We needed the reinforcements as Timmy was adopted today and that left just puppies Theo and Tessa, Timmy's siblings, and Sugar.

It really has been a very strange year so far with so much going on worldwide and within Hong Kong particularly. I don't know why the protests and then coronavirus have affected the number of puppies needing homes, but even AFCD have had very few and we're all wondering where they're all going. It's not only HKDR that's experiencing this strange phenomenon, and while not having unwanted puppies being born is the ultimate goal we know for sure it hasn't happened yet. All I can think of is that the volunteers who are the ones who normally find such puppies aren't going out and about as much as they normally would be, and it's a sad and fightening thought that the stray-born puppies will either die from disease or starvation, or grow old enough to be having their own pups.
The newly arrived puppies will need to be health checked, vaccinated and microchipped before being available for adoption, but at least they'll be at the Homing Centre and can be seen.
One thing we do know is that a lot of dogs are being surrendered, or will be, due to the difficulties in flying them to other countries when their families leave Hong Kong. Today we took back Jelly for this reason, a Yorkshire terrier who was adopted from us a few years ago.
