Tues 13th Aug: Disappointment for Wiska, and new dogs again

 Before anything else, please check out the video on Instagram @wma_hk featuring Yannie, her story and how she started working for HKDR, and why she chose this way of life.  I think you'll enjoy it, as well as giving an insight into the work that we do.

It was a busy day again today, with the four new small dogs going to Acorn for their vet checks, and then to AFCD for licensing.  I was there too because I needed to take out two turtles that had homes to go to, as well as three puppies we'd been asked to accept.  They're all boys and are now Reggie, Ronnie and Rupert.  

Another husky found a new forever home, leaving just one still available.  Rain is a 3 year-old desexed male, and a very friendly boy too.  If you're interested in adopting Rain, or any of our dogs or puppies, please start by completing the questionnaire at www.hongkongdogrescue.com/adopt/adoption-questionnaire/.  

Usually I'll respond to all messages immediately, or at least on the same day, but I've been tied up with other matters this week, including the urgent need to get everything sorted for terrier Wiska's flight to the USA.  We had an offer from someone who was flying to San Francisco on Korean Air to accompany Wiska, checking her in as excess baggage, which is the cheapest option for flying a dog.  Everything was going ahead full speed until the evening, when the person changed her mind and said she was no longer willing to help (in so many words).  We have all become used to disappointments having had so many over the years, but this was a bit different as there was really nothing for the flight volunteer to do other than turn up at the airport and check in as normal.  So now we need another willing volunteer for Wiska, flying to either San Francisco or Los Angeles, but only on an airline that will accept dogs as excess baggage, which excludes the usual carriers to the West Coast. 

If that's you, and you can guarantee not to have a sudden change of heart, please email info@hongkongdogrescue.com.
