Weds 17th Feb: Keeping the numbers steady

Tom and Tucker, with Finn on the left (still available)

 I'm happy to be able to write about some adoptions today, especially the double one that took place at our Ap Lei Chau Homing Centre as brothers Tom and Tucker went off to start a wonderful life together.  We already knew the adopter as she had previously taken in another one of our dogs, so we could wave goodbye with full confidence.

Also leaving the small Homing Centre was poodle Beau, who always has a toy in his mouth and insisted on holding onto it for his adoption photo.   I hope he will have a big collection of toys to choose from in his new life. 

Beau held onto his toy

A new dog arrived at our Tai Po Homing Centre, a smallish (around 15 kilos) black boy who's now called Reggie.  He had been found abandoned and with a note attached, and was about to be sent to AFCD before we stepped in and agreed to take him immediately.  He doesn't have a microchip so that will need to be done, along with the licensing and desexing.  Although obviously completely disorientated and stressed, he seems to be a nice little dog and I think he should find a home pretty quickly.   

Reggie is a medium size


If you're interested in adopting Reggie or any other of our dogs and puppies, please start by completing the questionnaire at www.hongkongdogrescue.com/adopt/adoption-questionnaire/

Lucky Pretzel going home


Puppy Pretzel, chosen on Monday, left Tai Po as Reggie was arriving so the number of dogs at the Homing Centre remained the same.  Fortunately this is how it tends to work so we can maintain a steady level of around four hundred dogs at any one time  (plus those at Ap Lei Chau and Lamma).  It's still a lot, but at least we have a big space to accommodate them.  Feeding and taking care of the dogs is a huge task, as is maintaining the site itself, so this why donations are always needed to help us sustain that level of care we give to all of our four-legged guests.  For information on how to donate please visit our website https://hongkongdogrescue.com/donate/
