Fri 22nd April: Looking for small or medium sizes?

Elodie

Today's leading photo is one of the five new puppies we took from AFCD Sheung Shui today, and this heart-melter, and the four siblings, will probably grow to be larger sized adults.  I've given them all "E" names and there are two boys, Edgar and Evan, and girls Elodie, Edie and Esme.

Little Duke with sister Daphne

 Most adoption enquiries are for small or medium sized dogs, and while we never know how big the baby pups will grow to be as adults, as I wrote yesterday I'm pretty sure that tiny Duke won't be larger than a medium, in fact I'll go so far as to (almost) guarantee it.  You can adopt Duke right now as long as you take his sister Daphne on a foster basis until they're old enough to be separated, and as we're urgently in need of a new foster home for this pair anyway, it's a good time to do it.  Please email Cindy at foster@hongkongdogrescue.com if you can help with fostering, or complete the adoption questionnaire if you want to be the lucky adopter of Duke, Daphne or both.  By the way, they currently live with a cat who's taken on the role of part-time caretaker, so a home with a cat or two would also be lovely.  

Gaia is a small-medium size

I mentioned a dog that was surrendered the other day, Gaia, and her ex-owner had said she was a whippet cross.  I don't know about that but she's really quite small and only weighs 12 kilos, not much more than a dog that falls under our "Small" category.  Gaia is sweet and friendly too, so again please complete the adption questionnaire if you'd like to adopt her.

One of today's news arrivals from AFCD Sheung Shui is another medium size, this time a one year-old boy now called Fabian.  His previous name was apparently Fei Fei, so I try to make new names sound reasonably like old ones.   Fabian is beautiful as well as being very friendly, and his weight definitely falls into the Medium category.

Of course the new shiba inu, now Akio (I don't know what he was called before) is obviously small, and at three years still a young boy.  He'll be at our Tai Po Homing Centre for the weekend if you want to meet him, but as always we will need a suitable home for this breed.

A last minute add-on from AFCD was the girl with the injured paw, and we now know that one of the toes had been severed and the site had become infected.  Now-Camille will have to stay at ALCVC for a while to have the wound regularly cleaned and dressed, and luckily we have a lovely foster home lined up for Camille to go to once she's ready to be moved.  Camille is also young, not large and incredibly sweet. 

I'll spare you the gory up-close photos

Candy

Also definitely in the small size category are Candy (at Tai Po) and mini long-haired dachshund Hunter, who's currently still with his soon-to-be-leaving owner.

Puppies that will at Whiskers N Paws this Sunday joining now-resident Betty are Lucas (who will be staying at the store too if not adopted), Luna, Reece, Ronald, Bliss, Nettle, Nona, Colin and maybe Rachel.  Take a look at last Sunday's photos (by our regular long-term volunteer Catherine)  Puppy Adoption Day 18th April 2022
