Mon 31st Aug: Is it really autumn already?

 Just catching the August adoption numbers, two former Tai Po residents had their adoptions confirmed today, Paddington and Samuel.

Paddington had been with us for many years so it was fantastic to know that the wait for a home and family was finally over, and thank you to his adopters for giving him this opportunity to experience this kind of life. 

Samuel was one of the lucky ones in that he didn't have to wait too long to be chosen, but we suspect his previous life was an unhappy period so he also deserved to have a real home. 

Paddington and Samuel missed out on the new Uber offer which has just been announced for the month of September, so please remember to read the details if you want to take advantage of this:

Another baby puppy arrived at our Ap Lei Chau Homing Centre today, apparently a sibling of the last one that was found and sent to us.  Today's foundling Nathan had infected skin all over his back, so Iris needed to shave off the hair to check for bites or anything that needed treatment.  There was nothing obvious so we assume it was was just exposure to the harsh environment and the recent rain, so for now Nathan is wearing a little coat to cover his baldness. 

These very young babies aren't available for adoption at the moment but we do have quite a few waiting at our Ap Lei Chau Homing Centre, with more due back from their foster homes very soon.  Take a look at these videos of just some of the youngsters hoping to find homes:  https://www.facebook.com/hkdogrescue/videos/3523954377656432
