Thurs 13th May: Remy is approaching the Finnish line

Remy will be flying to Finland

 Sometimes you really need some good news to get you through the day, and today that came with the message that Tai Po dog Remy was finally going to be flying to Finland on 18th June.  This has been in the pipeline for so long we'd actually given up hope of ever being able to get him on a plane and had even started promoting him on our website again. Suddenly everything fell into place with a flight volunteer ready to go along with Remy, so he's off the available list again and we'll start preparing for his big day. 

The Tai Po puppies will be at WNP this Sunday

With the puppies at the Ap Lei Chau Homing Centre temporarily held back from going to Whiskers N Paws on Sunday, we'll be sending the Tai Po puppies over instead, as well as any foster puppies that are old enough to be adopted.  It's another chance for "The Edibles", the litter that outgrew the smaller Homing Centre after their beginnings as tiny foster babies.  

Look how they've grown!

I want to take a moment to mention something we get so messages about, that being the volunteering applications.  Due to the months when we were unable to hold any orientations for new volunteers we have a backlog to work through, and that means that any available slots are quickly filled.  We're really trying our best to deal with the number of names on the waiting list, but there's only so much time and only a few volunteers to hold the training sessions.  We will give priority to those who are free to help out on weekdays, but for weekend-only volunteers please be patient.  Please also bear in mind that the Volunteer Coordinators for both Homing Centres are themselves volunteers, so they may not be available to reply to messages immediately.
