Sun 13th Oct: Mid-October catch-up

 While Wiska is settling into her new home in the USA, one of our senior Tai Po dog Scrunch was adopted today and will be flying off to her new home in Canada tomorrow.  It's lovely to know that HKDR alumni are spread far and wide all over the world, and these lucky dogs are going to have the best life.

We're urgently in need of foster homes (as always), both for puppies and for dogs like poodle Otto who has the typical wobbly knees so common in small dogs. We can't really go ahead with the surgery until Otto has somewhere to stay where he won't get knocked and jumped on by playful friends, so please fill in the foster form at www.hongkongdogrescue.com/volunteer/fostering/ if you can help.   

One big favour I need to ask is that you only offer if you are serious and can genuinely take a dog or puppy, because we do get a lot of offers that are withdrawn at the last minute.  I think it's a case of wanting to help and then realising it's not a good idea, but the result is that we're left holding the "baby".  Often we will only agree to take puppies if we have foster homes lined up, so it's really difficult to be let down at the last minute.  

On Saturday a selection of our smaller dogs enjoyed the afternoon at Whiskers N Paws Small dogs Adoption day 12th Oct 2024, while it was the turn of the puppies on Sunday as always (photos to follow).  I'd missed mentioning that two puppies were adopted from our Kennedy Town Homing Centre on Friday, in case you were wondering where Perrin and Phoebe were.  They're already enjoying their new life together and having lots of fun playing. 

We've also been asked to take in a sweet senior Yorkie, another popular breed, so if you're able to help please complete the adoption questionnaire at www.hongkongdogrescue.com/adopt/adoption-questionnaire/.
