Suddenly my internet connection returned and I can work normally, which is something of a relief after trying to reply to emails on my phone, and in case you didn't notice my blog from yesterday eventually appeared.
Also a nice surprise was that we got some new dogs in today, smaller sized but as yet not assessed, licensed or anything else. If the weather, currently a mild T3, allows I'll be taking the dogs to AFCD on Friday for licensing, so that also means allocating them an age. It appears that a couple of them have had distemper in the past as they have the tell-tale twitch, and one of the other results of this virus is that the tooth enamel is damaged, so trying to guess an age by the condition of the teeth is difficult.
With the weekend approaching we have several meetings arranged for the puppies in foster homes, particularly the "G" litter of eight (Gunner and Gina shown below), and the "Z" litter of nine (smaller-sized puppies, with the photos showing them at five weeks of age). Both litters are just about ready to be adopted and start their new lives as family members.
Meanwhile it looks as though one of the very young babies, the most recent taken from AFCD Pokfulam, has been lucky enough to find a great new home where there are already resident dogs so Archie has built-in siblings. Lucky boy!
We don't allow puppies to be adopted if they're below eight weeks of age unless there are already dogs, or a dog, in the home so they have a companion. Younger puppies can be adopted on a 1+1 basis, which means fostering a sibling until they're two months old.
For all puppy adoption enquiries please start by completing the questionnaire at www.hongkongdogrescue.com/adopt/adoption-questionnaire/ and remember that all adopters have free access to our very experienced trainer, Cactus, as well as receiving an adoption booklet containing all of the information you will need.
