Sun 25th July: An "exclusive" puppy event

Sweet boy Percy 

 The puppy afternoon at Whiskers N Paws was what might be called an exclusive event as there were only two hopefuls there, thanks to kennel cough at the Homing Centre.  As it happens both Percy and Echo are "the ones left behind", meaning all of their siblings have been adopted and they are still waiting.  There's absolutely no reason for this, no behaviour or health issues, it's just that their families (and I know they're out there somewhere) haven't come forward yet.  If there's one good thing to come out of this quiet two hours at Whiskers N Paws it's that Percy and Echo got the full attention of Eric Tang, our volunteer photographer for the day  Puppy Adoption Day 25th July 2021.  Maybe, just maybe, these two puppies will win the big prize of being adopted as a pair, who knows. 

Lovely Echo

It's been a longish wait for shiba inu Stella as she has some leg problems, with one side being from an old break that wasn't properly set, and the other side having patella luxation (wobbly knee).  Her adopters had come to see her on Saturday and were back again today after having fully considered the issues, and wanting her anyway.  Stella is a sweet girl who was used as a breeding dog before, so while every adoption is a happy event it's always extra lovely to know a dog will never be used as a money machine again. 

Stella has her perfect home

It was also second time lucky for Dozer when he went home with another ex-HKDR bulldog. We had really wanted Dozer to have another dog in the home to satisfy his love for playing, and hopefully these two boys will be an equal match.  I know everyone at Ap Lei Chau will miss this funny boy and his entertaining antics, so I'm looking forward to seeing videos of him and his new "brother".

What I want more than anything though is to see more dogs leaving our Tai Po Homing Centre.  We've taken in so many over the past month or so, and they're such lovely girls and boys, easy, good-natured and ready to move straight into a new family life.  I really hope more potential adopters can visit and meet the dogs that are waiting, and to see how amazing they are.   Just complete the adoption questionnaire and let us tell you about the dogs that will be best suited for your home and family:  www.hongkongdogrescue.com/adopt/adoption-questionnaire/
