Chau.  Iris took him for a walk to calm him down after the boat ride and he was fine meeting a potential adopter, but as the day progressed his anxiety about being in a smallish space with lots of playing dogs and puppies started up again so he's now back on Lamma.   If anyone is seriously interested in meeting Piper with a view to adoption we can arrange a meeting, but please complete the adoption questionnaire as a first step.  It's at www.hongkongdogrescue.com/adopt/adoption-questionnaire/

Chihuahua puppy Zelda was in-and-out

One small dog who had come to us very recently was adopted today, and that was Zelda the chihuahua puppy.  We hadn't needed to advertise her already having so many people wanting small dogs, and Zelda has now joined a wonderful chihuahua family.  The breed used to be very popular but are less so now, so we're all happy that she's gone to a home that knows and loves chihuahuas.

We had several visitors at our Tai Po Homing Centre, and as is often the case there are so many lovely dogs to choose from that a second visit is necessary before making a decision.   The three new dogs from AFCD, Bella, Milo and Coco, are settling in well, and there's never a shortage of choice that's for sure.
