First of all I want to say how lovely it is that when help is asked for there's a heartwarming response, such as on Saturday when I needed to get two Lamma dogs to Acorn for sedation and shaving, and a flight volunteer to get terrier Wiska to California. We're just waiting for confirmation of the flight and paperwork requirements, but it looks as though Wiska will be flying off to start her new American life very soon, and in the meantime she's gone to a foster home with the same couple who helped out on Saturday.
The reason there were no Kennedy Town volunteers to spare on Saturday was because we were holding our now-regular bi-monthly Small Dog Adoption event at Whiskers N Paws, and you can see the wonderful photos taken by Tap Momentale (Iris) here: Puppy Adoption Day 10th Aug 2024 Penny was the day's lucky dog, and even better, her adopters came back on Sunday to bring Tingle home, so it was a delayed double adoption.
Another two small dogs also found their families, and both were new arrivals to Kennedy Town. One was very pretty girl August, while the other was poodle Alfie who was taken for a trial to see how he and the resident poodle got along. From the photos we were sent it looks like it was an instant bond, so while I don't normally share photos or names for trial adoptions, I think it's safe to say this is going to be a confirmed home very soon.
We have four new small dogs due to arrive on Monday, so keep your eyes open for details if you're interested.
The huskies have also been lucky in finding new homes, and I believe there's only one still available and currently in foster care. This sudden group intake created a lot of extra work, especially for Yannie, so it's a huge relief to be able to almost draw a line under the case.
I hope that the new new arrivals at Tai Po will be as lucky, but as they're not specific breeds the chances are that they will need to wait longer. When we received the surrender requests for Lala and Bubble (from the same home), the form stated that the dogs were being left for three days at a time, even if food and water were presumably available judging from their condition.
There are still a few spots available in our 2025 Desk Calendar, but be quick if you want to have your own dog included:
