Sun 26th July: Rearranging space at Ap Lei Chau

I love this adoption update so much:

Buckie was Kayak as a puppy

Thank you @HKDR_official for the perfect boy 😇 Never did I know that 唐狗 is so special, until I met my boy. The most affectionate, loyal and silly dog! Ashamed to say that I used to care so much about the breed and looks of a dog..(I only had huskies before 😅)
There are so many dogs waiting to be adopted! Take them home instead of buying from a pet shop. I promise you it’s sooo worth it!

We have so many potential adopters asking about this breed and that, but honestly I can tell you the mixed breeds are simply gold. When I look at some of my Lamma dogs who have been with me since they were puppies purely due to bad luck and timing, I can't help but think that some family missed out on having the most amazing companions.  I feel lucky in a way that I'm the one who ended up with them because they bring me so much love and happiness, but that's not how it's supposed to be.  These dogs should have been adopted a long time ago, but that's history now.  I just don't want the same for other beautiful, soft, smart and loving individals.

Lucky little Wellie

Little Wellie won't be one of those left behind because he was adopted today, the first of his family of three who came to us recently.  Another group of three sister puppies also came to us and will go straight to foster care until old enough to be separated, that is unless someone wants to adopt a pair.

These lucky girls are going to a foster home together

We did some rearranging at our Ap Lei Chau Homing Centre in anticipation of a group of new small dogs arriving, although in the end they didn't turn up.  Still it was probably time to make some changes to the front area of the Centre where some shy puppies had grown into doglets, and timid doglets are now young adults.  Three of the latter have now moved upstairs, along with the dog house they all like to squeeze into together, while sisters Cora and Oddie, plus beautiful-but-shy Charlie, will have to go to Tai Po for the next stage of their training and socialisation.

Charlie will move to Tai Po on Monday

Alex, Feta and Emma are now upstairs (with house)

We have some dogs coming to us this week who are a family of five losing their home.  The father is a husky, the mother a terrier, so the offspring somewhere between the two.  The husky will be the first to be delivered to our Tai Po Centre, and I really don't want him to have to stay there in this intense heat we're experiencing.  He's not a young dog and this will be the first time in his life he will be without his dog family, so can anyone please give him an indoor space with air conditioning?  Please email foster@hongkongdogrescue.com if you can help.

Fire the husky is 12 years old

The rest of the terrier-husky family will come this week if anyone is interested.  Please complete the adoption questionnaire at www.hongkongdogrescue.com/adopt/adoption-questionnaire/ as a first step.
