Mon 15th Jan: Red Packets, orchids and photo sessions


 There were two new arrivals at Kennedy Town today, both young girls, small-sized and very sweet.  Sugar and Shona are no more than a year old, and if you're interested in adopting one of them, or any of our lovely dogs, please start by completing the questionnaire at www.hongkongdogrescue.com/adopt/adoption-questionnaire/.  
Alice, Arlene and Malinois Nacho

We're also expecting five new puppies from AFCD, and to make space for them we had to send the three Malinois (Belgian shepherds) to our Tai Po Homing Centre so they could have a bit more room to play.  If you saw the photos from the Whiskers N Paws Puppy Party  Puppy Adoption Day 14 Jan 2024 (which unfortunately and for some reason uploaded in stages), you'll have seen that the Malinois are already as big as doglets Alice and Arlene who are currently staying full time at the store.   Belgian shepherds are amazing dogs and highly intelligent, but this means that they need experienced adopters who know how to bring the best out of a dog that's eager to learn.   Ironically the easiest house dogs are the ones that aren't too bright, which is why other smart breeds like border collies and poodles often end up becoming bored and frustrated, leading to potential behaviour issues. 

I also want to mention Alice and Arlene, as you will have seen that they aren't young puppies any longer.  They are the last two of their litter, the rest of whom are doing fantastically in their respective homes They're such lovely and loving sisters who play happily with all of the visiting Sunday puppies, and if you're looking for a genuinely kind and sweet dog to join your family, please go to meet them any day at Whiskers N Paws.  If you can adopt both that would be amazing, as they get on so well together.  Now-Willow and Olive are also sisters from this litter who were adopted as a pair, and they bring so much joy to their family.

Willow and Olive were adopted together
