| Louie is staying at Tai Po |
We took in another puppy from AFCD Sheung Shui today, and while at first he was supposed to be coming to Ap Lei Chau the Tai Po team decided to hang onto him. He's certainly a gorgeous boy, now with the name of Louie, so anyone interested in giving him a home please start by completing the questionnaire at www.hongkongdogrescue.com/adopt/adoption-questionnaire/
Instead of puppies it was boxes of wine that were delivered to our Ap Lei Chau Homing Centre, and if past enthusiasm is anything to go by they should disappear pretty quickly. You can drop by at the Homing Centre any day between 10am and 6pm if you're interested.
There were no new adoptions today but some good news about trials being upgraded to confirmed, and also that the mammary masses removed from little Mops turned out to be benign. She was adopted by her foster home anyway, but now they don't have to worry about any potential cancer returning.

At the opposite end of the size scale the trial adoption that is now a forever home is for Toffee the Malamute. Like many dogs in their new homes and with both sides having to adjust to each other, it wasn't an easy time initially but things have now settled well.
As I'm sure you all know, every HKDR adopter has access to free advice and support from our very experienced trainer Cactus, and she's kept incredibly busy replying to requests for help. In fact due to the number of adoptions that have been taking place there's a backlog building up, because although in the case of puppies the problems are almost always regarding playbiting and toilet training, with adult dogs Cactus has to tailor her replies to the specific issues. To try to help with the more basic queries and to reassure adopters that they haven't been ignored, Cactus and I agreed that I would reply if she wasn't able to do so immediately, and hopefully my own experience and advice will help until Cactus can follow up with more detail.
