Sun 28th Feb: A busy week ahead

 

Lily (l) with adopted Lilac 

There was some very happy news about one of the poodle girls that came as a group, and which I've mentioned several times before.  In this case it's little Lily, the blind one who was so traumatised when she ended up being left at the Homing Centre when all the others went to foster homes or were adopted.  Now Lily has found herself a lovely home where there's another ex-HKDR dog as well as a dog-friendly cat and people around all the time, and I'm sure I'll be sharing photos very soon.

Does anyone remember Puddle?

Dilly the corgi went to a foster home with another ex-HKDR dog, Puddle, so she'll have somewhere nice to stay for her heartworm treatment.  I also suspect she won't be coming back. 

As always there's a lot going on even if it's not particularly noteworthy in terms of my blog. I'm always having to think a day ahead, and this coming week is going to be a busy one starting with the pick up of the ear-less big dog and three puppies from AFCD in Sheung Shui, and multiple drop-offs to different vet clinics on Monday morning.  We may have other new puppies arriving if the message I was just sent about three little cuties actually means they will end up with us, never guaranteed as we know too well from other requests for help. 

Newly-adopted Tai Po dog Mungo jumped out of a dog park in Kennedy Town this morning (Monday) so that wasn't a good start to the week, and it's another reminder to all adopters that dogs really need time to settle and to become used to their new environment.  Our Tai Po Homing Centre is up in the hills, away from traffic and noise other than the dogs themselves, so a move to city life is very hard for most dogs and they easily become scared.  Still wearing a blue harness and collar as shown in the picture.
