Sat 24th Feb: WNP volunteers needed

 I like to start with adoption updates, but instead I'll post the headshots of five new dogs that turned up at our Kennedy Town North Street Centre today.  It was a complete surprise and with very short notice, so I hope that they will find homes as quickly as the recent newcomers did.  I suspect that terrier pup Gavin (estimated to be six months old) won't have to wait for long, and possibly the other terrier type Griffin, but who knows?   As always if you're interested in adopting, please start by completing the adoption questionnaire at www.hongkongdogrescue.com/adopt/adoption-questionnaire/.

Griffin is around 3 years old 

Unfortunately you can't really see what the dogs look like from just the heads, so I'm adding a full body shot of Griffin so you can see that he's a lovely terrier boy, very much like a Cairn terrier or similar in both looks, shape and size.

Adorable and tiny Mouse 

Little Mouse the Maltese was adopted today, while puppy Enzo was taken for a short trial with ex-HKDR dog Georgie.  So far the two have been getting along very well, so the chances are that we won't be seeing Enzo again, at least as available for adoption.

A reminder if needed that we hold a Puppy Party every Sunday from 1pm to 3pm at Whiskers N Paws, 10/F Horizon Plaza, Ap Lei Chau.  This is the ideal venue to meet puppies that are staying in foster homes, or our Kennedy Town Homing Centre, as well as the two current store residents, Arlene and Annie. 

Talking of these Sunday puppy events, we're in need of more volunteers who can help with the puppies and with the adoption process.  I know it's challenging to give up every Sunday afternoon, so we just ask that anyone who wants to become a volunteer can help out regularly and long-term.  We see many who sign up and then only come once or twice, and it's frustrating to go through all of the explanations about how it works and what we're looking for only for it all to be a waste of time.   So if you genuinely want to become involved we would love to hear from you, and you can start by sending me an email at sallyandersen@hongkongdogrescue.com.  (Over 18s only please).
