Mon 2nd Dec: Can you help with Pinky's surgery costs?

Today was one of those days (for me) that I don't want to repeat. It doesn't help that our HKDR driver is off this week, so when there are emergencies with any of our dogs we have to rely on hire vans and volunteers, or in the case of the Lamma dogs, me and a helper. What made today such a nightmare was that there wasn't just one (large) dog that needed to get to Acorn, but two, as Pinky suddenly presented with obvious signs of bloat meaning a quick turnaround for me after I was at the clinic in the morning with Astro, then back again in the afternoon.  Luckily Pinky had emergency surgery that will hopefully save his life, but like many Lamma dogs he's not easy to handle and that makes a hospital stay challenging.  I'm trying to work out a solution for him so he can recover in a clean environment, but apart from anything else if anyone can donate towards the cost of his surgery and post-surgical care it would be greatly appreciated.  These sorts of emergency surgical cases add a huge financial burden to our limited resources, especially when it means hospitalisation afterwards.  Account name with HSBC - Hong Kong Dog Rescue Limited

Thankfully there's adoption updates to counter the dramas of the day, and one of those was the pom from AFCD that was an in-and-out case.  He was with us for a matter of minutes before being adopted, which is the best outcome for any dog.  The standard poodle that came with the pom is just a year old and is now called Zorro, in case there are potential adopters out there.  As always, please start by completing the questionnaire at www.hongkongdogrescue.com/adopt/adoption-questionnaire/.  

You can also see the many other small dogs that are available for adoption on our Facebook page, and there are really so many to choose from Small dogs available for adoption (Kennedy Town- Dec2024).

We'll also be taking in another small dog from AFCD, this time a Yorkshire terrier (older) puppy girl, so again please complete the questionnaire if interested in adoption.  As I expect there will be a lot of interest in this little girl, we will choose the home that we feel can offer the best life for her.
