Sat 27th June: Happy links to happy dogs

Tumbler was one of the lucky dogs having a day out

It was another blisteringly hot day but I was so happy to see the photos of some Tai Po dogs enjoying a day out with a group of volunteers.

Happy Woof is at Tung Lung Chau 東龍洲.

We try our best to provide more than just a place for the dogs to stay while they're waiting to be adopted, because we know for some that wait could be a very long one and maybe even forever.  That's why as much as possible our dogs live in enclosures where they have space and companionship, and a variety of activities thanks to our dedicated volunteers.

Who remembers Rio?  She graduated from traning in May

It's also hugely rewarding to see photos of the Positive Partners training courses and to recognise the dogs who were once those same Tai Po residents, or who were adopted as ex-HKDR puppies and are now growing up.   These photos are from May's classes  HKDR Positive Partners 老友狗狗 added 30 new photos to the album Positive Partners - May 2020.

Ex-Tai Po dog Prudence became Pepper when adopted

The monthly classes are booked up well in advance so if you're interested in attending please sign up as soon as you can.  🐶 To join us:

I also previously mentioned that we were in the process of producing an information booklet for all adopters, and I've just finished the final proof reading so we should be going to print very soon. We understand that the adoption moment is an exciting one and that information given at the time is quickly forgotten, so this booklet will be a reminder of everything you need to know.

For more great photos of our Ap Lei Chau Homing Centre dogs you can always check out volunteer and supporter Eagle's Facebook page.

Nico, Blanco and Carrot are more "pink" than "red"

 I'd love to share them all but he's a sweet shot of three "Red" dogs that are considered to be more pink than actually red. 

They may not be suitable for homes with inexperienced adopters or children, but as you can see once they know and trust someone, they're absolutely fine.  We won't give up hope of them finding homes eventually, especially after having recently said a happy goodbye to poodle Bell.  If you're interested in know more about our Red Dogs, please just ask.
