Weds 31st May: 39 adoptions for May


I want to say that I know for sure that this particular dog will find a new home in an instant, and I'm rather dreading the avalanche of adoption enquiries even before I share the details.  For that reason I'll start by saying that we will choose the best home that's offered, as well as the adopter who can take the dog home immediately (on Saturday afternoon).   

However, having said that I'm sure about this particular case, these days I can't say I'm sure about anything, as dogs that I imagined would be scooped up within minutes are still waiting.  Anyway, the dog in question is a ten month-old golden retriever boy, and the reason for surrender is that the current owner doesn't have time to take care of it, and when I say that I mean REALLY doesn't have time.   Please complete the adoption questionnaire if you're seriously interested, have the space and time, and can adopt immediately.

In addition, and as already mentioned, on Thursday we have another large intake of smaller dogs arriving, including puppies (which will grow to be small adults).  From what I have been told the adults are young dogs, most a year old, and currently rather overgrown and shaggy so the volunteer groomers will be busy in the coming days.   

Again as mentioned, we'll be holding a special Saturday adoption event for the small adult dogs at Whiskers N Paws, Horizon Plaza, from 2pm to 4pm, but we will need everyone to have completed the adoption questionnaire in advance and to have been invited to come.  Unfortunately not all homes are suitable to keep a dog, and we don't want to waste anyone's time by having to say no after making the effort to get to Whiskers N Paws. 

There were thirty nine lucky dogs and puppies adopted during May, and sadly also seven Forever Dogs, meaning those who have died naturally while still under the care of HKDR.
