Sat 29th Jan: Catch up on what's been happening

 As I sit freezing at my desk (the doors are always open for the dogs), I should do a quick catch up on the dogs that recently came to us, and those who have been around a bit longer.  

Bye bye Babette

As expected, French bulldog puppy, Babette, was adopted first thing in the morning and she will be little sister to a lookalike boy Frenchie, at least when they can get together after a quarantine period.  Sensibly the adopters want to make sure that Babette isn't infected with anything as she came to us with nothing done, and not even a name!

Tiny Hazel, the ex-breeder poodle from AFCD, has gone to a lovely foster home where she can be during her heartworm treatment, and she's happily eating now.  

The 4 Bread Puppies in November

The last of the Bread Puppies, Brioche, will be staying in her foster home forever, so we can change their title to adopters rather than fosters. Hooray as always for the Failed Foster Club!

Another lucky K-Pup was chosen today, this time Kiki, and I think I'm right in saying that's three out of the litter of six now with homes.  As with all puppies who have been raised since almost-birth by their human mothers, this litter are wonderfully adjusted, and of course having lived with their siblings the whole time that has helped with their natural training and behaviour.  You can follow all updates and check out the photos on Instagram@typhoon_k_puppies

Kimmy at WNP last Sunday

It's going to be a hard choice for one potential family between little puppy Kimmy, currently in foster care, and small dog Teddy at our Ap Lei Chau Homing Centre.  We've all been wondering why Teddy is still with us because he's a fantastic little guy, full of fun and energy.  Maybe that's the reason, that he just loves to play and for some it's too much imagine him at home, possibly zooming round the place and leaping across the furniture the way he does at the dog park. 

Phaedra, without toy for a second

Other dogs still waiting at our Ap Lei Chau Homing Centre include cocker spaniel Phaedra, who is obsessed with toys and always has one in her mouth.  MJ the beagle may be ten years old but he's still very active and can easily keep up with the youngsters in the dog park.  Check out IG@h_dogsister for lots more photos and videos of the Ap Lei Chau dogs and puppies. 

Tessa and MJ at the dog park

I don't want to forget the dogs at Tai Po, so I'm really happy that one of them was chosen today and she'll be heading home on Sunday, I hope.  Look out for the name in tomorrow's post. 

The Whiskers N Paws puppy party is on for Sunday, although slightly scaled down this week as we don't have any volunteers available, or a driver as Ming's hand has been injured.  However you can meet enough hopefuls to make the trip worthwhile, and remember our Ap Lei Chau Homing Centre is very close so you can visit both. Remember to complete the adoption questionnaire before coming to meet the dogs or puppies, and you can find it at www.hongkongdogrescue.com/adopt/adoption-questionnaire/
