Sat 20th Jan: Good news day

 It's always good to be able to share happy news, and the first is that a foster home was found for Maisie, and if all works out then it will almost certainly lead to adoption.

Another dog who found herself suddenly abandoned by her previous family got (very) lucky today, although her assumed brother, Glenn, will have to wait for his own special day.  These two dogs had been left at a boarding facility when the owner "went on holiday" and never came back.  Tilly  is going to have an amazing new life, which is exactly what we wanted for her (and all of the other dogs at our Tai Po Homing Centre).

More happy news is that the cost of Jimmy's patella (knee) surgery has very kindly been covered, so that's one large expense we don't have to worry about.  Now we will need a foster home where Jimmy can recover after the surgery.

The two new dogs we were expecting at our Kennedy Town Centre arrived today, and they are now Snazzy (four years) and Scooby (two years), both small sized as you can see.

There are still plenty of other smaller sized dogs you can meet, including several shibas.  One of these is Kira, who came to us from a breeder with very bad muscle twitching due to puppyhood distemper.  Kira has been having lots of therapy in the form of swimming and exercise, and you can see from this video that she is quite capable of running and enjoying a normal life.  Kira is a very sweet girl, and I hope it won't be long before she can have her own family to love her. 

Santa is another shiba who is also waiting for her forever home, and thanks to volunteer Nocus for this lovely and funny video. 

We have lots of puppies ready to show off their cuteness at Whiskers N Paws on Sunday, 2pm to 4pm, including many of those staying in foster homes: Jasmine and Janet, Flora, Emma and Eccles, Enzo, Dudley and Dimple, and the two Whiskers N Paws residents, Alice and Arlene.
