I seem to be spending half my time getting the dogs in from the torrential rain and then letting them out again five minutes later, but I managed to time my short trip to Ap Lei Chau very well and missed getting wet, even if the boat ride was rocky. As I'm writing this on Saturday morning the sun is out and I'm hoping that many of the adoption enquiries we received will have positive results over the weekend, and I know that at least two puppies will have their lives changed when their adoption paperwork is completed. One of those is Mindy, and the other is Poppy (pictured meeting her big brother-to-be) who had only just moved to Whiskers N Paws as a guest. I feel confident to mention their names even before they've left because Poppy had two offers today so either way she's off the available list, while Mindy's new family have already met her are very excited about welcoming her to their home. There are others too, but I'm going to wait until they're confirmed before mentioning names.
Another name I can mention because his foster status has just been changed to adopted, is Jamie the corgi. As often happens, when a potential adopter was asking to meet Jamie his foster parent couldn't bear the thought of losing him and he's now a forever dog. He came to us with a host of health issues which have been treated one by one over several months, and now he's going through what I really hope is the last hurdle, heartworm treatment. Jamie was lucky to have a foster home throughout and now he's staying.
We do have another corgi available, but like so many dogs Bonnie's also one that needs time to warm up and learn to trust, so we wouldn't home her with children.
Following the very successful recent exhibition and sale of artwork , there will be another one starting on Saturday, so please support our second round of fundraising art exhibition: "HKDR X Carmen Lym - SIDE by SIDE, DOGS & I"
