Another month has passed, bringing us well and truly into the last quarter of the year and hopefully a time for successful fundraising events. The arrangements for Peak to Fong 2024 have been in the works for a while, and we have secured some great partners to ensure another amazing get-together for Hong Kong's dog fans and their pooches, as well as a new T-shirt to add the the collections from the past. I think you'll all love this year's design.
Also very importantly, the autumn means adoption time for many families, so if that means you please keep checking in for news on new dogs, or the many who are already with us. I know that many readers of my blog do so to check on dog that have just arrived, or will be coming soon, and that includes young bichon frise Jilly, whose photo prompted a lot of interest. Happily for her she left the Kennedy Town Homing Centre today with her new family, but there are many other lovely and small-sized dogs still waiting, including another young bichon called Tucker. I really don't know why he wasn't snatched up as soon as he arrived, but in these cases I always feel they're just waiting for the perfect home.
It was also a lucky day for gorgeous big-eared Almond at Tai Po, as she was chosen by an active couple to join their hikes and adventures.
Malamute Paddington also had his adoption confirmed by his foster parents, even though they said he was the laziest dog they'd ever known!
Other than the information on all of our available dogs on our website, we have a lot of additional information which is especially useful for first-time dog adopters, and you can check it our here: https://hongkongdogrescue.com/
It doesn't matter if you have never had a dog before, but just as every new car driver needs to learn about how cars work and the rules of driving, every new dog owner should take the time to learn about dogs BEFORE bringing one home. Even though every HKDR adopter has free access to our very experienced trainer, Cactus Mok, we see from the questions that are regularly asked about very basic things that many people get the dog or puppy first, and then try to work out what to do.
As well as having the free advice from Cactus about training and behaviour, all HKDR adopters will also receive a booklet with everything you need to know about bringing your new dog or puppy home, including feeding instructions. This handy booklet was put together based on the frequently asked questions, so please take the time to read through it.
I was waiting to post today's update in the hope that I could include the adoptions for August, but as it's a Sunday I might have to wait. The good news, at least for me, is that I have my new phone up and running, which is a huge relief, so now I just need to update all of my contacts.
