Sun 16th May: Puppies out, puppies in

 

Kiwi's big moment

It was another scorching hot day, too hot for both myself and the dogs to want to be outside for long, and I suspect others were preferring the air conditioning to the sun's rays. Tai Po staff member Yannie accompanied the puppies from the big Homing Centre to Whiskers N Paws, stopping off on the way to get due vaccinations given at ALCVC.  Two of those puppies didn't make the return journey, one being Romeo and the other Kiwi. Take a look at Jimmy Tsang's lovely photos of the afternoon here:  Puppy Adoption Day 16th May 2021

Romeo has to be accepted by the resident dog

I mentioned puppy Parsley being adopted from her foster home yesterday, and today another foster puppy, Lyra, was chosen, and this is really the ideal situation when a puppy moves directly from one home to another.

Bailey growing up

Another "puppy" who has been in a loving and wonderful foster home until today is Bailey.  His stubborn tick fever meant he was either not ready for adoption or his potential families had plans to move to countries that won't allow dogs with a history of tick fever.  It will be a huge wrench for Bailey to leave the home he has been in for over a year now, and I'm sure the same feeling applies to his foster family, but we're incredibly grateful for the patience shown during the very long treatment and wait for a forever home.  

This older girl pup needs a home

Inevitably as puppies are adopted more arrive, and today there were two of them, not related and of differing ages.  They also went straight to a foster home together, but I think the older of the two is bullying the younger so we need a new home for the fluffy pup.  Both will have their check-up and vaccination on Monday, so if interested please complete the adoption questionnaire at www.hongkongdogrescue.com/adopt/adoption-questionnaire/

The younger pup can stay in foster care

I forgot to mention that we took in another adult from AFCD Pokfulam on Friday, a handsome boy who was given the name of Gerald at Tai Po.
