We welcomed new puppies to our Ap Lei Chau Homing Centre today, two very cute and fluffy sisters who are now called Patti and Pippa. They have a vet appointment on Wednesday so are available to meet before then, but not actually take home just yet. There are, of course, many other puppies that are ready to go immediately, but maybe I need to mention again that they're not small breeds, labradoodles, any other kind of "doodle" or designer crossbreed. As a rescue organisation we don't breed dogs ourselves or deal with breeders, so the puppies that come to us are either found or they come from AFCD, just as the two new arrivals did.
There are very rare occasions when something happens that means we have such puppies, and I'm thinking of the time when a woman came to Ap Lei Chau with her bichon frise and a just-born surprise litter, but that's never happened before and I'm not expecting it to happen again.
We have also very occasionally received "airport" puppies, which means those confiscated at the airport for being under the minimum age allowed or without proper documentation. Again this is really very rare, and maybe twice a year someone will surrender a newly-bought puppy, but in general the smaller dogs are adults that have been abandoned.
This year we've seen even fewer dogs being surrendered as so many people have been working from home and have held onto dogs they might previously have given up, and many more first-time adopters are considering having a dog finding they have more time to devote to a pet. That in itself is a concern if at any time life goes back to how it previously was, but at this stage that seems to be a far-off likelihood.
We have a few events lined up for the rest of the year, and this exhibition is already running so please come along to support.
