Tues 20th July: No adoptions, only rain

Good weather is predicted for Saturday

 I've been unable to get over to Hong Kong Island for the past couple of days thanks to the weather, and it seems that Wednesday is also going to be rainy even if the typhoon warnings are no longer necessary.  I've been watching the weather forecasts with particular interest because of our upcoming Flag Day on Saturday, so it's a relief to know we should be fine and the volunteers out on the streets won't be standing in the rain.  Please make a point of looking for them and dropping something in the collection bags if you're out and about, thank you.

At times like the present when there's constant rain and everything including the dogs are always wet, we really need dry towels to mop up, wipe and for the dogs to lie on.  If you have old towels to donate please send them our way, to either of our Homing Centres, thank you.  We're also happy to accept bedding such as sheets and quilt covers, but please no pillows or cushions as we can't wash them.  Newspapers of course are always also needed. 


I also have to say a big thank you for theYappy Hour weekend events at Eight Kwai Fong Happy Valley. There was a total of 151 dog visitors resulting in  $7,550 being raised but  "We'll triple it to $22,650 as a donation to HKDR".  That's an incredibly kind gesture and even better that it came as a result of dogs and their families enjoying a wonderful time out at this new dog-friendly residential complex.  


"Yappy hour has received very good feedback from 'pawrents' sharing that it's quite rare for a developer promoting a pet friendly residence in such a high profile way with a number of pampering activities for their furry friends. Visiting a new residence with their furry friend perhaps is 'the first' they have ever seen in this city. Most of the furry friends were leaving with a smiley face, and some even did not want to leave :) We miss them!"
