Sat 25th March: Stormy Sunday ahead (but we're still open!)

"F" puppy Fitz is staying at WNP now

 With rain and thunderstorms forecast for Sunday, I want to start by mentioning that although the regular Puppy Party at Whiskers N Paws will still be taking place, the number of puppies attending will be lower than usual and will be restricted to mostly foster puppies.  

Those staying at Kennedy Town and Elgin Street can still be seen at their respective Centres from 10am until 5pm.  I say 5pm rather than 6pm, because you will need to allow time to properly meet and interact with the puppies if you're serious about adopting.  The same applies to Whiskers N Paws too if you're heading over there with the real intention of adopting, because we need to pack up and leave at four o'clock so the foster parents and their charges can get back home, bearing in mind they come from all over Hong Kong and the New Territories. 

I'm disappointed that the puppies at 22 Elgin Street can't enjoy playtime on the terrace, because now that they're fully vaccinated they really need to start getting out and socialising.  If you're a volunteer at our Elgin Street Centre please bear that in mind when you're there, and perhaps start to get the puppies outside even if you're just carrying them.  This is one aspect of them being due to move soon to Kennedy Town that I'm very much looking forward to, as they can begin their leash-walking lessons and trips to the waterfront and dog park.  We still have a week to go so please sign up for upcoming shifts if you're already a volunteer:

Oreo is a very sweet little boy

Lucky Ursula 

As mentioned, chihuahua Oreo left Elgin Street today to begin his new life, while puppy Ursula was the lucky girl at Kennedy Town.  

One of the volunteers shared this video of little bichon Lola out for a walk (sorry about the loud motorbike noise), and I want to let everyone see how lovely she is, and how much she needs a new home.  She was so distraught at being given up by her family (due to human babies arriving) that she took a while to settle, and now she has bonded with our office staff member Margaret.  That's good and bad because Margaret can't adopt Lola, so we're looking for a home where Lola can become someone's faithful companion and best friend.  She would be ideal for a home with a single woman, or a couple with no children.  Please watch this short video and let us know if you would like to take Lola home. She's not into long hikes or big adventures, she really just wants someone to love her.
