Mon 9th Sept: Lots of catching up to do

 Starting with the Puppy Party at Whiskers N Paws on Sunday, and the double adoption of  brothers Biggles and Bentley, a lovely surprise.  The photographer for the afternoon was our great friend Jimmy Tsang, and here's the full album Puppy Adoption Day 8th Sep 2024. The names will be added soon if you're interested in adopting, and in case you're wondering the just-vacated space following the adoption has already been filled by two new puppies, Posy and Potter. 

They came to us from AFCD, as did a senior Malamute who went straight to her new home.

Another adoption was that of Quentin, a lovely young boy who had been with us since he was a very young puppy, graduating from Kennedy Town to Tai Po before being chosen to go to his new home where he joins another ex-HKDR dog. 

Young bichon Tucker has also found his forever family, while little terrier type Kiki and shiba inu Kimi have also moved out.  We need the space created by adoptions for the non-stop arrivals of newcomers, which will include a poodle from AFCD and three other small dogs from another source on Tuesday.  I'll share details of them after they're with us, and there will be yet another three following on from these later in the week. 

For all adoption enquiries please start by completing the questionnaire at www.hongkongdogrescue.com/adopt/adoption-questionnaire/. 

Following on from my last blog post where I wrote about the changes that have taken place in disparate the band of  Lamma dogs, I was taken by surprise to see yet another very timid dog venturing out.  Sarah came to us while we were still at the Centre in Ap Lei Chau along with her two very young puppies, and while they were quickly adopted Sarah was so scared of everyone and everything that she just hid in a corner.  When we left Ap Lei Chau and the office dogs were moved to Lamma, Sarah continued to hide whenever anyone was around.  Although her behaviour improved to a certain extent, she still kept her distance when treats were being handed out, and only took them from the ground rather than accepting from a hand.  She's obviously been watching as the other dogs have been going out with me every day, and today she made the bold decision to join them, at least for part of the way.  It's taken years, but maybe this is the start of a whole new life for this beautiful girl.
