Fri 27th Aug: Newborn puppies need a foster home, and more updates

2 newborn rain rescues need a foster

We have another pair of rescued newborns urgently in need of a foster home together, with the message coming in last night along with a couple of adorable photos of an also-rescued puppy and kitten pair.  The puppy looks old enough to stay at our Ap Lei Chau Homing Centre and the kitten will go to Kirsten's Zoo unless anyone wants to adopt them together?   Please complete the adoption questionnaire if this sounds like something you'd like: www.hongkongdogrescue.com/adopt/adoption-questionnaire/ and if you can foster the newborns contact Cindy at foster@hongkongdogrescue.com.

This puppy and kitten are best friends

 Adorable little Dotty was today's lucky dog, although I should also count just-surrendered senior labrador Coach as he was collected by his foster family a day earlier than originally planned.  We were all happy about that because the weather was atrocious, and I was stuck on Lamma because none of the sampan drivers wanted to venture out. 

Sweet Dotty has a home

While Dotty left the Homing Centre poodle Milo was arriving.  He'd been abandoned on the street without a microchip to identify any owner, and while AFCD had guessed his age as being around six years, the vet at ALCVC said he was younger, no more than four based on the condition of his teeth. 

Milo arrived at Ap Lei Chau

There were also several potential adopters visiting our Tai Po Homing Centre, meaning hopefully some good news coming soon, as well as the now almost-inevitable new arrival.  This was the older puppy from AFCD I mentioned yesterday, and his name is now Rocket due to his supercharged energy. 

You can also sponsor an HKDR dog be included

Rocket's a typical teenage puppy

I need to mention a few other things which aren't directly dog-related, although of course everything is about the dogs in the end.  The first is a reminder that the deadline for submissions to our 2022 Cube Calendar is looming, so if you want your dog(s) to be included please make sure you get your applications in by the end of this month.  If you don't have an adopted dog but would like to sponsor one of our many dogs-in-waiting to be featured as Dog of the Day you can also do that.  Here's the link for both options https://hongkongdogrescue.com/2022cubecalendar/

We also took in a delivery of wine today which we'll be selling at our Ap Lei Chau Homing Centre, and these always disappear fast so head down there before we sell out. 

While you're at the Homing Centre you can still buy the Chinese scrolls that we're selling for the ridiculously cheap price of $500 each or $1000 for three, and these are all very old or even antique paintings. 

All buyers so far have been delighted with their paintings
