Thurs 19th Sept: Character has nothing to do with looks

 There was some confusion when I posted the photo of puppies Ivy and Indigo, because although I had mentioned they had been adopted by their foster home several people just saw the picture and applied to adopt them too.  There are three more siblings in this litter of Rain Babies, but Izzy (cream) Isa (brown) and Inky (black) don't look like their fluffy sisters.  In fact it was an unusual litter in that all puppies were different colours.  Unfortunately and inevitably the cute looks attract attention, even if what's underneath in terms of character and personality are identical.  

Because all of the dogs that live with me on Lamma are only there by default, meaning they weren't adopted as puppies, I didn't actually choose any of them, so I can honestly say that the way they look or the type and colour of their coat has no bearing on their behaviour.  Maybe we should blindfold potential adopters and let them choose their puppies without being able to judge their appearance.  The first lick wins the home, or something like that. 

We always have new dogs and puppies coming in, and today was no exception although luckily it was only two arrivals. Docker is a poodle boy and Dimple a lively but small sized puppy girl, and both will be at Acorn for their health checks on Friday morning, meaning they'll be available for adoption by late afternoon or over the weekend. 

Happily one of the recent older puppies was adopted today, while Potter, who is staying at Whiskers N Paws, will be going to his new home on Saturday. 

With the very popular dogs and puppies there is almost always more than one potential adopter, so assuming all homes are equal then we will let the dog go to the one that can take it home first.  If you don't get the dog or puppy you first had your eyes on, please remember that there are many others you can consider, and we have new arrivals coming in all the time.  

For all adoption enquiries please start by completing the questionnaire at www.hongkongdogrescue.com/adopt/adoption-questionnaire/ and we will get back to you as quickly as we can.
