Sat 20th Feb: It's finally time for Felix

 While I remember to mention it, I really appreciate that so many people read my blog and find it helpful or interesting.  I had to turn the comments off quite some time ago because of the amount of spam that was being posted, but I do go through them from time to time - like just now - and saw that some people are asking about adoption or fostering.   The contacts for both are regularly given here, and for general information you can email info@hongkongdogrescue.com, but I don't reply to any comments on the blog directly. 

Two pups are from one litter, the smaller from another

We had a few adoptions today, with puppies Faith, Josie and Dusty being chosen at our Ap Lei Chau Homing Centre, and husky girl Jollibee being the lucky Tai Po dog.  We're almost at "sold out" point for puppies at the small Homing Centre but have the last of the foster returnees due to come back, meaning those old enough to be adopted now.  We have plenty of younger pups available, but at this age they have to go in pairs on an adopt one/foster one basis until they're also old enough to be separated.   We also have puppies at our Tai Po Homing Centre that are the perfect age to go to new homes, but they are all larger sized.   

You can see from the photo of the three babies (the little one was a spare from a later litter) how quickly they're growing, and we know that adopting at this young age creates a very strong human-dog bond.  In fact that's how and why so many puppies are adopted by their foster families, and Faith was one of those.  After having been returned to Ap Lei Chau and her brother Finn leaving yesterday, the ex-fosters wanted to take Faith back for ever. 

If you're interested in adopting (with a foster sibling for a while) please contact Cindy at foster@hongkongdogrescue.com to arrange a meeting. 

We're all so happy to announce the adoption of senior Felix, who moved from his foster home to a forever family today.  Felix has been with us since he was a tiny puppy, and with his adoption we can close the file on this particular litter after ten years.  You can see more photos of Felix, as well as other dogs, at https://www.facebook.com/HappyWoofHK
