With less than two weeks to go until Christmas, can I suggest you take advantage of the gift-buying opportunity on Saturday by heading to Kennedy Town to check out the great items we have for sale. Remember that not only are the clothes, caps and calendars etc useful, but you'll also be supporting our rescue efforts when you buy.
You could also combine your shopping with a visit to our Homing Centre, where we have so many gorgeous little dogs waiting to meet their forever families, including four new arrivals who came today. Three of these are very small, tiny really, with the two poodles and one mini pinscher weighing just 2-plus kilos, a perfect size for many. Please remember to complete the questionnaire before dropping by to meet them though, and you can find it at www.hongkongdogrescue.com/adopt/adoption-questionnaire/.
Our already-resident mini pinscher, Urban, was adopted today, and as he was such a popular boy, we're hoping the new girl, Pocket, won't be waiting long before she also leaves the Homing Centre.
I also wanted to mention another adoption, because this was a perfect example of a dog being labelled problematic when the problem was actually the home and the humans. Kinsey was adopted not long after she came to us, but within a day she had (been allowed to) run into a road where she was hit by a car. Eventually the adopters returned her, complaining that she couldn't be toilet trained, and she went to a lovely foster home who introduced her to a new family. Kinsey was quickly adopted, re-named Sally, and she is perfect in every way, including her toileting. This is why we prefer to take a dog back if things aren't working out, because it's far better than leaving a dog in a home where it's obviously unhappy.
I made a mistake when I mentioned another event taking place this weekend, because it's actually both days at Whiskers N Paws, Saturday and Sunday. That means you don't have to miss out if you're busy on one of the days, and our regular Puppy Party will also be taking place as usual on Sunday, from 2pm to 4pm.
We're always being asked if we can accept more dogs that are losing their homes for one reason or another, and we try to take in as many as we can bearing in mind the space limitations. Of course there are certain breeds that we know will quickly find a new home, one of those being golden retrievers. Today we were asked if we could find a new home for a 2 year-old female GR, so although she isn't with us yet if you're interested in this dog please complete the questionnaire.
