Tues 27th April: Where did the puppies come from?

Who sent these gorgeous puppies?

 Puppies keep arriving, and it occurred to me that the numbers could be so great recently because we've had an unusually dry and warm spring meaning more born-wild babies surviving.  Under normal circumstances, at this time of year heavy rain would see many such litters being washed away or drowned, something we know from the volunteers who go out to rescue them.  

As it happens I don't think today's intake from both AFCD Pokfulam and Sheung Shui were from stray mothers as their condition is too good, not tick and flea-ridden as we would normally expect.  In fact someone knows where the litter of three came from because she paid to have them sent to Pokfulam AFCD and specifically asked that they be kept for HKDR, so if that was you please contact me so we can have some background information and maybe even an idea of the parents.  The puppies are beautiful and are now staying at our Ap Lei Chau Homing Centre.

The other litter from AFCD Sheung Shui were milk-drinking babies, as mentioned in yesterday's post, all black and now in foster care as a threesome and pair.  They still have their eyes closed so are probably just a week old, and at this age there's no knowing what they will look like as adults but I can guarantee they'll be black! 

Moving from arrivals to departures, if you remember the very happy story of "Red Dog" Bell's adoption and the follow-up videos of a completely different character, his adopters came back today (with Bell) to choose another lucky poodle to join them.  Today it was Joseph, not a long-termer but still a senior with some typical poodle issues.

Another happy adoption photo is that of  Frankie, who was taken for a trial with ex-HKDR Zumba.  How confirmed we can share the happy family photo.
