It seems incredible that we're already halfway through September, with the Mid-Autumn Festival coming up next week. Just as a reminder for those of you who don't already know, our Homing Centres in Kennedy Town and Tai Po are open every single day of the year regardless of holidays or typhoons, so you can come to meet the dogs whenever you're free.
We took in so many new dogs over the past week, all sizes, and while there has already been quite a lot of interest in the smaller ones, potential adopters are waiting for the vet reports when the dogs have been for their routine health checks. Two of those new arrivals were shiba inus from a breeder, with one of them still dripping milk intended for her puppies. I can't tell you how much I despise the breeders for their complete lack of care and compassion for the dogs that they use to make money, and with so many dogs and puppies available from animal rescue groups I can't see any reason to buy. You might have to wait a while if you want a particular breed, but unless it's some rare and exotic type then I'm sure you will find what you're looking for.
We held our bi-monthly Small Dog Adoption afternoon at Whiskers N Paws today, and although there were no immediate adoptions these events are really to allow people to meet the dogs in an open and spacious setting. We also received a wonderful donation of treats from 55 Troop of the USA Girl Scouts, so the dogs are going to be very happy.
On Sunday we'll be back with the puppies, from 2pm to 4pm, although the new arrivals won't be joining until after their health checks. These are two shiba puppies, Gus and Greta, as well as Ginny and Giselle. You can meet them any time at our Kennedy Town Homing Centre, but please start by completing the adoption questionnaire at www.hongkongdogrescue.com/adopt/adoption-questionnaire/.
There was one very special adoption that took place at our Tai Po Homing Centre today, as senior boy Joss was given a rest-of-life home by our long-term volunteer Vivian. In fact Vivian has been with HKDR since the very beginning, and she's also a Board Member, so she understands what it means to give the old dogs comfort and extra love in their final days.
If you haven't already seen this fantastic holiday offer on our social media pages, this is your last chance to book. Not only is this guaranteed to be an amazing safari experience, but you will also be supporting HKDR when you book.
