Sun 25th Oct: Happy puppy news

 Yes, we're open as always every single day of the year from 10am to 6pm!

Now that I've answered the question we're asked all the time, there was happy news about more puppy adoptions today, and hopefully again after Monday's holiday.




For today smaller puppies Zia and Zack were adopted by their foster parents, the best outcome of all as there's none of the upheaval of  being moved to a new home.   Zia is the smallest of the nine and was the first to fall ill with tick fever, so although all pups are doing well now it does mean they won't be allowed into Australia or New Zealand in the future.   The photo on the left shows Zinnia (upper left), Zippy and Zara (right) so there's a bit of size variation from small Zinnia to medium Zara.   If you're interested in these or any other dogs or puppies please be sure to complete the questionnaire before arranging to meet them.  The form is at www.hongkongdogrescue.com/adopt/adoption-questionnaire/ 


Crinkle and Anka were chosen from the large selection at our Ap Lei Chau Homing Centre, while Fanta met her new family at Whiskers N Paws.  




Maddox, adopted yesterday, also had his going home photo taken when he was picked up this afternoon.

Many potential adopters ask about shiba inu (puppies), and while we don't have any of these available I do need, once again, to say that although very popular in Hong Kong at the moment this is not an easy breed that's suitable for apartment living.  Our two young adult shibas, King and Damson, were both returned from their homes for being difficult to handle, and while I don't blame either set of adopters it's made one thing very clear and that's that both of these dogs must have a large outdoor space to freely roam in.  While staying on Lamma where they've now returned to, both King and Damson exhibited no behaviour issues at all, and it was only when they went to their respective homes that they started misbehaving.
