Sat 4th July: More lucky pups

Gorgeous Tessa and her new family

I was wondering if we'd have any puppies left to go to Whiskers N Paws on Sunday when the puppy afternoons start up again after an enforced break.  During the period since we were last there we have always had puppies available at our Ap Lei Chau Homing Centre, as we do anyway, and today three more were chosen to start their new lives as family members.  I knew Tessa would be one of them as she had a lot of people asking about her, and had the lucky family who took her home hadn't done so there was another family waiting to step in.

Shy boy Denzil is a lucky puppy

While Tessa's adoption was expected, I was surprised to hear that new puppy boy Denzil had also been chosen because he's quite shy.  Both he and one of the new black puppies, Diana, who also has a home now, will have to be microchipped and vaccinated before they can actually leave, but that will be done on Sunday morning.

Diana's going home on Sunday

Bobby loves his toys

The four labradors are making good progress in their respective foster homes, and they're all lovely dogs.  Due to neglect in their previous situation they have all needed a lot of veterinary treatment including surgery for the removal of various nasty lumps and bumps, as well as deep ear infections. This is Bobby's update from his foster home:  "He’s doing fantastic. He loves to walk and he has mastered stairs.  He also loves to play ball and is doing retrieve and bring back.  He has a great nature and wants to play."


If you're interested in giving any of the labradors a forever retirement home, please complete the adoption questionnaire at www.hongkongdogrescue.com/adopt/adoption-questionnaire/

Thank you.
