It's the end of another month, and while I wait for Kathy to give us the total number of adoptions that took place during November there are three more that just made the cut as poodle Tara's adoption paperwork was completed by her foster parent, gorgeous puppy Aaron (left) was taken back forever by his previous foster home and small mixed breed Elsie started her new life as a family member. By the way, if you like the look of Elsie we have an almost identical boy, Tingle, available.
As fast as puppies are being adopted, with thanks to everyone who has opened their heart and home to one of our little hopefuls, we got news that there were four lookalike young pups at AFCD Sheung Shui in need of help. We'll be picking those up on Tuesday, just squeezing in before AFCD shut down again in line with the government's latest restrictions.
I assume this also means the dog parks will be closed, including our Ap Lei Chau playground for the Homing Centre dogs, which is hugely disappointing. The dogs will still be taken out, of course, but there will be no opportunity for them to run and play, and for those registered volunteers wondering if you're still needed the answer is yes, and actually more than ever.
In the same way that I'm committed to taking care of all the dogs on Lamma, our staff at the two Homing Centres are similarly committed to ensuring that the dogs and puppies under HKDR's care continue to receive the very best attention regardless of anything that happens outside. The dogs still need to be fed and walked, and to see a vet as and when necessary. It's a huge undertaking, especially at Tai Po where there are hundreds of dogs and very few staff, so any and all registered volunteers are more than welcome at any time.
