As I've mentioned some very happy news in this post's heading, I'll start with the confirmed double adoption of two little seniors, Pringle and Snickers. They have joined recently-adopted "red" (no longer) poodle Carrot's lovely family, and you'll be able to follow their adventures on Instagram @flora_broom.
There was more very good news today when runaway boy Tonka was found after several days. He was in a drain and needed to be rescued by the fire service, and I suspect he got stuck in there after hiding during the thunder and rain. It's obviously a huge relief for everyone, including the Kennedy Town volunteers who had taken Tonka's mother, Tinker, over to help with the search.
Any adoption at Tai Po is always extra special, and it was Skylar who was the lucky dog this time. It's a very sad fact that mixed breed adult dogs are extremely lucky to be chosen, and many if not most will spend their entire lives at the Tai Po Homing Centre. It doesn't matter how sweet, loving and well-behaved they are, most adopters want small dogs, puppies or specific breeds, and it's very sad.
Eric Tang was the photographer for this week's Puppy Party at Whiskers N Paws, and you can see his heartwarming shots here Puppy Adoption Day 16th March 2025. Names will be added very soon if you're interested in knowing who the puppies are.
It was also quite a relief to say goodbye to young poodle Bingo today, because he was a very popular boy with lots of interest from potential adopters. Biggles also has many potential homes, and I hope they don't all turn up at the same time to adopt, as so often happens.
We are still in need of temporary foster homes for the renovation period during the move from Kennedy Town to Ap Lei Chau. This should be for two weeks during April, and hopefully everything at the new location will be ready for occupation by the end of April. If you can take in a small dog while the fixtures and fittings are being torn out of our Kennedy Town Centre to be re-used, please complete the form at www.hongkongdogrescue.com/volunteer.fostering/, or email Cindy at foster@hongkongdogrescue.com if you are already registered with us.
