This is the first Sunday for a very long time where there are no adoptions to write about, not that we don't have lots of enquiries or even potential adopters coming to meet the dogs. It's just that we're trying to prevent future issues, that in many cases seem to be inevitable, by approving adoptions that just don't quite fit. For example, most enquiries are for small or small-medium sized dogs and puppies, and now that we currently don't have any available, visitors to our Ap Lei Chau Homing Centre are drawn to the puppies that are still small due to their young age but may become large-sized adults. It's one thing to say that it will be OK if they grow to be big dogs, but the reality of it may well be very different, so we would really prefer that these puppies go to homes that are actively looking for a larger size.

I was happy to be able to help one of our past adopters when she asked for help in getting their dog Toffee to the UK when the arrangements they had already made had fallen through. With direct flights to London having gone up massively in price (in this case from $28,000 to $58,000), the options are either to pay a huge amount to fly a single dog, or to look at other choices. For Toffee's family, and with the help of International Pet Travel, Toffee made it by flying Qatar Airlines via Doha.
