Mon 30th Jan: New arrivals confirmed, and new arrivals maybe

 Some new small dogs will be arriving on Tuesday from AFCD, although not youngsters other than a female Sheltie (Shetland sheepdog) who's only three years old.  This is a popular breed so I'm pretty sure that she (yet to be named) will find a home quite quickly, even if she does apparently have a skin problem.   The others are two poodles, one a ten year-old male and the other a six year-old female, and an almost-ten year-old shiba inu, and all are apparently very friendly.   If you are interested in these dogs, or any others, please complete the adoption questionnaire (if not already done) at www.hongkongdogrescue.com/adopt/adoption-questionnaire.  

Pumpkin is staying in her foster home

A previous small dog from AFCD had her adoption confirmed today after a follow-up visit to Concordia Pet Care confirmed that Pumpkin had healed very quickly from her surgery (desex and facial fold removal).  Of the three ex-breeder pekes that came on the same day, now only Gherkin still needs a home. You may remember that he had to have one eye removed, but he's still a very sweet and happy boy. 

I can't understand why we still have some of our small-medium dogs remaining at HKDR@Elgin, especially the young, happy and friendly ones.  Of course we have to be sure that any potential homes are suitable, and unfortunately many aren't for one reason or another, so we will wait for the right family and situation to come along.  In the meantime the dogs are happy with their temporary "home", and their friends.  I love the way little Stella has really opened up, and and watching her playing with Scooter and Sybil in this video really made me smile.   Again as a reminder, Stella came to us with her litter of puppies, all now adopted, so at first she was unsure of what was happening.  She's since been desexed and has forgotten about her past life of being a mother, and now she behaves just as any normal young dog should. 


Gabby and Griffin are now staying at WNP

Puppies Griffin and Gabby stayed behind after the Puppy Party at Whiskers N Paws on Sunday, so they are now our HKDR Ambassadors at the store until they're adopted.  Please feel free to meet them any day of the week during opening hours.

It's possible that we will have more small-medium dogs coming in, potentially quite a lot of them, but as always we're just given some warning of the potential arrival and then we wait to see what actually arrives, if any. Keep an eye on my blog in the coming days for updates if you're interested.
