Mon 24th Feb: Puppy update

 We've had quite a few new puppies coming in over the past week or so, with seven youngsters arriving today and heading straight for their foster homes.  It's impossible to say at this point what their eventual adult size will be, but I'm guessing medium.

The previous new arrivals are slightly older so they were able to join the regular Sunday Puppy Party at Whiskers N Paws Puppy Adoption Day 23rd Feb 2025, while one of the resident guests at the store was adopted just before the party started.   These puppies are Rufus, Roo, Raffle and Riley, so you can check them out in the photo album.  Rufus has been transformed in the few days he's been with us, and he's now a gorgeous ball of fluff, while Raffle has been lucky enough to be taken home for fostering. Thanks to Carol for being our volunteer photographer for the event, and if anyone with camera skills would like to join the team please email the photography coordinator elenamathew@gmail.com.

The adopted puppy Lulu came to us from AFCD, and the reason I want to mention this is because when we're asked if we can take in puppies from wherever and we're unable to do so at the time, I suggest the puppies are taken to AFCD.  This is usually rejected on the grounds that AFCD will just kill them, but as long as the puppies are friendly and adoptable, they will be offered to all of the rescue organisations for re-homing.  That means that even if HKDR don't have space, perhaps others will.  For Lulu and the second resident WNP puppy, Liza, the timing was lucky when AFCD asked if we could accept them.
