Weds 31st Jan: Roll on the Year of the Dragon!


 Well, that's it, a whole month has flown by and now we have Chinese New Year approaching with all of the pre-holiday slowdown that comes with it.  Still, there was one adoption from our Kennedy Town Homing Centre to add to the January total, and that was schnauzer girl Snazzy.  She will be "sister" to ex-HKDR Rex, who some of you may remember was a blind and almost-deaf boy who was so kindly given a forever home a few months ago. 
Rex stayed at Elgin Street before he was adopted

While one small dog left, four puppies arrived.  The surprise wasn't the puppies themselves, rather the fact that we were only expecting two, but thankfully there were two foster homes who were able to take a pair each.  


The puppies aren't from the same litter, as you can see from the photos, and you can follow the progress of two of them on Instagram @why_i_foster.  Yes, gorgeous boys Enzo and Bertie are also still in the same foster home, so it's going to be fun and games I'm sure.  Bertie is still a work in progress, as he arrived as a terrified puppy, even if really gorgeously cute, while Enzo is also beautiful and without any personality problems.  In fact I'm 100% sure that if it wasn't the wrong time of year for finding homes, Enzo would have been adopted a long time ago.
Enzo has a wonderful hairdo

 








The total adoptions for January were only twenty nine, a much lower number than our usual monthly figure.  I can't wait for the Year of the Dragon to start so we can get back to doing what we do best, finding forever homes for our dogs and puppies.  It's quite worrying to see the incoming numbers far exceed the outgoing, even if we know why this is the case.
