Yes, I'm back online after a few days of unintentional internet detox, and there's a lot of catching up to do. We've had a few adoptions and new dogs arriving, but today I want to mention some urgent cases of dogs that need homes, obviously permanent if possible, but if nothing else then a foster home.

We've been asked to help two innocent victims who lost their home due to Yuen Long South Development work, one male and one Female, desexed, aged around 4-5 years old. We were told they are well-behaved and good with kids. Ideally we would want them to go to the same home as they are tightly bonded.
This is an urgent case so at the very least we need a foster home, but obviously a forever home would be a much better option.
If you are interested in adopting them, please complete the Adoption Questionnaire at https://hongkongdogrescue.com/.../adoption-questionnaire/...
We have also been asked if we can help another two whose owner is very sick in hospital, and it's apparently not necessary for them to stay together (although we prefer this if possible). The poodle is 12 years old and the beagle girl is 14, so please let us know if you can help. For all fostering offers please start by completing the form at www.hongkongdogrescue.com/volunteer/fostering/. (Update: the poodle is not well so it's just the beagle who needs a new home at the moment).
The third case is really sad too, as they all are, but this one involves a dog you will know about if you've been following my blog or HKDR in general over the past few months. This is about Sharlene, the sharpei-type girl who had to undergo specialist surgery on her jaw and who was subsequently adopted. Everything was going so well, not only in Sharlene's recovery but also her relationship with the other dogs in the home. That was until she and another female had a falling out, apparently because Sharlene doesn't seem to be able to read the body language of others so fails to understand that there's an issue. You may know that when two female dogs fall out, it's often a forever situation and very hard, if impossible, to rectify. Apparently Sharlene is oblivious to the fact that the other dog now doesn't want her around and keeps wanting to play, resulting in her having to be separated for her own safety. This is a very difficult choice for Sharlene's family as of course they love her, but they also fear for her well-being and feel that another home would be the best option. Sharlene is a very sweet girl, and her health is absolutely fine now even if she does still have a funny face. Is there anyone who can offer her the safety of a new home?
The video below shows Sharlene and Alison playing so happily until Alison decided she didn't like Sharlene any more. It's very sad.
Things have obviously been hotting up for our big event on Sunday, Peak to Fong, and the number of still-available ticket-T-shirts is down to a handful, all X-small sizes. If you can't squeeze into one, you can wear it in another way, perhaps like a scarf or a hat (it's cold up on the Peak in the mornings), or put in on your dog. We just need to know who's officially part of the event.
We have lots of great new HKDR clothing options available for you to buy, with the launch being at the street party in Lan Kwai Fong. Obviously everything will be available to buy after Sunday too, and we're hoping to have a mail order option available too.

On the dog front we're expecting more new smaller sized dogs and puppies to arrive later this week, so keep an eye out for news of their arrival if you're interested. They're really very cute!
