Fri 26th Nov: All dogs deserve the best homes

Pax and Pablo


 Every day's a new start and I have to put previous disappointments behind me, looking forward to the weekend and what that might mean in terms of adoptions.   In fact to kickstart the new day there was very happy news about the adoption of long-term Tai Po resident Keith, whose foster status has quickly been upgraded.  I remember Keith and his siblings coming to us as puppies a long time ago.  It was their funny jaws which made me give the nickname Keith the Teeth, but look who's laughing now! 
Keith the Teeth is adopted!


There are so many beautiful dogs at both Homing Centres, all deserving of the best homes and lives, and although that means disappointing some applicants we're doing this for the dogs, nobody else.  What that means is that we will choose the home that we think can offer the most in terms of space, companionship and exercise, the things that make dogs happy. 
The dogs all get along and enjoy the company










From the photo taken by long-term volunteer Harryn, you can see there are really a lot of smaller dogs now staying at the Ap Lei Chau Homing Centre, and while it seems to be crowded the dogs are happy.  They get lots of toys and indoor playtime with their friends, as well as regular outings to the dog park for more play and running around, so it's a busy and interesting life for them.  In fact being together as a group, or pack, is how dogs live naturally, while a solitary life is very difficult for social animals. 

Paulie can look forward to a happy life

One of the dogs shown in the photo isn't with us any more, as Paulie left today after his vet check showed his was healthy and ready to start his new life.

Apart from the Homing Centres being open every day of the week, Sundays are when the puppies from the Ap Lei Chau Homing Centre and those staying in foster homes get together for two hours of play on the terrace at Whiskers N Paws, 10/F Horizon Plaza.  They don't know it, of course, but they're there for another reason, and that's so they can be seen by potential adopters, and hopefully taken home.  Remember to complete the adoption questionnaire if you're interested in any dog or puppy: www.hongkongdogrescue.com/adopt/adoption-questionnaire/
