Thurs 25th Feb: Jumping ahead

Victor has waited far too long

 Starting again with more lovely adoption news, even if I'm jumping ahead of myself because the dogs haven't been picked up yet.  The first dog is German shepherd Victor, and this is an especially happy event as Victor has already been waiting far too long.  He's a beautiful dog, and he also has a wonderful temperament to match his handsome looks.  Sadly the lump that was discovered on his neck turned out to be a slow-growing cancer, but even knowing that his soon-to-be family chose Victor to take home.  

The second Tai Po dog is actually still a puppy, and Panini is her name.  Photos of the actual adoptions will follow after they have taken place and the dogs have left.

There are 5 in this litter

One of the puppy litters I mentioned yesterday is due to arrive at Ap Lei Chau on Friday, but we're not completely sure of the age.  From the photo the pups looks pretty young but I suspect that was taken a while ago so we'll have to wait and see.  Either way the second litter of pups still currently with their mother will be arriving soon and they will need foster homes, so please register with Cindy at foster@hongkongdogrescue.com if you're able to help out.  As always the puppies will need to be in pairs until they're old enough to be separated.  



We have another lovely fundraising effort to run alongside the Lion Rock Press gift wrap, cards and tags, with both donating all sales proceeds to HKDR.  This one is a recipe book for homemade dog treats, inspired by personal experience:

"The Recipe of September" is a dog treat cookbook written by Shannon Sin, the daughter of one of our HKDR adoption families.
Shannon developed her interest in cooking dog food at home because their family dog, Sept Sept is a picky eater who suffered from gastrointestinal problems. After becoming an expert in home-cooking out of the love she has for her dogs, Shannon decided to create this cookbook so that nutritious and delicious homemade treats can be made available easily for more lucky dogs.
What makes this cookbook even more meaningful is that it is a fundraiser for HKDR, with 100% of the proceeds going to help transform the lives of abandoned dogs.
The cookbook will also be a wonderful gift for your friends who have dogs at home. It's always good to see your friends pampering their dogs like you pamper your own, plus all money goes directly to HKDR (Thank you Shannon's family for covering all the costs) !
