(For some reason I can't upload photos, so please check the Facebook comments to see the lucky dogs mentioned).
It's always exciting when dogs are adopted from our Tai Po Homing Centre because these are mostly larger sized adults, and not the types that are suitable for most homes. I should mention that we also have puppies staying at Tai Po, as well as medium-sized dogs like Stacie, for example. She was a recent addition from AFCD, and not only is she quite small and only eight months old, but when she went to Acorn to be desexed the other day her vet notes included the comment "Lovely dog!".
Back to today's great news, and that was the double adoption of Nigel and Vera, both large sized dogs. Vera has been with us since she was a very young puppy, and she's a graduate of the Kennedy Town Homing Centre, while Nigel came to HKDR as a young adult. They became friends at the Homing Centre, and now they can continue that friendship into old age.
Another ex-Kennedy Town puppy was also adopted, and even though at first it was puppy Navy who was expected to be chosen, in the end Poppy was the lucky girl. The kind adopter said she knew that black dogs were too often overlooked, even though they're almost always lovely characters and very smart, so Poppy can look forward to an amazing life now. It's true that Navy is a very special puppy, pretty and really incredibly sweet, but she will find a home for sure.
More good things happened at Tai Po when Dr Damien and Dr Angel Cheng from Peticare (www.peticare.com.hk) visited the Homing Centre to give FREE vaccinations to dogs that were due their 3-yearly boosters, and they managed to vaccinate forty seven dogs during their visit. Not only did it save us a huge amount of time and trouble, but also a lot of money during these very difficult times. We're very grateful to Peticare and the two vets for such a kind and generous contribution.
We have another adoption event coming up this Saturday for the smaller dogs, so if you're interested in any of them you can drop by, or of course meet the candidates any other day at our Kennedy Town Homing Centre, Shop 4 Brilliant Court, Sai Hong Lane, 28 Praya Kennedy Town. Please remember to complete the questionnaire before visiting either venue, and you can find it at www.hongkongdogrescue.com/adopt/adoption-questionnaire/.
