| Wallis, Winter and the ex foster parents |
We had a little rush for the last day of the month with three puppies going home either from or via the Ap Lei Chau Homing Centre, and hopefully others on the way from their foster homes in the next day or so. Siblings Wallis and Winter stopped off at the Ap Lei Chau Vet Clinic (ALCVC) with their foster parents to have a vaccination before being handed over to the respective new families, and the photo shows all three: now ex-foster in the middle with the adopters on either side.

| Fergie going home |
Puppy Fergie was adopted from the Homing Centre directly, as was little Bix the pomeranian. We do still have several small seniors waiting for homes, and you can see a lot of photos on Eagle's Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/HKDR.DOGGIES

New puppy boy Bacon went home from Tai Po for a trial with the resident dog, and a quick update this morning that both dogs had started playing first thing makes me confident enough to mention Bacon's name. Unless something goes drastically wrong I don't think we'll be seeing him again.

Another senior was also taken for a trial, and after being in a foster home we know that Ovaltine is an easy dog with no great demands. That's the beauty of older dogs, they don't need the intensive exercise and training that youngsters do, and they're happy just to be part of a family.

| Nugget is a really sweet girl |
Not all trial adoptions work out for various reasons, and for sweet Nugget it was separation anxiety that resulted in her quick return. Sadly separation anxiety can become a self-fulfulling prophecy when the fear of being left alone or abandoned results in exactly that happening, and every time it reinforces the behaviour. Most unwanted behaviours diminish with time as a dog settles and starts to feel secure, but we're looking for a new home for Nugget where she won't be left alone. Often another pet can help, whether it's a dog or a friendly cat. If you think Nugget will be happy in your home, please complete the adoption questionnaire at www.hongkongdogrescue.com/adopt/adoption-questionnaire/
