 It feels a bit like treading water at the moment while we're waiting for new smaller dogs to arrive, and even though I keep being asked if we can accept young puppies they haven't turned up as expected.  We do have puppies available, lots of them in fact, both at the Ap Lei Chau Homing Centre and in foster homes, and one of them will never be seen because he's being adopted straight from foster.  This one is Bumpy, a singleton baby who was rescued and brought to us in early July. Bumpy was extremely lucky to be found alive and now doubly lucky as he has a home. 

One new dog did come in today, a young female almost-labrador who's now called Mandy.  I have a feeling she won't be waiting long for her forever family and as always please complete the adoption questionnaire if you're interested:  www.hongkongdogrescue.com/adopt/adoption-questionnaire/

We'll choose the home that we feel is most suitable and can offer Mandy the best life possible.  You can see from the photo that she hasn't had proper care, and in fact her previous owner moved out of the home and left Mandy behind.  Things can only get better from here. 

We don't know what sort of training, if any, that Mandy had in her old home but our own in-house trainer Cactus is always available to help as and when needed.  One thing I do need to mention is that many of our emails seem to end up in Spam inboxes and people think we haven't replied.  If you're expecting an email from us and it hasn't arrived, please do check your Spam mail.  It works the other way round too and emails sent to HKDR also get filtered as Spam, and who knows why. 

It's been such a long time since things were what we thought of as normal.  For myself I've adjusted to a new way of life which means working from home full time like so many others, and that's pretty easy given that AFCD seem to have almost no dogs or puppies and haven't had for a long time.  Even Sundays, which used to mean puppy afternoons at Whiskers N Paws are a fading memory, and the puppies can be seen every day at our own Ap Lei Chau Homing Centre instead.
