Tues 23rd June: Some very good news

Jumping straight in with the good news, my little dog Murphy is on the mend after a bout of acute gastritis which had me worried sick that he was dying, not an unreasonable assumption given his age and that fact that he has cancer.   It's also a double challenge when my Lamma dogs suddenly fall ill because of the difficulty in getting them to a vet, but luckily Iris was able to sort out some medication which was sent over by boat from Ap Lei Chau and which did the trick.

Jack loved the dog park and playing with hs friends

The second piece of good news is that our lovely boy Jack had his adoption confirmed after moving from his foster home for a trial with a new family and resident dog.  More than anything I'd been waiting for a home for Jack where there would be another dog for him because he loved his friends at the HKDR office, and playing with them at the dog park.  When I received an adoption enquiry from a potential home which sounded just right I asked them to meet Jack, and now he's been confirmed as a forever family member.

Carter and Jackson are two lucky pups!

After their vet check and vaccinations, the two new baby pups Carter and Jackson were ready to go to their new home together, while the third of the all-girl "Sugarbabe" litter was taken for a trial.

Now only Sugar is still waiting

Gorgeous Bailey

One older puppy is now also ready and waiting to move to a new forever home after a much longer-than-expected stay in his foster home due to a stubborn case of tick fever that refused to go away.  After trying the usual treatments and them not working, there was just one option left and luckily this time it seems to have done the trick.  Having had tick fever does mean the door is closed for Bailey going to some countries, but not everyone plans to move to New Zealand or Australia so I think it's OK.  On the plus side Bailey has been living with the same lovely family since he was a baby pup so he's had the best of care and is more than ready for his next big adventure, a forever home.   If you're interested in this lovely boy please let Cindy know by emailing foster@hongkongdogrescue.com to arrange a meeting.

Beagle Bailey is 7 years old

Unfortunately Bailey's name is the same as beagle Bailey who is also still waiting for a home, so please make sure you mention which one you're interested in.
