I'm going to start with an adoption that took place at Whiskers N Paws today, a first-timer at the regular Sunday Puppy Parties. Benny and his siblings, Brodie and Beryl, have been in foster care since first coming to us as very young puppies, and they're now old enough to head off to start their new lives as forever family members.
We have to trust that forever really does mean that, because sadly it's not always the case. I had written several times about two puppies-now-doglets who were adopted together and then abandoned by their adopter who did a sudden disappearing act. With nowhere else for Lennox and Lewis to go, they're now with me on Lamma, but this isn't a situation that is ideal for them, or for me or HKDR.
Most of the recent surrender requests have been for huskies for some reason, with one being only two years old and who is no longer wanted because of a new baby in the home.
We also have a just-turned one year-old white German shepherd girl, bought as a puppy by someone we have recognised as a serial surrenderer.
At the other send of the size scale, there are two poodles from the same home also looking for a new family. The reason given for this surrender was financial, which is a good reminder that even small dogs need the basics of food, tick, flea and heartworm prevention. There are also vet costs that need to be taken into account, and all of these cost money.
The Jack Russell puppies aren't a surrender case as such, we are just trying to help find homes for the two remaining, a girl (Miriam) and a boy (Badger).
