Another reminder that this will be our final weekend at our Kennedy Town Brilliant Court Homing Centre, although we will remain at North Street until we can move into the new space in Ap Lei Chau. Our call for temporary foster homes has resulted in almost all of the dogs having somewhere to stay during the ten days when the fixtures and fittings at Brilliant Court will be dismantled for re-installation at Ap Lei Chau, so a huge thank you to everyone for helping to make this possible. The few dogs that are still without foster homes will have to be squeezed in at North Street, but hopefully there will be some late offers of foster homes on Sunday.
Obviously we have had to stop taking in any more dogs during this period, but this morning I got a message asking if we could accept five exceptionally gorgeous puppies. They needed to be moved from wherever they were immediately, and having nowhere else to go I made the decision to say yes, while frantically posting their photos on Facebook in the hope that we could find fosters or adopters before they arrived.
I'd made other plans for the day but then dropped everything to try to arrange some space on Lamma to temporarily park the puppies, with everything being made doubly difficult due to it being a long holiday weekend and with so many people being away. Thankfully one of our wonderful supporters (and adopter) was available to pick the puppies up from Kennedy Town with his car, and to drop them off on a sampan to send to Lamma. In the meantime there was one offer of a foster home, so in the end four beautiful babies came to me until a better situation could be found.
The photos don't really do justice to these adorable babies, and apart from being ridiculously cute they're also super friendly and desperate for attention. If you're interested in adopting please complete the questionnaire at www.hongkongdogrescue.com/adopt/adoption-questionnaire/, or even foster homes would be appreciated (the form is at www.hongkongdogrescue.com/volunteer/fostering/.
If you would like to see videos of the puppies, I'll be sharing the on my Instagram @sallythedoglady.
Of course there are other equally gorgeous puppies also waiting for homes, and they will be at our regular Sunday Puppy Parties at Whiskers N Paws, Horizon Plaza, Ap Lei Chau (and you can take another look at last Sunday's photos here Puppy Adoption Day 13th April 2025 ).
There's some very happy news to share, as tiny Pammy's foster home very quickly changed to forever, a wonderful ending to a sad story.
Also my Lamma dog Irwen, who was already suffering from a very bad heart condition before a freak accident which resulted in him losing an eye, is finally on the mend. I had even reached the point of booking a vet appointment to have him euthanised when he was so low that the situation seemed hopeless, but the afternoon before the dreaded day arrived Irwen got up from his bed and asked for some chicken. Of course his heart is never going to get better, but for now the crisis has been resolved, along with the stress that I was experiencing.
