Weds 30th Nov: Last day of the month, and Christmas is coming

Igloo is loving her new home


I missed mentioning that little pomeranian Igloo was adopted on Monday, and following her happy day it was the turn of poodle India.  Both of these dogs are ex-breeder survivors, and the rest of their lives will be very different from their puppy factory days.  
India's life as a breeder dog is history now


With November now over and Christmas on its way, there's an event coming up which I'm sure will be quickly sold out.

Richard Ward presenting the Gino's Gelato cheque at P2F 2014

I know a lot of HKDR supporters have memories of Peak to Fong popping up on their Facebook pages, and it's an event that's been sorely missed.  I really hope 2023 will see the return of this amazing gathering of dog lovers, but as an ongoing part of the P2F tradition we were very happy to receive a cheque for $42,000 from Gino's Gelato.  For those that don't know, at every Peak to Fong event we held Doggie Gelato eating competitions which were a lot of fun, and we would then be presented with a Giant Cheque which represented a percentage of the sales of Doggie Gelato at all of their outlets throughout the year.  Peak to Fong or not, the donation has continued, and it seems that the dogs really love their gelato!  


As I mentioned yesterday, the four new AFCD puppies have joined the fluffy "F" litter at HKDR@Elgin, and everyone is getting along very well.  The shy "F" puppies are improving all the time in terms of their socialisation, thanks to Manager Cam and the volunteers who sit with the pups so patiently.  If you want to be part of this please email Cam at elgin@hongkongdogrescue.com so you can join our small team while the puppies are still there.

November's adoption number of 33 was lower than in previous months, which is normal for the run-up to the Christmas and New Year holiday period, but disappointing all the same.  I'm especially sad to see only two dogs being adopted from our Tai Po Homing Centre, the place where the dogs need homes more than any other.  Please do take the time to meet the many wonderful dogs and puppies that are staying there at any given time, and give them the second chance that they deserve.
