Weds 22nd Sept: Photos don't tell the whole story

 

Pipkin's happy at the Homing Centre

I knew it was going to be busy today, and we were all working non-stop as I was checking the incoming questionnaires and the Homing Centre staff (today it was Andrea and Eagle at Ap Lei Chau) were dealing with the potential adopters in person.  Pipkin seemed to be the main attraction and I was wondering how the poor little guy was doing with what must have been endless trips to the dog park, especially as in the end he didn't go home with anyone.  It really proves what I try to explain many times, that you can't choose a dog from a photo or by the way it looks, and while there's nothing wrong with Pipkin in terms of health and behaviour, maybe he just didn't have the personality that today's visitors were looking for. 

Sweet Rufus has his forever home

It doesn't matter if the small adults wait for the right home as they're fine and happy at the Homing Centre, and the puppies have great fun playing as well as snuggling with their friends to sleep. As long as we have the space to accommodate them they can stay as long as they need to, but for Rufus and Hugo today was their last at Ap Lei Chau as they both left to start their new lives. 
Hugo didn't have to wait long for his home







It seems a long time since I was able to post an adoption photo from Tai Po, although it's probably only my perception as the small dogs are chosen far more quickly.  Anyway I was very happy to get the message that Mario had been taken home today, even though it still leaves so many that are still waiting.  

Mario is the lucky Tai Po dog
