Weds 11th Oct: A reunion, two babies and three foster fails

 There are some happy stories to share today, starting with the heartwarming reunion of the stray dog found in California, and her relieved owner.  It just goes to show the importance of microchipping and licensing dogs, because without that little chip in the back of the neck many dogs would be lost for ever. If you don't know, all puppies by the age of five months must be microchipped and licensed (in Hong Kong), meaning also having a rabies vaccination. 

Also following on from the sad story of the poor warehouse mother dog and her puppies being taken from her and thrown in the hills, the two survivors are now in a foster home and will hopefully be fine after their ordeal.  

Tyler is now Brodie 

I can also report on three "Foster Fails", with poodles Tyler, Becky and Bunty both being adopted by their foster families.

Bunty is also staying forever 

While most of our smaller dogs stay at the Kennedy Town Centres, some of those at Tai Po are no larger than medium, like sweet Emma who comes with a special free gift when she's adopted. 

Meet the real Emma at our Tai Po Homing Centre

We are thrilled to present Emma, a heart-melting, medium-sized girl with a personality as beautiful as her portrait! As part of our collaboration with the talented artists at 心源畫會 Xinyuan Art Group, Emma's stunning watercolour portrait has been generously sponsored by artist Loretta.

Emma, now 2 years old, is eagerly awaiting her forever home. She's a breeze to handle and can be easily picked up and carried if needed. Emma's gentle nature and big personality make her an absolute delight to be around!

As a special bonus, the lucky individual or family who adopts Emma will also receive this exquisite painting as a sponsored gift from the artist! We invite you to meet Emma in person at our Tai Po Homing Centre, don't miss this incredible opportunity to bring home a loving companion and a unique work of art.
