Sat 23rd July: What a day!

Poodle Haven was adopted from Kennedy Town


 We had so many enquiries about the smaller dogs currently staying at our HKDR@Elgin location, and almost as many potential adopters coming to meet them, but in the end no dog was actually taken home.  In fact one dog that I had posted yesterday as being adopted was brought back after someone in the family turned out to be allergic, so all in all it was an incredibly frustrating Saturday, even if we were all very busy replying to emails or meeting visitors.  


One thing I would like to ask is that if you're not able to adopt immediately, please wait before coming to meet the dogs.  Hopefully any dog that you like will already be in a home by the time you're able to adopt one yourself, and it takes up valuable time introducing potential dog candidates. 

I also need to mention that the HKDR@Elgin dogs will be moving to our new location in Kennedy Town next week, about a five minute walk from the Kennedy Town Homing Centre in Brilliant Court.  I'll be sharing the full address once we're installed, and this space will also serve as our office and drop-off point for donations.  All volunteers who are currently helping at Elgin Street will be welcome to continue once we move the dogs, and thank you all for your help over the past couple of weeks. 




Away from Elgin Street there were two adoptions, one being poodle Haven at our Kennedy Town Homing Centre, and the other puppy Odie, chosen from his foster home.   Please remember there are still lots of puppies in foster homes, including the group of small-medium ones that came with the adults now staying at HKDR@Elgin.  To meet any of these puppies please start by completing the adoption questionnaire at www.hongkongdogrescue.com/adopt/adoption-questionnaire/ and then our Foster Coordinator Cindy can arrange a meeting. 

We also have the 8 month-old pug puppies staying in the small Centre in Ap Lei Chau, and again please complete the adoption questionnaire if interested. Ideally we're hoping that the two boys can stay together, but it's not a deal-breaker if they can't and the home is as good as we want.



Some of the older foster puppies will be at Whiskers N Paws on Sunday, 2pm to 4pm, so you can meet them in person, but we're keeping the numbers low at the moment because of the heat.  

Here are the available puppies and their locations, with links to photos:
