Tues 14th Nov: There are so many to choose from

Stylish and practical windbreaker 

 With Peak to Fong now less than two weeks away and most of the larger T-shirt sizes already sold out, we're anticipating an amazing event for Sunday 26th.  For updates and information please check our Facebook Hong Kong Dog Rescue (HKDR) and Instagram @hkdr_official, including details of brand new must-have merchandise like the weatherproof windbreaker, an item that previously quickly sold out.  This new version is even better than the last, so make sure you check out the HKDR stall in Lan Kwai Fong.  We have loads of goodies for yourself and your Christmas present list, and you'll find a fantastic variety of goods on all of the other stands too, so come prepared to spend (and remember to bring cash!). 

We had an in-and-out adoption today, one that had been planned in advance after we were asked if we could accept a golden retriever puppy, actually the second such puppy in a the past two weeks.  We have plenty of potential adopters waiting for this breed so there's no need to advertise, and we can just work our way through the list.  If you're one of those still waiting, you never know when the next golden retriever will come in.   

Hugo 

We do have a golden retriever adult waiting for a home, in the very round shape of Hugo, sadly massively overweight.  Even a foster home would be helpful for this lovely and very sweet boy, just so we can try to get him to shed a few kilos.  If you can foster Hugo, please complete the form at www.hongkongdogrescue.com/volunteer/fostering/, or for adoption it's www.hongkongdogrescue.com/adopt/adoption-questionnaire/.

Reuben 

Labrador Reuben is also staying at our Tai Po Homing Centre, but although he's around the same middle age as Hugo, he's in good shape and health and still very active. 

We're seeing more and more of these expensive breeds being bought on a whim and then needing new homes while still puppies.  We took in the two poodle puppies recently, both adopted of course, as well as the standard poodle not that long ago.   Now someone is asking if we can take a shiba inu puppy, and I really have to wonder how much thought goes into these purchases, and how much money do people have to spare as breed puppies aren't cheap. 

In any case, if you love dogs and want a loyal and loving companion, why not choose a mixed breed?  Apart from those already waiting for homes, we have three gorgeous small dogs due to come in on Wednesday, including an adorable-looking boy who's only a year old, with the other two also young at two and three years. Come back tomorrow for photos, and remember to complete the adoption questionnaire for all dogs, large or small.
